Phase 1-Off Season Program Standards November to January
I would call this my brief post season phase where a lot of organization takes place in regards to player personnel, coaching staff, budgeting and coaching professional development. You could say this part of the year has three themes-reflection, justification and expectation. • Reflection- Conduct exit interviews with players and staff. Revisit
offensive, defensive and special schemes and game plans and assess the effectiveness with the coaching staff. Reflect on how to improve our coaching.
• Justification- Assess the interviews and meetings with players and coaches to determine what changes need to be made and if they are necessary. Justify what players and coaches should not be a part of the program. Assess inventory and research prices on uniforms and equipment.
• Expectation- Establish what scheme changes will occur and how the staff will implement them. Determine what professional development and training the players and staff should be attending.
Player Exit Interviews1. Do you plan on playing football in
2015?2. Where do you see yourself, position-

Phase 3 Summer ProgramMid-May to August
• This is the preparation stage of the year both physically and mentally with the implementation of Strength and Speed, Conditioning and 7 on 7/non-contact skill training. The training sessions are now going to be attended by all players whom we had been missing from the winter and spring sports seasons. The 7 on 7/Flag Practices will include skill development in all areas from skills to linemen. We will also address the development of mental training as it relates to imagery, self-talk, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, goal setting and relaxation/meditation. In addition to the physical and mental training, the topic of communication will also be addressed to increase positive and productive communication in training and competition atmospheres.
Summer Strength, Speed and Conditioning Program
• The purpose of the summer program is to develop our athletes in strength, speed and increase their conditioning. We will incorporate a 14 week long training regiment that has our players tested pre-program and they will observe a one plus set on the 3rd, 8th and 12th weeks to observe any increases in strength. The speed training and agility work are concentrated more on an anaerobic energy systems focus with a little aerobic mixed in. The strength program is based around muscular strength, endurance and power with little focus on hypertrophy.

Phase 4 In Season Program August to November
• My in season program will be based around developing our players through physical and character training with an emphasis on Effort and Execution. We will have a versatile defense that can move freely out of even and odd fronts with an option and zone read running attack that uses play action and west coast passing concepts to get specific players open while keeping the defense off balance through our offensive balance. I have really become a fan of the option style offense since taking this class and I feel that it can be a positive for our program.

Philosophy of OffenseComing from a Wing-T background, deception and the ability to attack
the defense across their entire front are important factors. The purpose of the plays that were selected is to do just that, create a common zone blocking scheme with the ability to attack different holes through the use of reading and optioning the defense. The give and give option will allow the offense to get a quick hit up the middle or use that to attack the edge with the option. The Belly Option will allow the offense to hit the Guard/Tackle hole and still allow an option on the outside, but the offense also has the ability to get a cutback lane by the 3 Back after his handoff. The Stretch Option will allow the offense a wide attack on both sides of the Line of Scrimmage, especially away from where both the Give and Belly have their reads, which is on the TE side of the ball. In addition to the width and opposite attack, the stretch option also gives the T-Back the ability to cut up or take the sweep outside. The Belly Counter can also be ran by the T-back as well which can give this play an added advantage, but the concept behind the play is to use the flow of the defense from running the Belly Option and Give Option to the TE side that we will counter to the opposite side. The backside tackle will also pull on the counter, since most teams will try to key the guards.
Philosophy of Offense-ContinuedThe passing plays that were chosen were to show the
importance of running play action off our running plays, but also to show the need for a crossing route play. The Belly Pass uses a flood concept by running off the corner with the Fade, Smash route by the TE, wide flare by the option man and a Centerfield route by the X receiver, furthermore; the run fake by the H-back will put him in position to pick up the end vacated by the TE. The Give Pop Pass should influence both Middle linebackers to step up, giving the TE space for the quick Pop pass, moreover; the scat route by the Z will open the flare for the T-Back, while the Quick slant could hit big if the nickel back is rolled up on the line in a wide 9 technique. The last pass route that is diagramed is a basic crossing route with a 5 step drop, attracting the Linebackers attention with a shallow route for the T-back, this should allow the TE to open up late behind the backers.
Option ExplanationThe “Option on Me,” system is rather intriguing as a coach
because you are constantly wanting to place defenses at a disadvantage and attack them where they are the weakest. There was a lot of enjoyment and excitement in drawing up these plays and I am doing my best from not trying to install them this year because I want our kids to do what we do best first, but we are having a little bit of struggle as well as entering the hardest part of our schedule. If we were to install them this year, I would first install the Midline and Veer options first because I feel that these are the easier of the 2 reads for the QB and they are utilizing the same players in the same roles, so that could in turn cut down on installation time as far as handing off, reading and pitching. The next option to go in would be the, since there is a little overlap with the pitch relation, but there is the blocking scheme that will take a little time to develop. Finally, the Speed would go in last because of coaching up the fullback on the pitch relation and the blocking duties of the T-back. The speed option was drawn up with the play action to the 2 receiver side, so the players can be exposed to it early.
Toro (Out) motion by the T-back
Defensive PhilosophyComing from more of an offensive background, I base my defensive
philosophy off of what I feel confuses my players and presents me with the most difficult task of defeating my opponent. My defensive philosophy stems from that of a high school background with an odd front defense that can use over and under fronts to get the match ups versus the offensive line that you may want and need. I would prefer to run a 3-4 scheme, since it is much easier at the high school where I am at to find 4 or 5 rotatable defensive linemen than it is to use a set even front. The number of defensive linemen is not the only reason because I also like the flexibility and creativity that an odd front defense offers from a blitzing and stunting aspect. I am a firm believer in confusing an offensive line, while bringing pressure from everywhere to force a quick release from a quarterback. In addition to the stunting and blitzing, I also like the deception of coverage that the 3-4 offers because after the offensive line is confused ... the quarterback should follow. In addition to the confusion of the offensive line, pressure and coverage changes, the most important aspect of my defensive philosophy is to have all 11 players converging on the ball carrier with full speed and effort.

