<School> <Mascot>
Program Plan
The model for achieving andsustaining a high level of success in
the <Mascot> football program
The X’s and O’s are the easy part
Fourth and one - go for it.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 2/184
Program vs. Team
• The biggest decision the head coach can make is to treat the
football operations as a program rather than as a team
– That is, to take a long-term view of the football operations and not
look at this next season as the only thing that matters
– When that decision is made, then everything will fall into place
• A football program is like a company in that it has no end point, it
continues long after the people involved today have moved on
– A program can have any number of teams (projects, or seasons), but a
team can belong to only one program – The program has no time limitations and is not bound to any single
time period (season), and the members belong to both the program
and to the specific team(s) within that program
– A program view is that every decision is made for the program and that
there will be multiple teams in multiple seasons, the things we do
today will help us not only in this season, but those seasons that will
follow
• A football team is like a project, something that is done one time,
to meet specific objectives, with a definite end point
– A team view is that everything is for the team we have this season,
nothing else existed before this team, nothing is seen to follow after
this team, the only relationships are those that interact with the team
this season
– We know that there will be teams that follow this year’s team, andthat we honor those teams that came before, but operationally, this
team right now is the only team that matters

Program Plan
Once the decision has been made to be a
program rather than a team, the first order of
business is to begin organizing as a program.
The primary areas to consider include:
• Program goals, objectives, and strategies
– This defines the ‘look and feel’ of the footballprogram
• Infrastructure
– Using the hard and soft infrastructure items to
identify relationships related to the football
program, and then build and enhance those
relationships
• Operations
– How the day to day work of running the football
program will be done

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 4/184
Primary Responsibilities of the Head Coach
• As head coach I am responsible for developing and
communicating the Mission Statement and the Core Values
of the program – These define the overriding principles under which we will
operate the <School> football program
• Once I have established the Mission Statement and Core
Values, I will then develop my vision for the team in these
areas: – On the field
• Goals and expectations for the team for wins and losses, league,
section, state
• What I see for the offense, defense, special teams, team attitude
– Off the field
• What the players do when they are not playing/in-season
– Stands
• What the stands will be like – full, crazy, band, student section,
talking, excitement
– Classroom
• Expectations for the players as students
– Community
• Community service, working with parents, family, vendors, localbusinesses, school staff and administration, Booster’s

Mission Statement
Football offers tangible benefits to a young man because it requires
him to develop will-power, self-control, clear thinking under pressure,
memory, sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and helps in the
formation of good habits.
Participate
The <mascot> football program will bring student athletes together
and enable each player to grow and mature by emphasizing the
following actions in every aspect of the program:
• We will build confidence, self-esteem, and a feeling of contribution within each person in our program
• We will encourage open and honest communication from all
program members
• We will respect the dignity and diversity of each person on the
program
• We will commit to program unity through strong leadership
principles and trust in each other
• We will acknowledge our Core Values each and every day
It is the mission of the <Mascot> football program to create an
environment where each player will have the opportunity to play a part
in these actions each day, recognize the benefits, and prepare him to
be successful after <School>.

Core Values
oyalty When you have loyalty, your words and deeds match each other. To
me loyalty includes values like honesty, integrity, and
trustworthiness. When the players take the field I have to trust
them that they will do everything in their power to perform their
assigned task. Conversely, they have to trust that the staff and I are
also doing everything we can to enable them, and the team, to besuccessful.
ourage The personal strength that enables a leader to handle fear, make
difficult decisions, take risks, confront change, accept responsibility
and be self reliant.
eadership Although there are some exceptions, leaders are made, not born.
By developing leadership abilities in the players it will make us a
better team. The more we invest in developing team leaders, the
greater our return.
elf-sacrifice A team cannot be successful if players think just of themselves.When the players see the needs of others as importantly as they
see they own needs they can truly begin to reach out to others
around them. One of the constants in leadership is sacrifice which
an ongoing process and not a one-time payment. Sacrifice is the
loss of the right to think about yourself. As responsibilities increase
rights decrease.
erseverance No matter how hard a task is, perseverance shows that you have
the persistence necessary to succeed. The willingness to continue
working toward something after the fun has left is dependent on
the attitude of the player. Our attitude cannot stop our feelings, bu
they can keep our feelings from stopping us.

