We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

We often hear, “Your players won’t be as passionate and committed as you are.” What we don’t hear as often is that your coaches may not be on your level either. Sometimes you’re going to get a guy, or multiple guys, that you have to win games with, but may not be on the same level of football coaching as you.

On this episode Joe and Daniel are discussing ways to prevent the feeling of coaching alone. They discuss the need to develop your philosophy and systems, communicating with your staff, and getting buy-in from everyone in the program.

Develop Your Philosophy and Systems

  • Feeling like your coaching alone may show up as you being a “football junkie” that’s surrounded by guys that aren’t investing in the profession.
  • Whether you’re a HC, Asst Coach, Youth Coach… you can feel like others aren’t pulling their weight.
  • You can quickly become exhausted by trying to lead guys to a football craving lifestyle like you live.
  • “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

Communicate with Your Coaching Staff

  • You have to find ways to communicate WHAT you want, and HOW you want it… QUICKLY!
  • Be able to get a coach who often can’t be around, to be productive on the fly.
  • Your philosophy contains a lot of things, communicating them thoroughly helps prevent a lot of friction points.
  • Communicate how things need to be done every day/week, and what tools you’re using to get them done

Get Buy-In From the Entire Coaching Staff

  • You may not have a “point of authority” with the coaches on your staff. You need to show them WHY your philosophy is what it is.
  • Consistency is the key.
