Thoughts on Team-building
Not “if,” it’s “when” – show confidence for players in order to inspire confidence in themLove your playersTeam pledge/core values – “We” statements; what we (coaches & players) believe∙“We promise to…”-- take responsibility for
action and inaction
-- no regrets, no excusesStory night – everyone tells their life story; creates bond among all…
Spread Shotgun
Advantages:∙force defense to defend the width & depth of the field∙create more 1-on-1 situations for more RAC (run-after-catch) opportunities∙can see the blitz coming or it must come from a distance∙easier to read coverage∙QB separation from LOSDisadvantages:∙lose lead back running game∙QB eyes must be on shotgun snap, affects ability to read coverage∙2 open-side offensive tackles with no help∙defense can always outnumber – need options, hots, sight reads in the offense∙QB must be a viable run threat
QB Development
Characteristics looking for in QB recruit:1)mental characteristics2)performance characteristics3)physical characteristicsskill development:∙drop step – when under center; clearing step to get foot out of way of center ∙weight transfer – start with line thru hips aimed at receiver, finish with belly button aimed atreceiver; “overframe” the target by moving front foot wider during throw, moving fromclosed stance to open stanceBellotti 2008, p.1