PROGRAM GOALS
If no one laughs at your dreams, you're not dreaming
big enough.
If you're not going to make your dreams epic, why
bother to dream at all?
Scott Miller – Song "Say Ho"

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 8/184
Vision to Reality
• The implementation of the vision
statement(s) will not happen by wishing, it
takes hard work, by a lot of people, in a lot
of areas, to achieve program success
• For the hard work to be effective it requires
substantial planning every year – Strategic planning is the formal consideration of
an organization's future course necessary to
support the program vision. All strategic planning
deals with at three key questions:
• "What do we do?"• "For whom do we do it?"
• "How do we excel?“
• The result of the yearly planning will be the
goals, objectives, and strategies for
successfully achieving the vision
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 9/184
Definitions
• The language of planning is full of specialized terms.
However the largest/highest importance definitions are the
following which identify the boundaries for the Goals,Objectives, and Strategies:
• Goals vs. Objectives
– Goals are broad; objectives are narrow
– Goals are general intentions; objectives are precise
– Goals are intangible; objectives are tangible
– Goals are abstract; objectives are concrete
– Goals can't be validated as is; objectives can be validated
• Goals – Goals are defined as all-encompassing statements
about the general direction of the football program.
Actions must be taken in order to reach Goals. Actions
must be evaluated to gauge Goal accomplishment.
– Objectives – Objectives are defined as methods for attaining
the football program Goals. Good objectives are S.M.A.R.T.:
specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-related
(Drucker, 1954). An Objective can be achieved through one or
more Strategies. A Goal will likely have several objectives.• Strategies – Strategies are defined as means for achieving a
specific Objective. These are the transition from vision to plan to
action. Strategies represent projects or initiatives designed to
reach Objectives and to attain Goal(s). Strategies describe
complex program functions involving multiple teams, coaches,
and/or school departments. Strategies are reviewed and revised
yearly. There may be multiple Strategies to meet an objective.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 10/184
Planning the Plan
• Initial steps
– Decide to use a formal process for the planning
– Decide how to plan the plan – Use the Program
Plan as the foundation
– Decide on a viable time frame, 3-5 years as an
example
– Once the commitment to use a formal process,
and a schedule is set, then start planning the plan
• Program Plan
– Use the “Is – Later – How” chart/concept as the
model – Perform the “Is” review
• Define the areas
• Define the 1st level components of each area
– Develop the Vision and Goals (V&G) – this sets the
path for everything else – Develop the “Later” goals and objectives for the
components, compare to the V&G
• If doing something does not support the V&G then
it should not be done
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 11/184
Is – Later – How Model
• A) Is – Analyze the capabilities, functions, operations, etc., to
determine the true current situation• B) Later – Based on what the current situation is, determine the
next state, the improvement, the new configuration of the
capabilities
• C) How – After the current state and the desired state are
determined, then and only then, do you start figuring out how to
move from A to B
– Most of the time people charge off on the How without having a clear
end point in sight, long before the Later has been determined. Working
in this fashion can expend a lot of time and energy without ever
reaching a clear end point.
– Avoid that trap, set the end state and then determine how to move
from A to B – don’t start at A, start working and doing things, and then
see where we end up.
A) Is
B) Later
C) How

Overview of Strategies
• Strategies are those things that we will act
upon, the tasks that we will work on to meet
the objectives
• Where we see an “Strategy A” we will
basically see a block of work, or task, or
actions that will need to be completed tosupport the program goals
• A strategy will require
– Time (when it will be done)
– Task (what is to be done)
– Talent (who will do it)
• A project is a grouping of similar strategies
so that there are not a lot of closely relatedactivities going on
– A project will have several strategies grouped
together
– A strategy with either stand by itself as a discreet
activity, or will be part of a project

NOTE
Everything listed from here
on for the goals, objectives,
and strategies is just an
example, these may or may
not be valid for your
program. These would need
to be redone for your program based on your
vision. These are just one
possible configuration and should not be considered
the only way to go on this.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 14/184
Areas for Program Goals
• Since the <Mascot> football program interacts with
so many aspects of the school, the goals for the
program should go farther than just wins and losses – The program can reasonably expect to have
approximately 4%-7% of the total school population
(~2,000, 80-140) players each season
– If we include cheerleading, band, clubs working snack
shack, administration, staff, teachers, etc., the impact
to the school will be substantial and will interact with awide range of the school operations
• To support this wider set of interests the goals are
divided into the following areas:
– GMAP (God/Omnipotent Being, Motherhood, & ApplePie)
• Those program goals that are not specific to any one area
of the program, but are generally considered to be good
things to accomplish
– Football
• Goals that are specific to the football operations – Academic
• Goals that support the educational aspects of the
program
– Community
• Goals for building relationships with the community
including the parents, general area, and the students andstaff at <School>

