We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

Coaches are constantly looking for ways to get better at making adjustments. It’s game night, the opposing offense is driving, you need to make changes but you can’t install a whole new front right now. What’s the quickest way to make adjustments on the fly, and where do you start anyway?

On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the Levers Principal, how to pull them for improvement, identifying which ones to pull, and how to build practice plans that highlight levers.

Pulling Levers for Constant Improvement

  • ASKA gives the foundation to the Levers Principal
  • As a coach, you need a landmark for what changes you’re making, so you know what you changed and can measure how well it worked

Identifying Lever to Pull

  • ASKA identifies the 4 levers that you can pull at any given time
  • 4 levers per 11 positions… 44 levers to pull on any given play
  • Each lever carries different weight, not all can be changed on a whim

Build Practice Plans Using Levers

  • The focus for the day/week’s practice can be on a Lever
  • Solve your problems from last week with levers
  • You may find a lever is the answer to stopping or scoring on your next opponent.
