INTRODUCTION
The game of football is the greatest game for teaching life lessons. It develops positive
characteristics that are valuable throughout life such as teamwork, integrity,
commitment, dedication, selflessness and perseverance. The objective of our program
is to provide an INCREDIBLE high school experience such that ALL
(coaches/players/support staff) become better people as a result of being around the
game. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to be around many quality
men over the years and this manual is certainly a reflection on those that have
mentored me and given me their time. These men have had a tremendous impact on
me as a coach.
I would like to thank each coach involved in the Beaumont High School Football
program for his commitment and dedication making our program a success. We are
fortunate to have a solid group of coaches who are making a tremendous impact on the
lives of young men. As the head football coach, I pledge to continually strive to help
each person associated with our team to reach his goals and objectives. I believe the
essence of any relationship (personal or professional) is based on trust and I will
endeavor to earn and maintain yours.
The Beaumont High School Coaches Manual is intended to serve as a guide for the
coaching staff to follow. As coaches we must ensure that we are serving as positive
role models for our student athletes. If we expect them to do the "right thing" so must
we. Our general principles as a staff should always remain of paramount importance.
These are:
• To prepare our players to be outstanding members of society and make

positive contributions towards our community.
• To positively impact Beaumont High, the Beaumont Unified School District
and our community.
• To prepare our athletes for success on the field.
• To protect and enhance the physical welfare of every individual involved with
our football program.
The influence you have on young people's lives is tremendous. They are going to
emulate you. They are going to look up to you if they can trust you, if they know you are
committed, and they know you care about them.

JEFF STEINBERG COACHING & LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY
MISSION
Our Football Program will develop outstanding young men who will display excellence on the
field, in the classroom and around the community.
The overall athletic and academic experience in high school is something that cannot be replicated
in most other areas of life. Being a student athlete provides the opportunity to develop characteristics
that are essential to be successful in life. Football is the ultimate team sport and because of the
nature of the sport there are tremendous opportunities to teach our young men lessons about life.
Our football staff will take pride and consideration in working with each of our young men so that they
can develop their full potential academically, athletically and socially. Our athletes will have every
opportunity to do well in the classroom. The CIF Southern Section has mandated that all student
athletes maintain a 2.0 Grade Point Average. Student athletes in our football program that are near
or below this GPA will be provided opportunities to work with peer tutors, get extra help from teachers
and have coaches assist them with time management. We will work as a program to establish a 3.0
GPA in the classroom.
Our football players will also be expected to perform well on the field. They will be taught skills
that will help them be successful and our coaches will push them to develop to their potential as
athletes and as a team.
Lastly, it is very important for our players to be leaders in the community. Our football program
through initiatives in community outreach and character development with our players will help our
student athletes develop into tremendous young men who are doing positive things in the community.
VISION
Beaumont High School will be recognized as a top football program in the state of California.
Football is a great opportunity to tie the community together with the high school. The culture of
our community appreciates good high school programs. Football is important in this regard. It brings
many different groups together so that our community is on display. Cheerleaders, dance, hip hop,
marching band, color guard and our booster organization are all on display any given Friday night in
the fall. It is important for our football program to be successful in all we do so that there is pride in
representing each other. The community will support great TEAMS when they have successful
seasons however great PROGRAMS are something that everyone will always be proud to be a part
of. It is very important that we create and edge in all we do whether it is strength training, our
schemes we run or our character development program. Part of the edge is basing our program on
what the top programs (high school and college) around the country are doing. Coaches in our
program will be on the cutting edge in all we do. The off season is a great opportunity for our staff to
clinic and visit with other college and high school staffs to see the latest trends and new
developments. Most of the edge is in the why and how we do things. We must attempt to work
harder and smarter each day. It is extremely important that we work to do things on a level that’s
never been done before. Cutting Edge in all we do.
In order for our program to reach that level everyone involved with the program must have a
vested interest. Coaches, players, parents, boosters, administration and the community must see
themselves as stakeholders in our success. It is my responsibility as the Head Football Coach to
energize, inspire, educate and lead each group so they see and value their role in the program.
CORE VALUES
1. Develop High Moral Behavior
Specifically, honesty, respect and caring. All great relationships are built on this. When
people are concerned with being honest with themselves and to others and to show consideration
and respect for other people it is very easy to develop outstanding relationships. Developing great
relationships should always be at the forefront in order to accomplish tremendous things whether it is
in business, marriage, friendships or athletic teams.
2. Academic Excellence
Be the best student you can be. Pay attention in class. Review all lessons. Be prepared for
all assignments and tests. It is important to stay on top of your studies and ensure that you are
managing your time wisely as a student athlete. At some point competitive athletics will come to an
end. Recent statistics through the NCAA have shown that less than 1% of all high school seniors
playing sports will receive a full athletic scholarship and eventually have a career in professional
sports. Your academics will take you through life and afford you more opportunities than athletics
ever could.
3. Athletic Excellence through Competition
Competition with others in all we do. True athletes understand the importance of competition
and that the only way to reach our potential and find out about ourselves is through competition. All
great teams respect their opponents because they understand that playing at your potential and
learning about yourself as a man can only be accomplished when your opponent brings out the best
in you. Athletic excellence through competition should also be evident during practice opportunities.
Our teammates help challenge and inspire us by allowing ourselves to compete to the best of our
abilities on a daily basis. Most importantly it is imperative that athletes understand that the best form
of competition is competing with yourself. Working to outdo yesterday’s efforts and results will make
us better.
PERSONAL LEADERSHIP STYLE
My leadership style is a Transformational Leader. Gary Halverson who wrote the “Coaching to
Change Lives” Program noted the importance of coaches to be leaders due to the vast number of
people that they could have an impact on. As a high school coach, it is very important to understand
the effect you can have not only on your players but the school and community as well. Transforming
those in your program to be better than they were yesterday is so inspiring. Players do come back
and visit after they graduate. Rarely do they come back and thank you for teaching them the skills
they mastered on the field or helping them win games. In most cases when they do come back they
will remember the life lessons you taught them and how you challenged them to be better men.
The one thing we all have in common is our love for the game of football. This serves as a great
opportunity to bring young men together to teach them lessons about life. I have and will always put
my athletes and coaches at the forefront. It’s my role as a coach to lead them and inspire them to do
great things in life. My goal is to run a program that has its main objective to developing outstanding
young men.