“X” indicates that there is some relationship between the program goal (1-13) and the Objectives. This relationship may be
major point of the objective (and associated strategies), or it may be weaker relationship. It just means that I think there is
ssible interaction here.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 32/184
Project: Loyalty Program
escription: Initiate the <Mascot> Loyalty Program.
Rationale: The loyalty program will be used as a method of measuring,
assessing, and increasing the dedication and loyalty each player
has to the football program, the academics, and the community.
Outcome: An operating leadership council that has provided real, thought-
out input to the 20xx program goals
Evaluation: June, 20xx, after school is out for the summer.
Notes: These would be repeated as necessary to cover all of the program
goals. The strategies shown here are a small portion of the overa
Loyalty Program. Refer to the Loyalty Program file/presentation f
complete details.
No. Strategies Affected and/or Incorporated
Player leadership council
Establish the player leadership council to form the base for
developing the players into leaders.
Player input on 20xx program goals
Present the program goals to the players and actively seek their
input.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 33/184
Project: On-Field Football Goals
escription: Formally identify, document, and use on-field specific objectives
for the season
Rationale: Develop goals, with the players, that are “real” in that they are
used to measure performance and not just as wall-slogans
Outcome: Visible criteria by which to measure team performance
Evaluation: December, 20xx, after the season is over
Notes:
No. Strategies Affected and/or Incorporated
Work with the players (leadership council?) to develop realistic
performance measures for the games and season. These can be
re-evaluated prior to the start of the season.
Put the goals for each game up on a board in the team room so
that the performance against the goals is visible to everyone
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 34/184
Project: On-Field Football Goals
escription: Full integration of video operations into all levels of the program
Rationale: ‘The eye in the sky doesn’t lie’ is the primary truth, the players an
coaches cannot argue with what they see on the video.

Project: Promote <Mascot> Football
escription: Build solid, loyal relationships with the extended <School>
community
Rationale: The players and coaches are one branch of the program family
tree. The parents, staff, community members, and students are
the other branches. To have a successful program we must involvas many people as we can in our “family”.
Outcome: A tighter, larger, and more loyal community family than just the
parents of the players
Evaluation: End of each grading period (quarter).
Notes:
No. Strategies Affected and/or Incorporated
“Teacher(s) of the Week” Involve teachers and staff by presenting a team jersey to the
teacher(s) that are selected by the team leaders. The teachers/staff are asked to wear
the jersey on game days and attend the games.
Games are Events. Do whatever we can to make the games the event of the week. Use
victory bell, get a tunnel, setup a student section, sing the school fight song after eachgame.
Pre-season involvement. Before the season have a <Color1> vs. <Color2> Game betwe
freshmen and JV, have a parent meeting before the game with a BBQ, lots of activities
like taking pictures of younger kids in HS uniforms. Have Football 101 classes for the
parents, show the game videos sometime during the week following the game.
Community wide pep rallies. For big games, and homecoming only.
Stag Night. Golf outing/card games with players’ dads. Get’s the dads on our side as we
Adopt a Player. Elementary and Jr. HS classrooms adopt a player for the season.
Build media relations. Contact the local media and establish cordial relations. Invite the
to the fall scrimmage(s). Provide them with team materials like rosters and highlight
videos.
Support other teams. Get all the players to attend the games of other teams. Such as t
whole team dressing in <School> gear and going to the away <Team2> - <School>
basketball game. Ask the other teams to all come to a specific game (“<Color1> Out”).

practices from behind the line of scrimmage. This view is essentia
for improving player coaching.Review expected operations and determine if there is any
additional equipment that would benefit the coaches, staff or
players. This would include player uniforms, equipment, padding,
helmets, computer technology, projection systems, seating, etc.