The purpose of having an entire offense for pursuit drill is to give the defense a more realistic look than just having a rabbit go one way or another. The use of offensive linemen allows the backers and defensive linemen a chance to see a high hat to determine pass/run and the incorporation of skill players allows us to run counters reverses and influence plays for the defense. Once the offensive player has the ball, he will not be tackled and he will go to the sideline and ultimately the end zone as shown above. I would also include a pursuit drill where the rabbit stops on the whistle and all of the defense has to collapse down on his position. The structure is quite traditional, defense gets the call, cadence given-linebackers do an up/down and chop feet, linemen lock out and defensive backs drop into coverage until a whistle is blown to disburse the ball and pursuit begins. After the players have gotten to the correct angles and spot they will finish by chopping feet until last whistle upon which they return to defensive huddle.

KickoffI have chosen a basic even kickoff, since the new rules state that the kicking team needs to have at 4 to a side before the kick. We will motion our W or A behind the kicker when attempting an onside kick. My Philosophy in regards to a Kick off team is to have my faster athletes whom have the ability to breakdown and tackle well be on the kickoff team. I feel that kick off and punt are the 2 most important teams because they can cause the biggest momentum swings in a game. The reason for this, kickoff is either when you are starting a game, half or after you had just scored and created momentum for
your team. WE WILL ALSO HAVE ALL PLAYERS TO THE BALL.

Kick Off ReturnI have never used the formation below, but I really feel that this offers a great deal of coverage versus the many various onside kicks that we face on our schedule as well as putting more athletes in positions where they can impact the return game. My philosophy with the return game is too have larger and more athletic players man the front line and the Short player, while my fast and skilled players behind that. Blockers will look for contact and everyone will run at full speed.

Punt TeamLike I previously stated, the punt team is one of the two most important special teams because not only does it offer your opponent an opportunity to score, but it also creates a huge momentum swing and adds to the field position battle. In addition to the formation below, we will incorporate the tight formation and the spread formation as well. I like the protection that the tight formation offers, as well as the versatility of the spread formation. The Punt team needs to have solid protection and solid coverage with all 9 coverage players to the ball, while maintaining their spacing.

Punt Block/ ReturnThe defensive front below offers the coverage against the fake, while also giving the defense the ability to get a great rush on the punter. The punt block and return team will substitute larger slower run defense players with larger athletic defensive ends to aid in the blocking during the return game.

Field Goal/PAT Formation
Field Goal/PAT FormationThe field goal team will understand the importance of protection and awareness when it comes to kicking and releasing off of a “FIRE” call. Our interior line will consist of large and strong linemen that play with a solid base and our ends and wings will consist of players with size, athleticism and hands, which will lend us to looking to our TE’s and FB’s. Along with the formation below, I have found the swinging gate very interesting with many play options off of that because our kickers are normally some or our more athletic kids and usually our starting our back up QB.

Seven Day Schedule Explanation
The first thing you may notice about the practice layout is that our practices are not broken down into 5 minute segments that I would really like to do, but the sideline timer that we use can only be programmed up to 9 periods. If we were to have the funds to buy one of the more expensive timers then we would switch it to a 5 minute segment layout. We only lift 2 days a week due to time restrictions placed on teams in our county because we are only allowed to have one 3 hour practice during the week and the rest of the practices cannot go past 2 hours ... Saturday team time cannot go over 5 hours with only 3 of those hours being of the physical nature; furthermore film study, chalk talks and lifting all count toward your 2 hours of practice time during the week. If we were not constrained by all of these time restrictions, I would have my team lift hard on Mondays and Wednesdays with the recovery circuit on Saturdays. There always needs to be a tackling circuit and a blocking session on the defense and offense days respectively. As for the remainder of the schedule, all of the coaches meetings and team functions are laid out with their obvious explanations.