1 Program…1 Goal…1 Step At A Time

Cougars Football
Take Care of IT
In our football program we will talk about taking care of IT in all areas. What is IT that
we are talking about?
On Offense IT is being a precise scoring machine.
On Defense IT is relentlessly pursuing the football & getting it back.
On Special Teams IT is making game changing plays
In our Strength & Conditioning Program IT is building better athletes.
In the Classroom IT is preparing for success in life.
In the Community IT is being a leader off the field.
In working with our Players IT is…Creating Dynamic Relationships with all student
athletes in our program.
In our Program IT is…United As One……This comes from caring about each

other (relationships/communication), & honesty (truth)
These are our core philosophies.

THE ROLE OF THE COACH
1. Never lose track of the fact that the young people we work with are students first and athletes
second. Ensure that each one of your athletes understands that we care about them personally,
their academic success & have high expectations for them as young men.
2. Remember that coaching is teaching. We should strive to maintain a classroom decorum.

a. Praise loudly, criticize softly.
b. Avoid the use of profanity.
c. Never put hands on a player in anger.
3. Base our program on a positive attitude and approach. Show your enthusiasm! Let your
enthusiasm rub off on others.
4. Promote unity and cohesiveness among the coaches - Oneness. This will carry over to the
players.
5. Each coach must demand a great deal of himself but must be actively concerned with the team's
physical condition and mental and emotional attitudes.
6. Winning is not everything; but making the effort to win is

a. Strive for excellence; demand that everything be done to the fullest extent of one's
ability.
b. Set goals that are high yet realistic.
7. All of our student athletes should be better people for having been through our program.
Our program is for the people playing now; not to develop college or pro players. Every young
person who goes through our program should enjoy his experience and look back with great
memories and pride.
8. The total staff should re-evaluate all phases of our program during the off season each year and
re-define our collective philosophy with any modifications we feel warranted.
9. Each coach involved in our program must have a genuine love for football and what it can do for
the young people.
10. Preparation leads to success. If we are to be successful, we must take all the steps necessary in
leading up to the game, so we put our athletes in the best position for success come game day.
NEVER THINK THAT THE PLAYERS ARE "PLAYING FOR YOU". THEY MAY PLAY INSPITE OF
YOU BUT ONCE THEY GET ON THE FIELD THEY ARE TRYING TO SURVIVE. THIS DOESN'T
MEAN THAT WE DON'T TRY TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE YOUNG MEN AND
HELP TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR LIVES.
BILL WILLIAMS
EXPECTATION OF ASSISTANT COACHES
In hiring assistant coaches, the following are required:

