We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

We’ve unfortunately all been there… the 4th Quarter starts and our best 11 have their hands on their knees and are too exhausted to perform up to the standard. It’s cost many coaches a game or two, but there is a way to prevent it from ever happening again.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the more modern approaches to getting your players in shape for the season, how to condition in practice, keeping things from getting too tyrannical, and how to hold your player accountable so they’ll want to be in shape in the 4th.

Conditioning Players in Practice

  • Most Coaches say they want to maintain a fast pace in practice, but when things aren’t going perfect most will stop practice to correct errors
  • Defaulting to a slow paced “standing around” practice is more common than we want to admit
  • You have to plan to have a fast paced practice

Condition Players without Being an Old School Tyrant

  • Someone on the team has to be the “let’s go” coach
  • Two-a-days are out, so we’re missing some conditioning there
  • You owe it to your team to understand the new science/methods to getting your players in shape

Push Players to WANT to Be Prepared for the 4th Quarter

  • Players HAVE to do what is required of them to make things work
  • Teach, encourage, and expect them to hydrate, eat well, sleep well, acclimate to the heat, etc
