SCOREBOARD

EQuote of the Day: 03.09.2016

We keep score in life because it matters. It Counts! 

Too many people opt out & never discover their own abilities,

Because they fear failure. When you learn to keep fighting

 In the face of potential failure, it gives you a larger skill set 

To do what you want to do in life.

 Pat Summit: SUM IT UP

Question of the Day: 

 

It gives you vision, 

But you can't acquire if you are afraid of keeping score;

Are you?

Galatians 6:9

 

 

COACHING

EQuote of the Day: 03.08.2016

Coaching isn't social work, but it's more than just a game;

It's a heart felt vocation, in which you are powerfully 

Bonded to students who need you. 

Pat Summit: SUM IT UP

Question of the Day: 

 

Do you really, really know how much they need you?

Think about it. How much time do you spend with them

each day, each season, in the weightroom, conditioning?

Galatians 6:9

FUN

EQuote of the Day: 03.07.2016

Teams have more fun.

This is not a trivial point, because the kind of fun 

They have is integral for their performance. 

Katzenback & Smith

Question of the Day: 

 

How might you put more Fun in

Teaching them the FUNdaMENTALS?

Galatians 6:9

 

DO'S & DON'TS OF DEFENSE

Do's & Don'ts of Defense

 

1. Football is a personal war to begin with; as a football player you are part of a team, but as a defensive player you must be tough, rough, and aggressive, with a burning desire to destroy the opponent’s offense.

2. The name of the game is hit. To do a great a job, you must hit at full tilt with your entire strength on every play.

3. Be in exact position on each defense. You are placed in this position for a reason and that is to protect your territory properly. You cannot do this and be out of position.

4. Keep you head up - eyes open - keep your shoulders square and lower than your opponents.

5. Strike your opponent and destroy his block immediately. Play the head tough and fight pressure as your contact is made.

6. Get free of your opponent’s block as quickly as possible - work for lateral movement.

7. Keep your feet on a parallel plane. Keep your knees bent and behind shoulders. Keep opponent away from your legs.

8. Pursue! We live by pursuit. Pursuit is desire, hustle, and pride in defense. If the ball is in your immediate area, move laterally to the ball. If the ball is away from your area, be sure you take the correct angle of pursuit to get to the ball.

9. Gang tackle! This helps to demoralize a ball carrier. We want every player we have to get to the ball as quickly as possible and arrive in a nasty state of mind.

10. Be alert for things that will help you such as pulling guards, offensive linemen or backs pointing, etc.

11. Play your position first, then support other areas as quickly as possible.

12. Second effort! Constant hustle! These are the marks of a good defense.

13. Be tough, aggressive, and quick! You can improve all of these things plus your reaction and speed by hard, diligent practice.

14. Destroy - pursue - gang tackle! Make this your motto.

Don’ts of Defense

 

1. Don’t catch the block of your opponent. (you hit him)

2. Don’t play around your man. (play through him)

3. Don’t watch the backs for they will deceive you. (read your key and find the ball.)

4. Don’t bury your head on the ground. (head and eyes up at all times)

5. Don’t make up your own defenses or stunts. (you have all you can do to play the ones the coaches select for you.)

6. Don’t Lose your poise. (a hot head only defeats himself.)

7. Don’t fool around with your man. (destroy his block and get rid of him.)

8. Don’t assume the play is over. (be sure - hustle until the ball is dead)

9. Don’t ever relax on defense. (be ready as soon as the offensive center comes out of the huddle.)

10. Don’t ever be buried. (you have a personal war with your man - destroy him.)

BASE PLAY

EQuote of the Day: 03.04.2016

Football is about defeating the man in front of you.

Everything else plays out from there.