1. Beyond passionate about working with our youth. They understand our youth and get inspired in
helping them become better people.
2. Loyal to the head coach’s vision of the program and are incredible about helping sell that vision
both verbally and non-verbally to those they come in contact with.
3. Are experts at what they coach.
The following is expected of coaches on our staff:
1. To be loyal to me to our players in all areas.
2. To be honest!
3. To provide leadership and training necessary to achieve our team and personal goals.
4. To work players harder than they have ever worked before so players will have an opportunity to
reach the high goals set on and off the field. Our expectations of players athletically, academically
and socially may be higher than some parents. You are expected to coach EVERY rep at practice.
This requires that you are correcting or re-enforcing.
5. To assist our athletes in any way possible now and after graduation.
6. To treat our players as a young man and to love and respect them.
7. To make all decisions predicted on what is best for the team and then what is best for the
individual. The team will always come before the individual. We will put players at positions where
they will help the team succeed. When basing our decisions we will always choose team before
individuals.
8. To do everything within our power to make Beaumont High School an exemplary place to go to
school and play football.
9. To help each young man in our program mature and grow as a man.
10. To help each athlete reach their goals. Every player is involved in goal setting (personal and
team). Once goals are established the staff develops a plan for the team & individuals to facilitate
success. We constantly go back and recheck our goals. Part of learning how to be committed &
developing important skills for later in life is to hold players accountable to their goals.
I expect the following from each member of our staff:
To be the very best classroom teacher on & off the field coach that you can be. Incorporate the use
of classroom (chalk talk, power point, video) in teaching our athletes. Ensure you are on the cutting
edge of the latest techniques and teaching progressions.
Avoid the use of profanity and never allow our players to.
Don’t worry about what your fellow coaches are doing. Just do your job and do it well. Don’t keep
score. It is not your job as an assistant coach to be concerned with what other coaches are or are
not doing on the field.
To be on time for all staff meetings and practices. Your time is valuable and so is mine. Make sure
to be early and organized for all staff meetings & practices so we may begin on time. You should
always have a pen/pencil and notepad handy for meetings.
To be a positive role model for our athletes & Beaumont High. Sell our program in a way that we are
viewed as having a top program & staff by others. Defend the program when you hear negative
comments with regards to football or Beaumont High School.
To do everything you can do to develop a winning attitude in our players.
To study and work hard to make yourself a great coach. Educational growth is a must for any coach
in order to maintain, sustain and develop new innovative ways of coaching, new teaching techniques,
and better ways to improve teaching. I will discuss with each coach in our program an off season
development program. I expect that each off-season coaches will find ways to improve his teaching
progressions, drills & knowledge of schemes.
To be professional in attitude, responses, work and personal appearance. Take pride in each thing
that you do. I expect this in the way you handle delegated duties, planning & coaching. Coaches will
receive gear. Do not wear anything other than Beaumont High gear (or colors). Do not wear apparel
that represent other teams.
Never involve your spouse in the coaching situation in a negative manner. It will be hard for your wife
to support you coaching if she continually hears about any negatives associated with our program. If
you see something that is a contradiction to what we believe in or something that needs be
addressed bring it to my attention.
To be sincerely interested in the success of our players and other members of the coaching staff.
Never give up on a player. He can always change and likely will if given the chance by you. It is
not an assistant coach’s role to tell me to get rid of a player. I will decide when a player is to be
removed from the program. Coaches should always be looking for ways that will help a player
become a better person. I am looking for solutions through our assistant coaches.
To be positive and never doubt that we will be successful. This means being 100% loyal to the
program.
To be loyal. Any coach that is badmouthing other coaches or the program will be dismissed.
To be creative and have the ability to think on your own and apply gained knowledge of the game.
Learn as much as you can by talking to the experts.
To be on the same page with each other when taking the practice or game field. Never take your
disagreements to practice. Do not use the practice field to discuss schemes or strategy changes.
This should be done in the coach’s office.
Don’t get complacent as the season goes on. Don’t let the little things slide in the discipline of our
players. These will lead to bad habits.
Have a plan for everything. Be organized. Do not waste a moment during practice.
Do not choose favorites. Work with every player on the squad. Be more demanding on 1st team
players & athletes in positions of leadership.
Always be optimistic & energetic. I expect that every coach will come to practice with great
enthusiasm. This is not an expectation placed on the head coach or a few assistants. In order to
assume the leadership of the program I expect the coaches to set the tone in practice. Setting the
tone begins with each coach bringing great enthusiasm on a daily basis.
The coaches will provide the leadership for our program. Do not assume players will take on this
responsibility. I expect the coaches to set the tone in the way we practice & prepare for games.
Responsibility is placed entirely on the coaches throughout the week with regards to getting our team
ready to play.
In order to be successful there are 3 key factors:
1. TRUST - The players must trust the coaches, the coaches must trust the players and the
players must trust each other. This is created by being honest and transparent with each other
and with our players. Players will not simply follow direction because you are “the coach”.
Trust must be built and that takes considerable time and effort.
2. WORK ETHIC MUST MEET OR EXCEED THE EXPECTATIONS - The EFFORT from ALL
must meet or exceed the expectations.
3. SELFLESS MEMBERS – Success requires everyone to be unselfish.
BEAUMONT COUGARS
FOOTBALL
EXCELLING AT WHAT YOU DO
What are the characteristics of people who excel at what they do? There are 5 traits of those who
make it to the top:
1. PEOPLE WHO EXCEL WORK WITH ENTHUSIASM. Emerson once said, "Nothing great has
ever been accomplished without enthusiasm. Regardless of whether the job is big or small, give
it your best." Great performers give their best effort, no matter what the size of the audience.
2. PEOPLE WHO EXCEL SHARPEN THEIR SKILLS. They never stop developing… growing…
learning... improving. "If the ax is dull, and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but
skill will bring success." (Ecclesiastics 10:10) It takes more than desire to excel, it takes skill!
Remember - you're never wasting time when you are sharpening your "ax".
3. PEOPLE WHO EXCEL KEEP THEIR WORD. They are reliable. They can be counted on to do
what they say they'll do. So they excel because people of integrity are rare in our society.
Reliability beats talent in the long run.
4. PEOPLE WHO EXCEL MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. Even under pressure...or
change...or unrealistic demands, they don't allow themselves to become negative.
Complainers never excel at anything except complaining.
5. PEOPLE WHO EXCEL DO MORE THAN IS EXPECTED. This is a secret that every
successful person has discovered. You'll never excel by only doing what is required - the
bare minimum.
Oscar Hammerstein told a story of seeing the top of the head of the Statue of Liberty up close from a
helicopter. What impressed him was the incredible detail the artist had sculpted on an area of the
statue that the artist never expected anyone to see. The artist had no idea man would someday fly
above his statue!
When you are tempted to cut corners and you think "No one will ever know."
Remember, we live in a knowledge-based society, and knowledge in every field is doubling

