Coach Park @CoachKPark from North Crowley @NorthCro_FB talking about the steps to move up to the OC position. Less than 10% of college OC are O-Line coaches. Thats a crazy stat that needs to change.

🙏🏼Love it!!
Selfish coaches: • Boss others around • Micromanage • Blame others • Look to be served • See themselves as being above others SERVANT coaches: • Lead by example • Empower others • Take accountability • Selflessly serve others • Know that we’re all in this together

Often asked question, “If we run an uptempo offense, don’t we need tons of conditioning?” This is counterintuitive but bear with me. I get this question a lot. Also get, “I coach at a small school, we have multiple 2-way players, don’t they need more conditioning?” Answer is no to both. Put your money on energy (no fatigue), speed (max velocity), health (the grind causes injuries), and enthusiasm (love is a powerful drug). Let practice condition players. Be patient. Practice at game speed or “game speed plus”. To do this, practice in “clusters” of intensity followed by full recovery. Aka “Wave Theory”. Practice uptempo by running 5-10 plays, followed by coaching up your team during the recovery time. Never let practice volumes exceed 50-60% of game volume. Let the game be the hard. Enter games fast and healthy (with fully charged batteries). (And make sure your uptempo makes the defense work twice as hard as the offense!) Just like FTC training for the 400 meters, you can train for the 400 without ever running more than a 200 if you sprint at race speeds on a foundation of recovery. store.simplifaster.com/produ…

Wanna know how great you are after a win? • Ask your girlfriend. Wanna know how “cool” you are after you skipped class, got high at a party, and were too drunk to remember driving home? • Ask your “friend”. Wanna know the TRUTH about yourself? • Ask your coach!

#CoachingTip As high school or college coaches we live football. It’s our jobs, professions and careers. Our players may love football, but they don’t live it, because they have other responsibilities and interest as student athletes. Don’t make schemes so complicated your players can’t learn or execute them. No matter how smart or talented players are, they invest no where near the time you do as a coach. It’s not about how smart you are or what you know, it’s about what they can learn and execute. #Ap2w

No kid showed up today and said “I can’t wait to piss of coach and do everything wrong.” Stop screaming at them and figure out where the communication breakdown is happening and fix it. It might just be you. That is called coaching.