Loyalty Program
• A method of measuring, assessing, and increasing the
dedication and loyalty each player has to the football
program, the academics, and the community
• The goal of the football program is to build better
individuals, not just focus on the football aspect
– Program focuses on the total person
– Promotes citizenship, good grades, supports other sports and
community service
• The Loyalty Program will support this goal by measuring
and reinforcing the player activity and participation
– The program begins with the start of the second semester
each year (return from Christmas break)
– The coaches and leadership council will set criteria, andpoints, in a number of different areas
• The criteria are not just football specific and includes academics,
community, and football
– The players are drafted into squads and compete with each
other, individually and as squads
– During the school year the players (and squads) score points
by completing/meeting these criteria
– Points needed (“standard”) are compared to points earned
• Player does not play in scrimmage/game until points needed is
met

Financial Overview
• Napoleon once said that an army travels on
it’s belly – The same can pretty much be said
of a football program, it operates on the
monies that flows through the program
• Like any high school sports program the
football team will have inventory, expenses,income, items that have to be replaced,
none of which are possible without careful
financial management
• It is the responsibility of the head coach to
implement a financial control system that
will work effectively with the following
areas:
– Financial interactions with <School>
– Budget
– Inventory
– Fundraisers

Financial Interactions with <School>
• At <School> the district does not fully fund the
football program
– They provide no additional funding other than a setamount each season for safety equipment
– These funds that are normally used to purchase new
helmets and shoulder pads, and get helmets
reconditioned
– The Pay to Play fee is used by the district to pay the
coaching stipends
• Other than those items, the school district provides
no other direct funding
• That means that the football program is responsible
for managing their financial operations
• Activity Approvals
– All fundraising activities require the approval of the
school administration
– There are forms that are required for each activity and
an approval process that they must process through
– This approval takes a bit of time so last-minute
fundraising activities are not likely to get through

Soft Infrastructure
• Soft infrastructure includes both physical assets such
as highly specialized buildings and equipment, as well
as non-physical assets such as the body of rules andregulations governing the various systems, the
financing of these systems, as well as the systems
and organizations by which highly skilled and
specialized professionals are trained, advance in their
careers by acquiring experience, and are disciplined if
required by professional associations (professional
training, accreditation and discipline)
• Unlike hard infrastructure, the essence of soft
infrastructure is the delivery of specialized services to
people. Unlike much of the service sector of theeconomy, the delivery of those services depend on
highly developed systems and large specialized
facilities or institutions that share many of the
characteristics of hard infrastructure.
– Governance infrastructure – Economic infrastructure
– Social infrastructure
– Cultural, sports and recreational infrastructure
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan

institutions, the payment system, exchanges, the money supply,
financial regulations, as well as accounting standards and regulations – Major business logistics facilities and systems, including warehouses as
well as warehousing and shipping management systems
– Manufacturing infrastructure, including industrial parks and special
economic zones, mines and processing plants for basic materials used
as inputs in industry, specialized energy, transportation and water
infrastructure used by industry, plus the public safety, zoning and
environmental laws and regulations that govern and limit industrial
activity, and standards organizations – Agricultural, forestry and fisheries infrastructure, including specialized
food and livestock transportation and storage facilities, major feedlots,
agricultural price support systems (including agricultural insurance),
agricultural health standards, food inspection, experimental farms and
agricultural research centers and schools, the system of licensing and
quota management, enforcement systems against poaching, forest
wardens, and fire fighting

Notes
• You can’t have a championship-level program unless
all aspects of the game are accounted for.
– The kicking, passing, running, tackling, it has to be a fullpackage
– That doesn’t happen overnight, it has to be grown
– Special players will certainly help, and may often cover
weaknesses in the program, but they are not the norm,
the only way to a championship team each year is to
build a program
• Only run the Midline Trap, no need for any other trap
• Good defense plays fast – must know what to do and
have confidence in the assignment. The offense
causes problems by introducing variability. Option
does this as does motions and formations. Make the
defense question what they are supposed to do and
the offense gains an advantage.

Why have a leadership program?
• Leaders are made, not born.
• Very few role models exist today.
• It makes us a better team.
• The more we INVEST, the greater our return.

