Many thanks to those who helped us on our journey including Tim Peterson, Stacy Bell, Jay Smith, Kevin Justice, Tom Osborne, Turner Gill, Ken Niumatalolo, Marine Lieutenant Colonel David DiEungenio, Tony Holland, Jeff Miret, Ron Jennings, the Spirit of Faith Warriors and my wonderful and supportive wife Tina. Many thanks to many of our players parents who were patient with us in those early years when we were still stumbling around and trying to figure this all out. All glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Imparting these tools to youth coaches nationwide is my passion and mission. Many people thing sports teach character, they are wrong, look at Tiger Woods, Lawrence Taylor or Pete Rose. Motivated character driven coaches impart character, develop team chemistry to bring teams together and build a sense of purpose and confidence in their players. Sports in of themselves do not. It’s up to us as coach leaders to determine if we are willing to impart those life lessons or not. It’s up to us to determine if we are going to bring teams together and motivate them or not, the ball is in our court. Dave Cisar Copyright 2011 Cisar Management, all rights reserved 6 Chapter 1 Why Do You Coach? Many youth football coaches decide to coach for a myriad of reasons, some just love the game, maybe their son is playing, and sometimes they just want the kids to have a great experience. Others coach because they like competition or sometimes it’s because no one else would take the job. It doesn’t matter how you get there, it matters what you do once you are there. We all like to win, most coaches that are involved in youth football are former athletes, and love competition. When we compete, we play to win. But what makes a winning team? Is it athletes and x’s and o’s? It is motivation and effort? It is practice organization and priorities? Is it great special teams and defense? Is it team “chemistry”? If your whole motivation is developing a winning team - what happens if they don’t win? Have you failed? Now don’t put me in that box of coaches who think in youth football you should play everyone the exact same amount of time, hand out participation trophies, not keep score and hold hands with the opposition drinking juice boxes and singing Kumbaya after each game. I think you can play everyone (different amounts), have fun, teach great fundamentals, be great sports AND win; these are not mutually exclusive goals. I know that coaching is important, it is the difference maker in youth football. While x’s and o’s are important it’s what’s under the helmet that determines if a team is going to excel of not. The byproduct of doing all of those things well are teams that play well enough to deserve to win most games. When You Don’t Win But what happens when that perfect storm hits? What happens the year your top Quarterback tears up his knee in game 1, your second team Quarterback breaks his arm riding his skateboard before game 2, your top lineman has to move before game 3, your stud linebacker gets set aside for grade issues before game 3, your top Running Back (who is also your best Corner) tells you before game 4 that he can’t play anymore because his dad has been transferred to a prison that is 300 miles away and the only day he can visit is also the same day you play your games? This all happens to a team who was designated to play in the “B” League and sent all it’s best players to the “A” team only to find out there weren’t enough teams to form a “B” league and you would be Copyright 2011 Cisar Management, all rights reserved 7 forced along with just 1 other “B” team to play in a 12 team “A” league. You have just 19 players with just 1 “striped” player and will face a number of teams with 25-40 players, 6-8 stripers and 3-4 players over 200 lbs. Since you fielded what you thought was a “B” team your team of 13-14 year olds also includes a set of 78 lb twins playing their first year and last year of football and could easily be confused for kids you see in those late night commercials for “Feeding the Children.” It happens, it happened to me and it could happen to you. I might add the entire coaching staff of this team quit 2 days before their first game, more on that team later. How do you bring together a team of misfits or better yet, what can you do to keep them together, have a decent football experience and make it to the end of the season when it is doubtful they will win many games? You do it through developing team chemistry, character and a winning attitude. Character Teams Excel If you have coached for more than 10 years, think back to your best season. In most cases it wasn’t the year you had that magic mix of athletic players, it was the year you took some average kids or even weaker players and molded them into something special. Some people refer to this as a team with “chemistry”; great teams have “it”. They play together, they never give up, they are selfless, they effort, they overcome great obstacles, they are coachable, they do the details, they are disciplined, they are confident and they are encouraging. How many times have you seen absolutely amazing looking big athletic teams fail? You see it all the time in youth football, every week in leagues all over the US. In fact in 2007 I watched an entire season of DVDs from my friend Kevin Justice’s Pop Warner team from Jupiter, Florida. They went 11-1 and in all but 2 of those games I’m sure Kevin could have easily taken the other team and beaten his own team with them by big scores. The difference was “it.” Kevin’s teams had “it” and the teams he was playing didn’t. Championship teams are also built on the foundation blocks of great character. How many championship teams have you seen that couldn’t come back once they fell behind by a score or two? How many championship teams have you seen where the players were arguing amongst themselves or lost control during a game? How many championship teams have you seen that were undisciplined in their responsibilities? What about confidence, how many championship teams do you know that come into games quaking in their cleats? Do championship teams have kids who criticize their teammates or coaches? Do championship teams have players who turn a deaf ear to their coaches? Not in any of the leagues I’ve had teams. In 2009 and 2010 I went to the AYF and Pop Warner National Championships in Orlando, an entire week of seeing the best of thousands of teams from all over the US. In the 30 games I watched, the 60 teams I saw didn’t do any of the things one would associate with low character. Copyright 2011 Cisar Management, all rights reserved 8 Championship teams believe in their coaches and in each other. They don’t give up the first time the other team takes a lead.

  • From Whistle to Snap – Version 2
    From Whistle to Snap – Version 2 This document is intended to supplement to the 2014 edition of Mechanics Illustrated (MI) and any previous editions of From Whistle to Snap. Many of the chapters of MI include information about dead ball officiating; however, officials and RTO observers noted areas that needed clarifications and additional information. In this chapter, we are going to cover what happens after the whistle blows and the play ends until the ball is snapped (or free kicked) starting the next play. This will include the “Accordion” mechanic and other dead ball responsibilities. The other chapters in the mechanics manual cover the positioning, coverage areas, and other live ball oriented topics. The Accordion Mechanic: One of the basic dead ball mechanics is the accordion mechanic used at the end of most plays (The exceptions are noted in the next section). Simply put, the accordion is the motion of all officials other than the Umpire(U) toward the dead ball spot at the end of the play. This convergence of officials helps improve dead ball officiating and reminds the players that you are there. For the wing officials, it helps sell the forward progress spot and moves them away from coaches who might be reacting to the play or call. In the normal accordion mechanic, the Referee(R) moves toward the ball, normally coming in about 5-7 yards. The Back Judge(BJ) also comes toward the ball about 10- 12 yards. The wings come down the sideline to the forward progress yard line and square up their turn and come in to at least the top of the numbers.
