  • Coaching Tips and Drills
    Coaching Tips and Drills Overview The purpose of this manual is to provide ideas, drills and activities for the coach to use at practice to help the players enhance their skills for game day. Strategy • Decide what style of game you want to play and plan your plays accordingly. There is only so much you can teach the players in the time you have, so keeping to a reoccurring theme can make it easier to understand what you are asking your players to do. Example: Play for first downs, not touchdowns. This might be accomplished by using short passes and running plays. Hydration Tips • Pre-hydrate • Players should drink 16 oz of fluid first thing in the morning of a practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid one hour prior to the start of the practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid 20 minutes prior to the start of the practice or game • Hydrate • Players should have unlimited access to fluids (sports drinks and water) throughout the practice or game • Players should drink during the practice or game to minimize losses in body weight but should not over drink • All players should consume fluids during water breaks. Many players will say that they are not thirsty. However, in many cases, by the time they realize that they are thirsty they are already dehydrated or on their way to be dehydrated. Make sure all your players are getting the proper fluids Defensive Tips • Pulling the flag • Watch the ball carrier’s hips as opposed to his or her feet, or head • Stay in front of the ball carrier • Stay low and lunge at the flag • If you grab anything but the flag, let go immediately to avoid a penalty • Playing Zone Defense • Each defensive back is responsible for an area as opposed to a player • This will enable you them to keep an eye on the receiver and the quarterback at the same time • As receivers come through your area, try to anticipate where the QB wants to throw the ball.

  • Men's Chase the Rabbit Drill
    MEN’S CHASE THE RABBIT DRILL AUTHOR INFORMATION: Author Name: Kevin Warne Author School: Georgetown University DRILL SPECS: Drill Theme: Defensive Drill Style: Defense Field Location: Defensive Field Position: Offense, Defense Time Needed: 10 Min Skill Level: Basic OBJECTIVE: To work on preventing the attacker to beat the defender behind the goal. Works on reducing the times the attacker can change directions. DRILL DESCRIPTION: Start by setting up a line of attackers behind the goal and a line of defenders directly behind the goal ready to play the attackmen. The attackmen starts by making a dodge from x on his defender. Once the attackman has made his dodge it is the defenders job to step out and play him. While this is happening the defender must maintain trailing his attacker. This prevents the defender from getting to far ahead of his attacker and allowing the attacker to change directions. While behind the attacker, the defender must maintain pressure on his back and push him towards the sidelines. This makes the defender dodge one way and get pushed away from the goal. SKILLS PRACTICED: • Defense from Behind • Communication • Decision Making • Stopping the Change of Direction VARIATIONS: You can require that the dodge come from both sides of the field. This forces the defense to practice stopping the dodge on both sides of the field. In addition, you can add a goalie and require that he make the defensive call deciding when the defender should go out to his player and drive him sideways.

Off the fi eld, Stockstill made an immediate impact as well by dramatically improving the team’s APR to 949 from 892. A benchmark of all championship teams is the ability to win away from home, and Stockstill’s Blue Raiders demonstrated their mental toughness by winning a league-best four Sun Belt Conference road games on the way to a school record six conference wins in all. In fact, Middle Tennessee’s road success was among the best in college football in 2006–only 10 other teams won as many conference road games (Arkansas, Auburn, Boise State, BYU, Ohio, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, USC, Wake Forest). It is said you are only as good as the people you surround yourself with, and Stockstill assembled a championship staff well before he coached his first game. Stockstill’s staff sports two Super Bowl rings, three National Championships, 58 bowl rings, and 125 years of coaching experience. Along with his extensive background in collegiate coaching circles, the driven and determined Stockstill also has had the advantage of working alongside some of the greatest minds in college football history. These experiences were evident in his highly successful fi rst season at the helm. Stockstill, who made his way to Murfreesboro after spending the previous two years at South Carolina, has worked with legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spur- rier, Danny Ford, Tommy Bowden, Ken Hatfi eld, and Tommy West.

Although the NCAA proclaims to protect stu- dent-athletes, an examination of its practices suggests that the organization has a troubling history of ignoring the harmful effects of concussions. Over one hundred years after the NCAA was established, and seventy years after the NCAA itself knew of the potential effects of concussions, the organization has done little to reduce the occurrence of concussions or to alleviate the po- tential effects that stem from repeated hits to the head.