Influence
• List 3 people that have influenced you or
that you have followed.
• Leaders touch the heart before they ask for
a hand.
• PEOPLE BUY INTO THE LEADER FIRST, THEN
INTO THE LEADERS VISION.
• If you consider the messenger to be
credible, then you believe the message has
value. People want to go along with people
they get along with.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 112/184
Integrity
• When you have integrity, your words and
deeds match each other.
• A person with integrity does not have
divided loyalties, have anything to hide,
have anything to fear, or have to pretend to
be something that they are not.
• A person with integrity does have a single-
mindedness in purpose, have the glue to
keep what they say, think, and do into awhole person so that there are never out of
sync with each other.
• Our beliefs and talk match each other.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 113/184
Communication
• The ability to communicate effectively is an
indispensable requirement of sound
leadership.
• Two main components, speaking and
listening.
• Be specific, get to the point, choose your
words carefully, and stress a positive before
addressing a negative.
• The greatest attribute of a leader is the
ability to listen.
• Watch the speaker, be patient as you listen,and ask questions to clarify the meaning
being relayed.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 114/184
Attitude
• Single greatest reason for failure.
• People are fired for the following reasons.
Incompetence 30%, Inability to get along
17%, Dishonesty 12%, Negative attitude
10%, Lack of Motivation 7%, Refusal to
follow instructions 7%, Other reasons 8%.
• Incompetence is skill related, the rest are
attitude related.
• Out attitude cannot stop our feelings, but
they can keep our feelings from stopping us.
• It is improbable that a person with a badattitude can continuously be a success.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 115/184
Courageous
• Courage is present in every great leader.
• Leadership courage is more than single acts
of bravery.
• Leadership courage is the personal strength
that enables a leader to handle fear, make
difficult decisions, take risks, confront
change, accept responsibility, and be self
reliant.
• Courage enables you to follow your instincts
and pursue our vision.
• As a leader, courage is not something youpurse, it is something you embody.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 116/184
Sacrifice
• The constant in leadership is sacrifice, an
ongoing process, not a one time payment.
Sacrifice is the loss of the right to think
about yourself. As responsibilities increase,
rights decrease.
• President of the United States
• Martin Luther King Jr.
• THE GREATER LEVEL OF LEADERSHIP ONE
WANTS TO REACH, THE GREATER THE
SACRIFICES THEY HAVE TO MAKE.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 117/184
Goals
• We must have end plan.
• You can not build a house without knowing
what kind of a house you want.
• For us to be conference champions, what do
we need to do 1 month from now, 1 week
from now, and 1 day from now.
• Must think about what happens day to day.
• Our overall MISSION.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 118/184
Servanthood
• Servanthood is the essence of teamwork.
• When we see the needs of others as
importantly as we see our own needs we
can truly begin to reach out to others
around us.
• Self interest and selfishness breed
dissension and alienation among the team.
• What is in it for me?
• What can I contribute?
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 119/184
Vision
• “The soul never thinks without a picture.”
Aristotle
• Passion, Motivation, Direction, and Purpose
• WITHOUT VISION GOOD THINGS WILL
HINDER YOU FROM ACHIEVING THE BEST
THINGS
• Vision is the difference between filling dirt
bags and building a dike in order to save a
town. Building a dike gives meaning to the
chore of filling bags with dirt. In our case
winning a conference championship gives
meaning to lifting weights.
• Vision gives significance to the otherwise
meaningless details in our life.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 120/184
Perseverance
• Perseverance is one of the most important
positive habits of life.
• Perseverance demonstrates work ethic.
• Perseverance not only lets you get your
work done, it shows that you will do
everything necessary to reach our goals.
• No matter how hard a task is, perseverance
shows that you have the persistence
necessary to succeed.