approximately every seven years. This means that you must double your knowledge in your field
every seven years just to stay even. You're already 'maxed out' at your current level of knowledge
and skill. You've reached the ceiling in your career with your current talents and abilities. If you want
to go faster and farther, you must get back to work and begin to prepare yourself for greater heights.
You must put aside the newspaper, turn off the television, politely excuse yourself from aimless
socializing and get back to working on yourself.
A great quote is provided by Abraham Lincoln with regards to preparation. It was a statement he
made when he was a young lawyer in Springfield, Illinois. He said, 'I will study and prepare myself,
and someday my chance will come. If you study and prepare yourself, your chance will come as well.
There is nothing that you cannot accomplish if you'll invest the effort to get yourself ready for the
success that you desire. And there is nothing that can stop you but your own lack of preparation.
DRESS FOR SUCCESS DURING THE SEASON & THE OFF SEASON
Coaches are expected to dress appropriately at all times (practice, 7 on 7, clinics, parent meetings &
games). All coaches will be provided with practice wear and game day attire. It is important to
represent our program in a professional manner. Any hats worn should have our logo on it and be
worn properly. Proper footwear must always be worn. Coaches should never come to practice
dressed in other school colors or fan wear which represents other teams. We will look professional
during games. Coaches will be provided with a game day polo, khakis and Nike shoes. In inclement
weather we will wear fleece jackets or rain gear.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Off Season is our time to improve individually and collectively as a staff. My objective is to help each
coach on our staff work towards their goal as a football coach. We will have coaches that come
through our program with aspirations of moving up in the program, gaining coordinator positions or
eventually becoming head coaches. In order for us to become better we will take advantage of off-
season professional development opportunities. As a staff we will attend coaching clinics each year
in addition to conducting school visitations to research and study specific areas. I will make all
decisions on the staff in-services/clinics we will attend. There are also endless resources available
on the internet in which study can be done at home. Make use of these resources. Coaches that are
negligent in regards to professional development will not be in a position to help our staff reach our
goals and will ultimately be replaced. All professional development that will be paid for by the
boosters or football accounts must be cleared with me in order to get funding. Funding will not be
given to coaches if a trip is not pre-approved.
STRENGTH TRAINING
Our Football Program has established a year-round approach to strength training, speed work and
conditioning. It has been instrumental in our success as a result of developing both physical strength
and mental toughness in our athletes. Olympic lifts are incorporated into each strength training
session. All coaches that take part in the weight room will need to be familiar with the teaching
progressions and safety considerations. It’s important to become an EXPERT in the weight room.
Never teach a lift that you are unfamiliar with. Coaches should be active in the weight room and use
the same mentality regarding teaching as on the field. All coaches will be expected to
attend/supervise strength training sessions. Coaches should understand the principles of strength
training which are:
1. Ground-Based Activities - Sport skills are initiated by applying force against the ground. The
more force an athlete can apply against the ground, the faster they will run, and the more
effective they will be. Our program for strength training selects lifting exercises and conditioning
drills that emphasize the athlete applying force with their feet against the ground.
2. Multiple Joint Exercises - Sport skills require multiple-joint actions (triple joint movements)
timed in the proper neuromuscular recruitment patterns. Without this, the athlete has no
coordination or ability to generate explosive force. Our training programs incorporate exercises
and drills involving multiple-joint actions to improve athletic performance. Isolating on single-joint
actions might work to improve appearance, but have no effect on athletic performance.
3. Three Dimensional Movements - Sport skills involve movements in the three planes of space
simultaneously: forward, backward, up, down, and from side to side. We have selected exercises
which focus on improving functional strength with exercises approximating these skills. Our
programs utilize free weight exercises to simulate movements in three dimensions
simultaneously. This makes the transfer of strength and power easier to merge with the
development of sport skills. This cannot be accomplished by using machines.
4. Train Explosively - The amount of force required for a given activity is regulated by the use of
different types of muscle fibers found in the body. Fast twitch fibers have the ability to generate
much more force than slow twitch fibers. Because of this, most athletes need to be concerned
with utilizing a training program that will focus on this need. Our athletes perform exercises where
they must train explosively with free weights to allow more fast twitch muscle fibers to be
recruited, which improves athletic ability.
5. Progressive Overload - The load or amount of weight lifted for each exercise is the most
fundamental component of a strength-training program. The application of the load has a crucial
impact on maximizing performance and keeping injuries to a minimum. Overload happens when
the body responds to training loads greater than normal. This causes the muscle tissue to
breakdown. The body then adapts by compensating through the development of more strength or
endurance. Each day our coaching staff calculates the amount of weight each athlete should use
to ensure each athlete is continually overloading the muscle throughout the program.
6. Application of Periodization - Training programs need to be broken down into various cycles.
These cycles represent different combinations of volume and intensity, each translating into
different responses by the body. Our training program is in 8 week blocks where players go from
high volume / low intensity to low volume / high intensity.
7. Split Routine - The Cougars Football program utilizes a 4-day per week weight training program
during the off season & a 3-day per week weight training program in season. This is a very
efficient and widely used principle in stimulating gains. During the 4 day program we will utilize 2
days to work on Pushing Exercises & 2 days to work on Pulling & Leg Exercises. Olympic type
lifts will be incorporated each workout.
8. Hard / Easy System - You make more progress over longer periods of time if you do not work at
maximum loads during each workout. The hard/easy system eliminates overtraining and mental
burnout. This is accomplished by the exercises that have been selected for each workout. This
method helps allow athletes to be both physically and mentally prepared as the workout loads
increase over the course of the training program.
9. Specificity of Training - The primary objective of conditioning is to improve the energy capacity
of an athlete to improve performance. When specificity is applied to conditioning, it refers to
training the same as you play in competition. The athlete's success will be largely dependent on
speed, power, and agility. We are training for movement when we are in the weight room. As a
result athletes become Bigger, Stronger and Faster. We also incorporate a speed development
program that utilizes drills and activities that involve speed, power, agility, which translate into
increases in sport performance.
10. Interval Training - Our strength and speed development program is based on interval training
principles. Interval training is work, or exercise, followed by a prescribed rest interval. A common
error is not getting enough rest. If not enough rest is given, the amount of energy is not sufficient
to meet the demands of the next intensity effort and force production will be reduced. Football
requires athletes to work at maximum effort for an average of 7 seconds followed by
approximately a 30 - 45 second rest. We attempt to create this situation in our training.
PARENT MEETINGS
In order to for our players to develop as responsible young men, players are expected to
communicate with the coaches. Our staff and players communicate on a variety of matters
(academic, athletic, personal). Meetings are generally held between the coaches and players.
Players will have questions at various times and are strongly encouraged to communicate to the
coaches so the lines of communication are always open. Coaches are responsible to ensure that
they are working to keep the lines of communication open with our athletes. Parents may request
meetings at times (or coaches with parents) but the protocol will be as follows: meetings with
parents are only held after a player and coach have met and a situation was unable to be
resolved. Should a meeting warrant an appointment will be made. The athlete will be present with
his parent in addition to Coach Steinberg, an assistant and Athletic Director. Coaches are expected
to notify me when they meet with a parent. Never meet with a parent that has not scheduled a
meeting (unless it is an emergency situation). One of the most common misconceptions from parents
is the fear of their son being made an example of as a result of a parent meeting. Coaches are
competitive and want to win. All things being equal, the best players are on the field. Players are
never held out to spite a parent.
FOOTBALL OFFICE
The telephone number to our football office is (951)739-5600 x2041. We have a large staff with
coaches using the office before and after practice in addition to meetings with players and parents
throughout the year. The office is to be kept clean and personal items should be stored away. Do
not leave the office a mess when you leave. The door to the office should always be locked when the
last person leaves. Ensure that you check the door is secure upon leaving. Upon leaving the football
facility after practice ensure that locker rooms, weight room, training room are all secured.

