Subject: 5 Things for Football Coaches This Week
Date: August 15, 2026
Big week. You’ve been busy.
Nearly every high school has started practice. Scrimmages are starting. A few states are already playing games this week.
With everything going on, you might miss something important. One nugget that could win a football game for you.
Hopefully you’re taking a little break this weekend. Take a few seconds to scan this week’s messages and see if any of it needs a second look…
- The week started with a recap of the goofy Maxx Crosby vs Kirk Cousins incident. Then we talked about building your Depth Chart System.
- Staying with systems talk, Tuesday was focused on practice planning. Your Practice Plan System is a system unto itself, nested in a bigger system.
- Within your systems, there is One Big Mistake you must avoid. If I had to pick one thing that separates our most successful JDFB coaches from the rest… this is it.
- All the hard work you are putting in right now… is it worth it? Sure, winning feels great. But at what cost? Don't make this season a Pyrrhic Victory.
- The new podcast on Defensive Line Drills released this week. No fancy equipment needed. Get those drills.