Leadership Pyramid
Personhood
Teammates follow you because of who you are and what you stand for.
It is seniors who have been committed to the program and servant
leadership for years. Few make it to this level, but those who do are
legendary.
Personal Investment
Teammates follow you because you have personally invested in them.
You put relationship ahead of winning. You put team ahead of yourself.
Putting other people ahead of yourself.
This is where the true team is built.
Production
Teammates follow you because you produce on the field. This is where
success is sensed by your teammates. You must master your position
and your scheme. Carry out your assignments to perfection
Permission
Teammates follow you because they want to. Teammates will follow
you because you are a senior or a captain. Getting to know your
teammates on a personal level
Position
Teammates follow you because they have to. Teammates will follow
you because you are a co-captain. They don’t know you or what you
stand for.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 122/184
Recognition
• There are a number of recognition awards
available
• The companies market an individual
leadership plaque, along with a perpetual
plaque that replicates the individual award
but has places for yearly recipients
• That would probably be a good way to go –
give the recipient an individual award and
then put his picture on the perpetual plaque
• That would establish a long-term position on
the importance of the leadership
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 123/184
Torch Bearer Award
• Leadership award to the team member who
shows the most dedication to the team
mission statement, team vision statement,
and team leadership core values.
• Who ever controls the locker room controls
the team.
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 124/184
Pregame Music
• Have each of the groups put together a pre-
game CD
– For each home game we have (this year 5 of
them) I divide the Varsity up into 5 groups.
– Each group is responsible for making a 45 minute
pre-game music CD under the following criteria:
• No swear words or profanity
• Must contain one AC/DC song, one Van Halen Song
• Any other music of their team's choice
– Kids love doing it.

Platoon
ve a team roster of sufficient size and ability so that the team can be split into a full defensive team and
l offensive team. Coaches would coach their side of the ball, very few players (objective is none) would
y both ways. Special teams would come from the full roster.
Consideration Costs/Cons Benefits/Pros
ayers
e key is to have enough players
split the team and have
serves at each spot. Initial
ought is that 35 would be
solute minimum, >45 would be
timal.
• Number of players to implement
this is hard to attain
• If it doesn’t work then all the
effort to get the numbers is lost
• May have the numbers but must
also have the skills. Most teams
need at least 18 good players to
be competitive.
• More players on the field, mo
opportunity to play, more
players come out
• Players are fresher in 4th quart
achese coaches would need to
ecialize in a position
• May have to put a coach in aposition that he does not like or
want to coach
• Coach would be able to focus a smaller set of players and giv
them more attention
• He would have a specific set o
skills to sharpen
ayer Specialization
yers are expected to choose
eir position by the summer
fore their junior year.
• Should good players be
specializing, especially in HS
• The players would focus on th
position and become very goo
at that position
actice
e offense and defense would,
r the most part, practice on
ferent sides of the field.
• Team unity may be hurt if the
only time the squads meet is for
scrimmage – a competitive
situation
• Coaches get to run their side o
the ball and do what they nee
for the full practice time
• Longer time for each side of th
ball
• May be able to reduce the
practice time and still get the
work done
erall/Other • Team identity may suffer
• May develop into Us vs. Them
mentality if one side is not
performing well
• May have problems with
implementing – how many
losses are acceptable before this
starts to work
• Gate – More friends and famil
in the stands

• Let them know we care for them outside
football.
Be involved in the players lives. They do not
care how much we know until they know
how much we care.
• Help other programs in your school.You never know when they might push a kid
our way in return.
• Get all school staff on board.Make them all excited about our program.
• LOVE THE GAME.
It shows!
• Ask successful coaches what they do.
You never know “everything”. It never hurts
to see what works for others.

• Always, ALWAYS, talk “WE” and "OUR".
Eliminate “I” and “Me” from your vocabulary.
• Always be COACHING.
Weight room, Plyos, Speed work, Practice,
Games...all are places for us to have an impact on our
players, IF you take the time to do so.
• Make all kids feel as though they are important to the
team.
Starters and non-starters alike, they are part of our
family.
• Be good to our volunteers.
They make our job easier!
• Be humble.
Always take the responsibility in a loss, always givethe credit away to the kids in a win.
• Be good to the media.
They can make us look really good, or really bad.

Promoting Football at Bret Harte
• Do anything you can to help them.
They work hard for you, work hard for them. Go the “extra
mile”. Be willing to commit your time to making them better
while you have them. Help them find a place to play after
they are done playing for you if they have the desire to play
college ball.
• Highlight VideosPlayers and parents love them.
• Let the coaches coach.
Happy assistants will do a GREAT job of helping you build a
program, promoting the program etc. If you do not let
them coach, they will not be happy.
• Eliminate all the things that are not important to the
program. (Addition by subtraction) Concentrate on drills
and skills that are vital to what we do. Eliminate the ones
that are time wasters.
• Establish an “IDENTITY” in all phases of the game.
Offensively find a system we like, that we can sell, and that
we can COACH (on the run if need be). Defensively find a
defense that we can make adjustments on the fly with and
sell it to the kids. Special Teams are VITAL, we must
establish some kind of identity in all phases and aspects of
the game.

elementary teacher, and football mom in my
school. Might want to check to see that all
elementary teachers wish to be involved.)
• Community wide Pep Rallies
For big games, and homecoming only.
• Stag NightGolf outing/card games with players’ dads.
Get’s the dads on your side as well.