10 Week Bulletin Board Theme presented by The Staff
1) Concussions2) Hydration and
Nutrition3) Communication4) Responsibility5) Respect
6) Sacrifice7) Integrity8) Honesty and The
Golden Rule9) Accountability10) Empathy
1. Concussions• Training Staff• It is important that the players
know not only the signs of concussions, but what they are, how they can impact their future AND ways to prevent them most of all.
• The bulletin board can show helmet safety, neck and upper body exercises to help reduce head jarring and how to tell a coach that their friend may have a concussion that they are trying to hide.
2. Hydration and Nutrition• Training Staff• Importance and effects of
being hydrated and dehydrated.
• Nutrition during the season is important because of the hours the kids are putting in that some of them skip lunch or they might not find time to eat.
• Eating for weight maintenance is also important.
3. Communication• Coach 1 • Communication is a key component to
football and to life because people will always be playing or working in a team environment.
• Young people often feel very uncomfortable communicating with others whom they are not familiar with and this is another reason to stress the various skills of communication.
• The board should include sending positive and accurate messages, active listening and understanding messages, constructive criticism, receiving praise and recognition and establishing credibility with teammates and coaches.
4. Responsibility• Coach 2• There are many ways to display
responsibility and having a bulletin board dedicated to the many aspects from family to team to life to career can help the athletes see the importance of it.
• Players need to always be reminded of their own personal responsibility and the role they play on a team, which goes towards their accountability.
5. Respect• Coach 3• Respect can go towards many different
areas, but our respect board will focus first on respecting women and parents/guardians, along with people in positions above you, teammates and lastly themselves.
• Players need to see pictures of what music actually portrays and how demeaning and socially unacceptable the lyrics actually are.
• Players know that they are on the most popular team in the school, but they need to be reminded that the respect they portray can have a positive impact on the school body.
6. Sacrifice• Coach 4• Many young people are so caught up in
the instant gratification and having things done for themselves that many need to see what actual sacrifice is.
• To get anywhere a team needs to have players that are willing to sacrifice themselves or their playing time or their position on the team for the good of the team.
• A bulletin board full of athletes, firemen, military, policemen and everyday people can prove to the players that people make sacrifices everyday and the end result is usually successful.
7. Integrity• Coach 6• Integrity is a valuable trait for
all young men and athletes to understand because it is what sportsmanship is all about.
• Young people need to understand that they have moral responsibilities to stand up for others, speak up at in injustices and maintain honesty in everything they do.
8. Honesty and the Golden Rule• Coach 7 • Building off of the previous
week’s theme of Integrity will be Honesty and the Golden Rule.
• Establishing credibility and maintaining trust are key to any successful business or team.
• Players need to be reminded how honesty directly relates to the Golden Rule.
9. Accountability• Coach 8• Maintaining personal
responsibility to the team and the player becomes very important late into the season for a couple reasons.
• Teams succeed more when their player perform their duty and do not go outside of the scheme.
• Academic Eligibility comes into play at the end of the season, so the players need to maintain their grades.
10. Empathy• Coach 9• This may be the last bulletin board
of the season, so the lesson should be one that carries over into life as well.
• Understanding other people or at least realizing why or how another person may act or respond to a situation is important both for the last game and leading into the playoffs or for leading into life.
• Players need to take time to understand why a person may be feeling a certain way about something.
Player’s Role• Play the game for fun• Be gracious when you win and graceful when you lose• Respect and abide by the rules of the game• Put the team ahead of yourself in every situation• Accept decisions made by those in authority• Demonstrate respect for your opponents, coaches and teammates• Be accountable for your own actions• Develop a teachable spirit that allows you to take correction as a
compliment• Accept and embrace the discipline involved in athletics, because it
benefits the team.• Develop a feeling of pride based upon “shared joy” of the team,
and do not have pride that emanates from arrogance or a sense of entitlement.
• Be an athlete of character.
Parent’s Role• Attend as many games as possible• Be a model, not a critic; model appropriate behavior, poise, and confidence• Attend parent group meetings and off season meetings• Do everything possible to make the athletic experience positive for your child
and others• View the game with team goals in mind• Attempt to relieve competitive pressure, not increase it• Encourage multiple-sport participation• Release your children to the coach and the team• Look upon opponents as friends involved in the same experience• Accept the judgment of the officials and coaches; remain in control• Accept the results of each game; do not make excuses• Demonstrate winning and losing with dignity• Dignify mistakes made by athletes who are giving their best effort and
concentration• Be an encourager– encourage athletes to keep their perspective in both
victory and defeat• Be a good listener• Accept the goals, roles, and achievements of your child
