I got the inspiration for this football coaching tip from one of my subscribers. It includes some fresh ideas on coaching football. Try it out and let me know what you think!
From William…
I love competition & want to instill this into each & every day with each & every football player we coach. So, we like to challenge our players to compete…even in off-season…& even against us as football coaches (meaning, if our players complete a task/football drill as directed w/o an error, we as a staff will exercise (pull-ups/push-ups).
We recently did this football drill using 30 players at one time.
1. Place 3 players inside a circle of players. Each inner-circle player is holding a medicine ball (b/t 10-12 lbs.). These players have to throw their ball to one player on the outer ring, calling their name first & maintaining a “two point” stance. In fact, every player has to maintain this position throughout the drill. Any player not maintaining 2 point stance will be deemed in “error” with push-ups or core-work of some sort as a repercussion.
2. The outer ring players have four weights (either dumbbells or plates or both) intermittently throughout themselves (we alternated weights of either a weight ending in a 5 (ie; 25 lbs.) or a 0 (ie; 30 lbs. dumbbell).
3. The “5’s” were to move to our players left (hand off to each other)…moving between each player on the outer ring (while still looking for the med. ball coming from the three on the inner ring).
4. With the “0’s” moving to our right… doing the same as the “5.”
5. The players need to work together at not dropping anything as the weights & balls move to each & every player. If a drop occurs, then the team will do 5 -10 push ups per “error.”
6. If the team has no errors, then the coach running the drill will exercises… ie, pull-ups or push-ups.
