Do Your Football Players Even See You?
In today’s world, there is so much more out there to do and see than to play sports. As a population, we stay very busy. Your young players may be busy staring into a phone screen, but this is a direct competitor to anyone trying to teach or coach. You can bet that this is not going to change anytime soon.
When you consider coaching a football team, your first thought might be of you on the football field sharing what you know to players at whatever level you are coaching. That’s part of it but there is so much more to it. Youth football and flag football coaches often do not realize this.
You’re going to find yourself spending hours getting ready for practice. This will be the case if you are coaching 8-9 year olds or high school football players. You will be tempted to cut corners. Our plays and playbook don’t have to look THAT good do they? After all they are just kids.
This is where you should go back to the beginning of this blog and read it again. If you ask your players’ attention to focus on some black and white play drawing that even you barely understand, you and your players are going to struggle.