PHILOSOPHY OF PRACTICE
1. Practice is EVERYTHING. The game is won as a result of great practices and

thorough preparation during the week.
2. Be properly dressed and on time for all practices and meetings
3. Do not stand around and relax during early outs, walk thru, etc. It is all important or
we would not be doing it. This is an opportunity to work with your players. Use
every opportunity that we have to make our players better.
4. The only factor all schools have in common is time. We must get more done (reps)
in the time we have. Ensure that drills are set and prepared beforehand. Our
managers will know how each drill is to be prepared. Take advantage of their
presence. Be organized & energetic.
5. Give attention to every player on the team. Do not allow any player to go unnoticed.
6. Do not allow things to lay around in the dressing room. Everything has a proper
place. Create PRIDE in everything we do. This will rub off on our players.
7. Be available for players, coaches following each practice.

8. Do not accept anything less than perfection. Do not overlook anything.
9. HUSTLE - Enthusiasm breeds enthusiasm. Remember, that work at every level,

both yours and the player's will have some drudgery. Make a conscious effort to
keep your enthusiasm high. When we are on the field we will create a sense of
urgency by being on the hop physically and verbally.
10. Keep your poise and confidence on the field or any place. It will transmit to your
players.
11. Remember that players do not care how much you know, until they know how much
you care.
If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend six

sharpening my ax.
Abraham Lincoln
SOME GREAT POINTS OF EMPHASIS ON TEAMWORK
1. Teamwork is the sure short cut to a good season in sports - the difference between
a mediocre and a real champion.
2. Teamwork teaches people to sacrifice personal feelings in the interest of the group -
his teammates. It's a quality not for showboats or big heads.
3. Teamwork makes for execution in a team - something fans enjoy watching;

something they'll back and support.
4. Teamwork upsets the best-laid plans of opponents. They can stop an individual
star, but can't uncover a scheme to stop a group of players working as a team.
5. An ant by itself seems to be an insignificant insect, but as a horde it terrifies even a

giant elephant. So does a well-balanced team working in unison.
6. The player sitting out a game on the bench is as important in a good team as one in
action on the field. For it is his rooting, his enthusiasm that makes the players on the
field fight all the harder.
7. When facing adversity or defeat there is nothing more assuring than athletes pulling
together in a common cause. It may not always win ball games, but it does make for
lifelong friendships and memories.
8. Teamwork requires self-control and self-discipline - elements good athletes must

possess to make for a winning team and season.
9. Although teamwork accomplishes victories, it is essential to ward off bitterness of

defeat - by group determination to practice plays and conditioning that much harder
to assure future wins.
10. Teamwork between coach and players - between children and parents - between
students and teacher depend on respect for one another, a common goal, ability to
make sacrifices, loyalty and trust.
TEAMWORK - "Work done by a number of associates, all subordinating personal

prominence to the efficiency of the whole."
Webster's Dictionary
COACHES RESPONSIBILITIES DURING THE SEASON
As a coaching staff, our function is to educate our athletes in order to provide them with
the tools to be successful football players and contributing members of society. All
coaches in our football program will have in season and off season responsibilities.
Four areas of responsibility for our coaching staff during the competitive season will
involve:
§ Game plan/game preparation

