    10 Ways to Become a Better Football Coach December 9, 2014 Travis Brody Facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedinmail (Photo courtesy of Shamus Ian Fatzinger-Fairfax County Times) (Photo courtesy of Shamus Ian Fatzinger-Fairfax County Times) Translations of this article are also available in the following languages:DanskEspañolFrançaisItalianoMagyarNorskPortuguêsRomânăSrpski One of the things that separates an average coach and a great coach is the desire to constantly improve their abilities. American football is a sport that is rich in strategy and technique, meaning that the ways to improve our understanding of the game are endless. Coaches, too, have countless ways to improve the way they teach the game to their players. With that in mind, we’ve refined these into a concise list that can help any coach improve their abilities. Here are the top 10 ways to become a better football coach: 1. Learn and Understand the Rules As a leader of young athletes, it’s vital that a coach thoroughly study the rulebook to understand the rules of the game he’s coaching. Simply knowing the rules is not enough – coaches need to grasp how each rule is applied in a practical sense. You need to be able to identify things such as a clipping penalty, a legal chop block, an illegal formation, etc., all within the context of a game situation. There are many situations that occur over the course of a season in which your players will come to you for an explanation of how a penalty is assessed or whether or not what they’re doing constitutes an infraction. It’s essential that you can clarify this for your players, less they see you in an unfavorable light for not knowing the rules of the game you teach.

  • Ehemaliger Giants Coach Jim Fassel Im Alter Von 71 Jahren Verstorben
    Ehemaliger 49ers, Saints LB Haralson stirbt mit 37 Jahren Parys Haralson, ein ehemaliger Linebacker der San Francisco 49ers und der New Orleans Saints, ist tot. Er wurde lediglich 37 Jahre alt. Die 49ers gaben den Tod von Haralson am Montag bekannt. Einzelheiten wurden nicht genannt. Haralson war auch zwei Jahre lang Direktor für Spielerverpflichtungen in San Francisco. “Parys war ein geliebtes Mitglied unserer Organisation, der das Leben mit einer außergewöhnlichen Menge an Leidenschaft und Freude gelebt hat, während er bei jedem, der ihm begegnet ist, eine unauslöschliche Spur hinterlassen hat”, sagte das Team in einer Erklärung. “Wir sprechen Parys Familie und seinen Angehörigen unser Beileid aus.” Haralson spielte College-Basketball in Tennessee, bevor er von San Francisco in der fünften Runde des NFL Drafts 2006 ausgewählt wurde. Er erzielte 21 Sacks. Haralson bestritt 118 NFL Spiele, darunter 88 Starts. Er kam auf 380 Tackles, 28 Sacks, fünf Fumble- Recoveries, drei erzwungene Fumbles und fünf abgewehrte Pässe.

  • Active Statistical Leaders Heading Into 2001
    “REAL” JOBS Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback TOMMY MADDOX once pitched insurance policies before he got a job throwing footballs. JOSE CORTEZ of the Kansas City Chiefs, the only NFL player in history born in El Salvador, was once a roofer. And everybody knows that 2001 NFL MVP KURT WARNER once stocked groceries. Indeed, a surprising number of NFL players had “real” jobs before they came into the league. “Football is a blue-collar man’s game,” says former Washington Redskins cornerback DARRELL GREEN. And maybe that’s why the league is filled with so many former “blue-collar” workers. Following is a list of “real jobs” previously held by some NFL players: PLAYER, TEAM CAREER(S) David Akers, Philadelphia Substitute teacher; waiter James Allen, Houston Worked at Houston recording studio Mitch Berger, St. Louis Pumped gas in Canada Jose Cortez, Kansas City Roofer Mark Dixon, Miami Golf course lawn maintenance Jay Feely, Atlanta Financial consultant Ray Jackson, Cincinnati Wal-Mart sporting goods employee Michael Lewis, New Orleans Budweiser truck driver Tommy Maddox, Pittsburgh Insurance salesman Fred McCrary, New England Corrections officer David Patten, New England Landscaper, electrician, truck loader Nathan Poole, Arizona Youth counselor Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis Electrical supply company Al Wallace, Carolina Public school assistant principal Kurt Warner, St. Louis Stocked groceries OTHER JOBS Football takes up a lot of their time, but that has not prevented a good number of NFL players from preparing for life after the game by jumping into some other lines of work even as they “moonlight” on the football field. For example, Philadelphia Eages cornerback TROY VINCENT – the 2002 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year – is a full-fledged offseason entrepreneur.
