Spring is in the air and even though the school year may be winding down, football coaches across the US are starting to ramp up for our second season of practice. This represents the opportunity to refresh the fundamentals of your program with your athletes so that they continue to improve as football players. This also gives coaches another method of player evaluation in order to field their most competitive team possible in the fall.
Practicing football without the pressure of preparing for an upcoming opponent, gives coaches time to truly teach the ins and outs of their position and the offense or defense to their athletes. It also provides the athletes the opportunity to exhibit their gains in speed and strength from a productive off-season in order to earn playing time under the Friday Night Lights. What a great way to end the school year!
I look forward to seeing how my offensive linemen have grown stronger and if they are ready to assume leadership roles on the team. I have high expectations for them as I expect to see 18 days of dominance from them against whoever lines up across from them. Our field preparation for the 2015 season has begun!
On another note, you might notice the role call missing from the slideshow. As the chat has grown, we now have at least 100 coaches participating each week. That is awesome and so exciting for our profession! That also means that there would be 100 slides of coaches introducing themselves. I feel that ends up getting in the way of what people read the archive for, and that is the information that is being shared. Now the Storify will get right into the chat. I hope this makes the archive a better experience for you. I am always open to suggestions, so please feel free to let me know what you think!
Thank you for your part in helping #txhsfbchat become an outstanding place to grow professionally and expand your coaching PLN!