§ Player preparation (practice)
§ Player performance evaluation
§ Duties as assigned by Coach Steinberg
Game Plan Preparation
All coaches will be involved in the development of game plans. Early in the week we
will have coaches meetings, which will be devoted to the development of "preliminary"
game plans. All coaches will provide input and feedback. There will also be a brief
meeting the day prior to a game to clarify modifications made throughout the week
(landmarks, use of special plays, special "D", etc.). We will meet on Saturdays as a
staff to break down our upcoming opponent. Sundays will be on a need to basis.
Player Preparation
1. Early Outs - this segment of practice performs a variety of functions, all of which
must be executed at a very low intensity. The position coach is responsible for
directing activities from the following:
- every day drills
- low intensity learning of new skills
- system/game plan clarification (question & answer)
- walk & talk
- preview practice
2. Position Warm Ups Ups – this is a position specific warm up period where the
players do movement drills associated with their position. The focus is on both
quantity and quality of reps.
3. Position skills period (Individual, Group, Crossover) - this is the most critical period
for the position coach. It is during this time that the coach exerts the most influence
on his athletes; the time when he actually teaches them the skills they need to
execute effectively. How the position coach creates this environment is a matter of
individual style. However this environment must be developed and maintained. The
position coach is responsible for the implementation of drills, which will teach the
athletes the skills, and techniques, which are specific to our system. We will attempt
to create game intensity in certain drills. However, intensity should never exceed
quality. ONLY PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
4. Team period - the responsibility of the coach during this time period is to focus on
the execution of his particular unit. The purpose of this period in practice is to co-
ordinate the various units to ensure we are executing effectively as a team. Position
coaches must work to ensure that practice keeps moving and that we maximize our
repetitions. The only time a position coach may intervene in a manner, which will
slow the practice down, is when there has been an assignment error which must be
corrected. Position coaches are encouraged to provide constant feedback to their
players in a manner which does not slow things down. This can be done as the
player/players are on their way back to the huddle, or, if necessary, the individual
may be removed from the scrimmage.
Player Performance Evaluation
Each coach will be responsible for providing each of his athletes with a game
performance evaluation. The evaluation may be verbal or written. However, it is
important that we critique all players in a manner that is positive and intends on
assisting the player to improve. I expect coaches to have individual, group & team
periods filmed throughout the year in order to keep learning motivation high in addition
to properly evaluating players.
In Season Duties
Coach Steinberg will delegate duties within our staff during the season.

DESIGNING & IMPLEMENTING EFFECTIVE DRILLS
Athletes learn best by doing; they obtain skills through repetition. Therefore, drills are
the most effective tools the position coach has at his disposal. A coach's ingenuity and
creativity are best used in designing drills which will teach his athletes the skills they
need to perform in competitive situations. During the off season our staff will use time
to review the drills we use in order to determine their effectiveness. Additionally,
through clinics, etc. we will have the opportunity to design and add new drills.
Designing Drills
1. Assess Needs - Start by compiling a list of fundamental skills required playing the
position. Area coaches will complete a comprehensive list of skills his athletes will
need to know in order to execute the system. Many skills are fundamental to the
position while other skills are unique to very specific plays and situations. All,
however, must be drilled and learned. We must make sure there are drills in place
to teach each of the skills.
2. Name the Drill - Each drill must be named. This is essential in ensuring effective
communication when discussing the drill with staff and players.
3. Be Specific - Each drill must teach a skill, or part of a skill, required by the system.
We must ensure that we know what the specific purpose of the drill is and that the
drill is accomplishing its purpose.
4. Be Focused - Each drill has a specific purpose. While more than one skill may be
involved in the drill, there must be a single focus. Isolate specific skills so the
athletes can concentrate on and learn the relevant task.
5. Maximize Repetitions - The more repetitions which occur for each athlete, the more
learning happens. If the position numbers are large or if each repetition takes a long
time to run, it may be necessary to modify the drill or run it in a way so that more
than one player can perform it at a time. We must also take the flow of the drill into
account. For example, if a ball is being used, make sure there are enough balls
available to keep the drill moving and there is a procedure for getting the balls back
to the point of origin without interrupting the drill.
Implementing the Drill
1. Describe, Name & Explain Why - The first time a coach implements the drill he
should describe the activity and the "coaching points" that will be emphasized. The
name of the drill should be given in addition to why we are doing the drill. This
should only have to be done once.
2. Define the Area - The area being used must be defined - point of origin, direction
you are moving in, the size limitations, etc. Once a repetition is complete it is
important that the athletes know how to get back into line without interfering with the
next repetition.
3. Start Properly - Make sure it is clearly defined how each repetition is to be set in
motion. Whether or not they begin to move on the basis of a verbal cue (snap
count) or a visual cue (move on movement) may be critical to effective preparation
for the actual game situation
4. Provide Constant Feedback - Feedback is necessary if we wish to see improvement

in a particular skill. It is important to do it in a way so we do not interrupt the flow of
the drill. The use of cue words to correct errors must be used as the athletes are
executing each repetition. If they are executing the drill perfectly let’s let them know
it! This is especially important the first time it is done properly.
5. Monitor - Make sure the drill is doing what it is designed to do and make sure it is not
teaching negative habits.
6. Revise if Necessary - If you are experiencing frustration with a particular drill or if

you find that you are constantly interrupting the drill in order to correct inappropriate
behavior, change the drill! REMEMBER, THE DRILL SHOULD BE THE TEACHER.
WORKING WITH YOUR PLAYERS
Player relations during the competitive season have two closely related considerations -
individual considerations and team considerations.
Individual Considerations - "Where do I stand?"
1. You will always be treated fairly.

