I got this great OL Grading Sheet from another coach & I want to pay it forward. Could be used for any position really. Helped us build a scoring system & expectations.
Shoot me a DM and I will share a blank template with you.

Coaches don’t have 5 minutes to go through your highlights. You have 2 minutes tops and that only if your first clip grabs their attention. Make your highlights direct and to the point.

Football 101: 🤔
Do u have an intro course that u put ur athletes through? Basic review of positions, rules, strategies, & basic terminology?
Seems like we get more athletes coming into HS w. no experience. How are u adjusting & accounting for this?
Make sure your film is dialed in!

Question: I never understood the tech designations over the TE so for uniformity I teach it as 6i, 6, and 7. I have yet to have anyone explain to me WHY the change to 7, 6, & 9 instead of 6i, 6, & 7? Does anyone know?🤔
So much done right here by OU. This is a thing of beauty. H Back kicks out the end, BS tackle pulls and fits to the Backer, PS Guard combos the nose into BS DT and climbs to the next backer. So damn pretty.
As a HS Coach, if a HS kid mistakes me for a college coach & sends me his film, I take it as a compliment & take the opportunity to encourage them. These kids are chasing dreams.
My daughter has been accepted to 4 schools thus far. She will graduate with a 4.02 GPA. She hasn’t played a sport since 10th grade.
From these 4 colleges she has received collectively well over $100,000 worth of academic scholarship $ for the next 4 years.
YOUR GRADES MATTER!

No kid showed up today and said “I can’t wait to piss of coach and do everything wrong.”
Stop screaming at them and figure out where the communication breakdown is happening and fix it. It might just be you.
That is called coaching.
I don’t try to develop my players for the .019% chance they will play D1 ball.
I develop them for the 100% certainty that they will someday be faced with a difficult situation that they have to struggle and fight to get through.

Advice to “young” coaches doesn’t apply easily to me (bc I am old) so pls don’t tell me to “slow down” or say that “I have time”.

How many different variations of IZ do you have? which is your favorite? How many do you bring into a game?
IZ: Base, Read, Read Follow, Cut/Divide/Split, Arc/Graze, Lock, etc.
I am an OL coach. Just spent 30 min working with my daughter working Volleyball 🏐. We did about 50 sets, 50 passes & worked some simple quick twitch muscle acquisition. I found myself explaining F.T.T.G. & driving off the insteps. Same rules, same movement, different sport.
Thinking of my friend & family out in California. Storm is hitting hard. This picture is from yesterday in Mission Beach, San Diego area. Friends and family in North California really getting hit hard as well. 🙏
Gallop or "Overlap" for Combo blocks?
Was a Gallop Combo guy for a long time & I started teaching the "overlap" combo blocking technique last year in a Zone heavy run scheme. Really like it, especially with smaller OL players.
Do you have a preference?

@64AMDG
& his book "Building the Block" which forever changed how I looked at OL play. ⤵️
I love working with OL. I love the blue collar, come get some, dirty hands mentality of it all. I love the mixture of finesse with ferocity. OL is where it’s at
Really like this! Simple… organized by run play or pass protection. Do you find that your “tweaks” in season are more based on the refinement of your OL skills and correcting deficiencies or is it adjustment to what your opponent that week presents?
True story from a well known clinic.
Very well known OL coach: “Ask questions if you don’t understand, but I don’t think any of you have the balls to“.
Me: (asked 3-4 legit questions)
Coach: “If you don’t get it, I can’t help you”.
😂 be careful what you ask for coach.

🗣️📢 OL Coaches 👋
Do you have a "Drill Bank"? If you do, I got questions.
1⃣ How is it organized?
2⃣ Do you have different banks for basic skill acquisition and skill refinement?
3⃣ As players progress and the season continues, how do you use and adapt your drill bank?
Another great addition to the
#Gridiron101
project 📁!
Use it to teach players different Def schemes & then test their understanding of assignments for specific plays by drawing it up vs each of the various schemes!
Simple & Effective🤜💥🤛
Good. You couldn’t justify this drill to me if you tried and this decision confirms that this game is changing, for the better, at ALL levels. Get on board or get out of the way.
I am a huge fan of "say less" coaching cues.
@CoachAHarrell11
utilizes this in the form of a "Coaches Rolodex" where each position coach uses one-word coaching cues.
Helps with tempo & doesn't waste time at practice. I am so using this. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The coaches we remember…
-Gave us a safe place to learn.
-Gave us opportunities.
-Defended us when needed.
-Recognized us when deserved.
-Developed us as leaders.
-Inspired us to be better.
-Led by example.
-Told us we mattered.
-Forgave our mistakes.
Be that coach.

@CoachE_Philly
We can't preach "faith, family, football" then "dock" a kid that has to miss 1 practice a week so they can work & help their family. He is being a responsible adult. What can you do to help ensure he is caught up & it doesn't impact his future? Support him & work w. him.
I break the ice. It’s what I do. Freshman, kids in general, are told what to do & when to do it. They come in quiet and not confident. I have to get them to gel as a team and help build confidence. Hype helps. Plus it’s fun. Their smiles are proof of that!

Nothing positive in this drill. Absolutely nothing. There is a reason the NFL outlawed drills like this. 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. Come on ppl.
It’s never easy moving on. I am excited for future 🚀 & look forward to building something great with Coach Tedford at Thompson Valley! Time to get after it!
