The National Football League and its players are proud to be part of this program designed to support youth and high school football coaches. Youth and high school football is the foundation of our game. For many of us, that is where our interest in football began. Many current and former NFL players tell us that their youth and high school coaches played critical roles in their development both as players and as people. This program recognizes that one of the best ways to help America’s young people is by supporting and enhancing the skills of youth sports coaches. Developing outstanding youth football coaches is the mission of this Coaching Academy. The program explores coaching philosophy as well as the specifics of offensive, defensive, and special teams play. Planning and organization, coach- player communication, life skills, and player safety also are covered. This program is an investment in the future. We salute your dedication to young people and football, and look forward to working with you in our Coaching Academy Program. Sincerely, PAUL TAGLIABUE GENE UPSHAW Commissioner Executive Director National Football League NFL Players Association v SECTION I PROGRAM OVERVIEW Section I: Coaching Academy Program Overview Section Objectives This introductory section of your Coach’s Playbook has four objectives. These include: • Welcoming you to the NFL/NFF Coaching Academy Program (CAP); • Introducing you to the CAP; • Describing the CAP materials you will receive; • Discussing how you can best use the CAP materials to improve your coaching. About the Coaching Academy Program Mission and Goals The National Football League (NFL) and National Football Foundation (NFF) have formed a partnership to initiate the NFL/NFF Coaching Academy Program (CAP). The CAP was developed in an effort to facilitate the growth of the game and to insure the positive development of all those young people participating. The mis- sion of the CAP is simple, but critical. It is designed to elevate the quality of football coaching at the youth and high school levels across America and expand the game of FOOTBALL. This mission is reflected in the program’s guiding motto: “developing winners in football and life.” By improving the quality of coaching, positive youth development will be fostered and the number of participants in the game will increase. By participating in the CAP, you will enhance your football coaching knowledge and learn ways to impart that knowledge to your players. You will also learn how to maximize enjoyment for your players, while at the same time insuring that they participate in a physically and psychologically safe environment. Most important, you will learn ways to help your athletes develop as football players, good citizens, and productive members of society. Finally, you will interact with and better understand coaches from all levels of the football community. Your participation will help strengthen the network of football coaches in America. Program Description The CAP curriculum covers six essential areas needed to teach the game of football effectively to young people and run a successful and safe program in a positive learning environment. These areas include: • Coaching Philosophy: Developing Winners in Football and Life • Football Skills and Strategy (offense, defense, and special teams) • Coach-Player Communication • Program and Team Management—Organizing to Win • Life Skills Development—Teaching Players How to Succeed in Football and Life • Player Health and Safety—Playing

    DILISI • RARICK • DILISI Case Studies in Forensic Physics Gregory A. DiLisi, John Carroll University Richard A. Rarick, Cleveland State University This book focuses on a forensics-style re-examination of several historical events. The purpose of these studies is to afford readers the opportunity to apply basic principles of physics to unsolved mysteries STUDIESCASE IN PHYSICS FORENSIC and controversial events in order to settle the historical debate. We identify nine advantages of using case studies as a pedagogical approach to understanding forensic physics. Each of these nine advantages is the focus of a chapter of this book. Within each chapter, we show how a cascade of unlikely events resulted in an unpredictable catastrophe and use introductory-level physics to analyze the outcome. Armed with the tools of a good forensic physicist, the reader will realize that the historical record is far from being a set of agreed upon immutable facts; instead, it is a living, changing thing that is open to re-visitation, re-examination, and re-interpretation.

  • South Korea Section 3
    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • SIMPLE SPREAD PASS: Fast & Free Case 5 – Fast Tempo and Free Back Release Concepts
    X&O Labs Article – March 17, 2018 SIMPLE SPREAD PASS: Fast & Free Case 5 – Fast Tempo and Free Back Release Concepts 9th Grade Assistant Coach State College High School, PA Instructor in Kinesiology @ Penn State University INTRODUCTION: In 1991 when we started running no huddle flex-bone, we incorporated run & shoot pass concepts into our offensive system. We researched and studied Georgia Southern Universities “Ham-bone” that had won 2 national championships under the QB Tracy Ham and HFC Erk Russell. In 1997 we started running no huddle multiple pro @ Aurora University (D3 playoff team) where we researched and studied legendary HFC Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers West Coast Offense. In 2002 we combined both run & shoot concepts with west coast using a multiple spread offense to be fast @ Luther College (D3 #1 in plays per game average and #5 total offense – 2006). In 2017 we then incorporated Penn State’s free back release concepts along with our evolved spread pass game using fast tempo (simple communication with sound cover beating pass concepts). This article will show you What-Why-How to incorporate and teach 1 back spread pass with fast tempo combined with free release back concepts – simple and sound, yet fast – free and FUN! WHAT 1. Use core run & shoot concepts combined with west coast pass concepts 2. Use simple “911” tempo and communication 3. Compliment core pass game with free release back concepts – using simple QB read progression WHY 1. We want to attack coverages with concepts and do it fast (so the picture does not change) 2.

The home team as designated on the schedule will wear the color/dark jersey with the away team wearing the white jersey. 2.

The team that defended first gets the ball to start the second half. 3. The offensive team takes possession of the ball at its 5-yard line and has three (3) plays to cross midfield.