2. You will not all be treated the same.
3. You will be dealt with honestly and directly.
4. Coaches will accept 50% of the responsibility for the relationship
that exists between each player and us.
Letting individual players know where they stand will eliminate problems later. Each
player will have a clear idea of where he is and what must be done to improve. Our goal
is for each player to reach his potential therefore, we must constantly provide him with
feedback so that he can strive for improvement. Should you ever have to rip into a
player, make sure that you take the time after practice to talk to that player. Each player
involved with our program has a role. Everyone involved with our program is
important to the success of our program.
If an individual's status is uncertain or is about to change for any reason (injury,

academic or performance factors), it is important that he know about it as soon as
possible. Each individual has the right to approach the coaching staff for a clarification
of his status. Players will be told they may do so at any time (with the exception of
game day).
Team Considerations - "What is expected of me?"
Players must know what is expected of them. We will be clear and concise. Prior to the
season players will sign contracts of commitment.
WORKING WITH EACH OTHER
In the area of relations between members of the coaching staff, there are two issues,
which are critically important:
1. We must work hard to achieve open communication between all

members of the coaching staff on all issues which affect our
program in any way.
2. We must be united in our goals and objectives when
decisions are made.
Open Communication - talk to each other - listen to each other.
In order to be an effective coaching staff, open communication is vital. In order for this
to happen, all members of the staff must actively contribute to all discussions and ask
for clarification when necessary. EFFECTIVE, ACCURATE COMMUNICATION IS
DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING AT TIMES - LETS BE PATIENT!
1. It is important to be positive and co-operative in all dealings with fellow staff

members. Remember - we are all working for the same things.
2. If you have difficulty or are uncomfortable with a particular situation, it is up to you to

approach the other staff member involved in order to rectify the situation.
3. Each member of the coaching staff must understand the Chain of Command. The
HC makes all final decisions based on what I feel is best for the program (this
includes schemes). The coordinators will make decisions on schemes. All
discussions involving philosophy or schemes are to be done in the office. Never in
front of the players.
4. Always be sensitive to what the other coach has been teaching. Never contradict or
criticize a technique or drill being taught by another coach in front of the players.
Players are overly sensitive to this type of thing and may wrongly interpret
"dissension" or poor planning and organization.
5. If something is clearly wrong it must be corrected. If it is not urgent, talk to your

fellow coach after practice or take him aside if the opportunity presents itself. If you
must discuss it in front of the players, take a co-operative approach.
6. There will be ample opportunities to make constructive, positive input. The best
place to do this are during coaching staff meetings.

Recovery – The best way to recover on Saturday’s for our players is by resting the body
up. We will not bring players in on the weekend. We work hard during the week and
Saturday’s will be a time for them to recharge the batteries mentally and physically.
Rehabilitation - Any player needing treatment is required to ensure they are taking the
proper measures towards full recovery. Players must report all injuries to staff.
PRACTICE GUIDELINES
Practice time is limited. It is essential that practice time is used effectively and that we do not
waste time. Everyone must be committed to getting as much out of practice as possible. It is
the only chance we have to improve as a team. The following guidelines are designed to
help us practice effectively.
General
Let's ensure that each player is given the opportunity to learn. Any player recovering from
an injury should follow his group and coach around the practice field. Football is a
mental game as much as a physical game. Players should never debate with each other or
their coaches on the field. Discussions are to take place in meetings or in private.
Early Outs/Run-Throughs/Defensive Fit up

This is the segment of practice in which all activities are done at a low intensity. We use this
time to work on skills that need to be improved, make system corrections or insert new plays.
Individual Drills/EDD’s
The emphasis during this time is on the quality of movement, not the intensity. This segment
of practice is when you perfect individual techniques and skills. As players learn to execute
each skill perfectly the intensity will be increased.
One on One
One on one drills are utilized to perfect a player's skills in a competitive situation. The
coaching staff also uses this time to evaluate a player's ability/improvement in competitive
situations.
Walk & Talk/Late Outs

These sessions are utilized when teaching and reviewing assignments. The intensity
progresses from a walk to half speed. Emphasis is on proper alignment, stance and
movement to contact point. Walk & Talk are generally held prior or after practice or during
meeting time.
7 o 7/ Inside Run/Perimeter Run & Pass/Group Drills

These segments are used to practice the pass or run at game speed. The intensity is 100%
with the restriction that no blocking below the waist is allowed. Whistles will be quick. At
times will want to keep contact up (stay off the ground).
Team Drills
The team segment is used to simulate actual game situations. The emphasis is on proper
execution of assignments and timing. Intensity is 100%. Whistles will be quick.
Intensity of Practice
Our levels of intensity are Tag, Thud, Live Bullets. Ensure that players are always aware of
how we should finish on each.

Jeff Steinberg Head Coach Phone (760) 977-1855
Beaumont High School
Beaumont, CA
THIS IS A SAMPLE LETTER TO SENT TO STAFF AT BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL
YEAR.
Dear Teachers,
Welcome back and hopefully you had a refreshing and energizing summer. I would like
to welcome all the new teachers at Beaumont High School. Our players have been
working hard during the summer & are excited about the upcoming season. The
Cougars football theme for the year is "Uncommon". This is the motto for all of our
players in the program to give everything they have towards each other & to do things in
an extraordinary way.
The players have set high expectations for the team in the classroom, on the field and in
the community. The football coaches will help to assist them and guide them in
reaching their goals. All of our young men understand that they will be held
accountable for their conduct and progress in the classroom. I really believe that we
have a great group of kids in the program. There are approximately 140 JV and Varsity
players. The Freshman had over 100 players working out this summer with possibly
more to join.
Please feel free to contact me during the season regarding the progress of our student
athletes. I would like to know about those that are performing real well, those that may
need assistance and those that are not displaying appropriate classroom behavior. I
have also included a list of our coaching staff.

