One of the biggest areas that coaches neglect is football coaching psychology. Read below for great suggestions from Aaron and Christopher for coaching football information.
From Aaron,
I have always found that the most important thing that a football player can hear is their name.
Take the time to learn each and every one of your football player’s name. A great way to accomplish this is during your team jog or warm-ups have the first player say their name and something that you do not know about them. Have the next player in line say the name of the player in front of them and what they learned about the first player.
Continue through the whole line have each player say the name and the one thing that they learned about each player in front of them. Obviously the last player in line will have to remember the most information making his job the most difficult so make sure that you change the order of players regularly.
From Christopher
We can do football drills and practice all day, but I have found that the short one-on-one talks with young kids about their progress makes the biggest difference. So remember, if you are coaching a younger team it is just as important to know your kids and how they tick as it is to know the game of football itself.