• It’s a football family
• Build a football dynasty
• Games become an event, Friday Night Lights
• Build men of character
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 175/184
How to Implement the Vision
• Loyalty Program
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 176/184
Football Family
• Each family has different parts, all working
toward the same thing
– The team is the same – number of separate
entities that are working toward a common goal
• Keep friends close
• Be decisive in action
• Absolutely loyal
– Every Wed they gather all 3 levels and each HChands out a Loyalty t-shirt to most deserving
player at each level
– Varsity players are Big Brothers to freshmen
players
• Card with 5 questions – Varsity player has to talkwith the freshmen to answer the questions
• Matched by positions
• Keep things in the family
– Loose lips cause problems
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 177/184
His Vision – Dynasty
• Priority for success:
– Defense
• Spend ½ of practice time on defense
– Run the ball
– Special teams – work for field position
– No turnovers – field position and morale
– Weight room• Weights are changing, getting much more specific.
• Emphasis on core work
– Teach tackling
• Teaches in shorts and t’s
• Real measure of how well coached the team is – Adjust to personnel each season
– Discipline
• Discipline Drill (Speckman) – A get-off drill that
requires mental discipline
– Identify and work with the core group
• Train everyone, but there will always be a core
group that are the team leaders
– Loyalty Meetings
• Wed after practice, all 3 levels. Reward loyalty to
the team
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 178/184
His Vision – Games are Events
• Do whatever you can to make the games the
event of the week
– Victory bell
– Tunnel
– Student section
– Sing school fight song after each game
– Green-White (Blue/white) Game• Between freshmen and JV
• Parent meeting before
• BBQ, lots of activities
• Pictures of younger kids in HS uniforms
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 179/184
His Vision – Character
• A player with character is
– On time
– Dependable
– Loyal
• What does the last string player say about the
coach and staff?
• Dungee – Treat everyone fair, but don’t treat
everyone the same
– Not everyone has the same conditions so things
that work on John won’t work on Tim
– Works with others
• Community service
– Hard working – Leadership meeting with players
• Talk about other players, aspirations, goals
– His word means something
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 180/184
His Vision – Leadership
• View of leadership has changed
• Players do what they see, not what they
hear
– Very often they have no male role model
• Staff – usually very little respect given
• Must teach players how to lead
• Positional Power vs. Relational Power
– Positional based on job title
– Relational based on building relationships with
others. How to build relationships?
• Care about others
• Talking with them
• Going to other sport’s games
• Weight room – Sr’s with Frosh
• Swim Party’s
• Dinners
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 181/184
Ideas
• Get teachers involved
– For home games players give their white jersey to
a teacher and ask them to come to the game
– Contact the teachers, make yourself known, and
ask for feedback on the players
• Good stuff as well as bad
• Program Perception
– Take an honest look at the program and then
add/change it
• Ex: no profanity
– Enhancing perception of the team• Former players come back to talk to the team
• Coaches preach it in training
• T-shirts
• Jumping jacks – We-Will-Hit-You
• Slogans on walls• Phrase kids that walk it

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 182/184
Why The Spread (Blue)
• It is a hybrid formation
– Combination of the flexbone and the Run and
Shoot
• Gives the offense the capability, by
alignment, to stretch a defense
– Vertical - 4 quick receivers – Horizontal - 2 wide receivers
• This dictates a balanced response from the
defense
– Cannot gang up on the run game
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 183/184
Players
• Fullback (B-back)
– Aligns with heels 5-yards from tip of ball
– Lines directly behind the QB
– Not a wishbone fullback, but a tailback
• Solid inside runner
• Perimeter runner
7/29/2019 020 Program Plan
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/020-program-plan 184/184
Team Rules
• No profanity
– Swearing does not make you a man
– It is the sign of a weak mind
– You won’t be able to swear after starting work,
why do you think you should be able to do so
now?
• No explicit lyric in weight room or locker