The theme will carry significance throughout the entire week. A possible story will
accompany it on Monday with follow up and discussions the remainder of the week. Friday
will be a day to evaluate the theme. We will work to bring in guest speakers from the
community in addition to using video to help with the themes.

Game 5 – Friendship Game 12 – Team Spirit

The Cougars Way
1. Never underestimate your opponent.
2. Work on your weaknesses until they become your strong points.
3. Remember that great effort is usually the result of a great attitude.
4. Dedicate yourself to a mighty purpose.
5. Win with humility, lose with grace.
6. Ignore those that discourage you.
7. Work to improve your moral and spiritual strengths as well as your
physical ones.
8. Remember that how you conduct yourself off the field is just as important
as how you conduct yourself on the field.
9. Talent is God-given- be humble. Fame is man given- be thankful.
Conceit is self-given- be careful.
10. Don’t ask to be deprived of tension and discipline- these are the tools that
shape success.
11. Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, and as well as it can be
done.
12. Remember that when you’re not working to improve, your competition is.
13. Always give your best.
14. Practice like a champion.

COUGARS FOOTBALL OUTLINE TO SUCCESS

OUR MISSION
Excellence in the CLASSROOM on the FIELD & in the COMMUNITY

We, the 2018 Beaumont Cougars Football Team are a unit of ONE. The Cougars will not fear adversity. We will lay it
on the line & leave it on the field. We will play fast, with a relentless spirit & flawless execution for the entire season.
We are committed to each other ON & OFF the field. In everything we do the TEAM will come first.
DO RIGHT RULE & PROTECT THE PROGRAM

Focus & Do those things that will get you closer to your goals in life. We expect our players to know between right &
wrong and do those things that are going to make their Parents, Coaches, Teammates & School Proud. Protect the
Program entails ensuring you are not doing things to present a negative image of our program or players.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM YOUR COACHES

The Cougars Football Coaching Staff will push you to work harder and smarter than ever before both in the classroom
and on the field. We will hold each player accountable & treat each player with respect & fairly.
PLAYERS COMMITMENT TO OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM

1. I will strive to be the best team player/student athlete I can be (being positive, enthusiastic, giving my
best effort at all times). Being a team player also means not participating in cliques or segmented groups
that deter from the team concept. I will give 100% in everything I do.
2. I will attend all practices/meetings & be on time. Any conflicts that may occur in regards to
practice/meetings will be my responsibility to personally notify my position coach and/or the head coach
prior to the date. Unexcused absences will not be tolerated & result in removal from the program.
3. I will display respect for my teammates, the football program, my coaches, my school and my
community in my actions and comments.
4. I will come prepared to class/study hall/meetings/lifting sessions/practices by being dressed properly

and having the proper equipment/supplies.
5. I will be in the best physical condition when fall practices begin. It is important for me to be physically
prepared so I can enhance my opportunity of remaining injury free and help my team meet it's goals.
6. I will play a positive role in being a Beaumont Cougar Athlete in the way I conduct myself around the
community & on campus. I will be active in communicating with my coaches and teachers. I will do
everything I can to protect our program.
7. I will abide by the codes of conduct & athletic code set out by Beaumont High School and the CIF.
8. I will return all my football gear at the conclusion of the season in a timely manner so it may be
inventoried & necessary repairs be made. I understand I will be financially responsible for any alterations,
lost or stolen football gear.
9. I am aware of the Varsity Lettering Policy

FOOTBALL LETTERING POLICY

Coaches will use the following criterion. In the event a player does not get the minimum amount of playing
time coaches will use 2-6 to determine.
1. Playing time in 4 separate quarters during the season.

2. Varsity Level Strength (700 LB's combined Bench, Squat, Clean)
3. Varsity Participation during practice over the course of a season
4. Varsity Participation during summer practices & competition
5. Coaches recommendation
6. Maintain academic eligibility
DON’T TALK ABOUT IT, BE ABOUT IT

I WILL PERSIST under any circumstances that I will encounter, under the toughest of conditions, even when it seems
to most that I am beaten. My opponents will grow tired because I will not go away. I will continue to answer the
“bell”. I WILL PERSIST!
I WILL GIVE MY ALL. You can count on. I will do whatever I can to contribute. I will be a team player. Nothing will
distract me, my focus or my energy. My effort will always be there. I WILL GIVE MY ALL!
I WILL NOT FLINCH WHEN IT GETS TOUGH or when it gets difficult to see hope or when others seek to separate
us in tough times. I will remain strong in mind and spirit. I will be the best teammate I can be. We are ONE. I WILL
NOT FLINCH.
I AM ABOUT IT. I will never quit working hard on or off the field. I will believe in myself, my team & never stop
believing in the Beaumont Cougars. I am here to the end. My teammates will be able to count on me both on & off
the field. I AM ABOUT IT!
STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT
I agree to abide by the guidelines set forth in the Cougars Football OUTLINE FOR SUCCESS.
