  • 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.

Mahendra Singh Johal, 66, appeared in Surrey provincial court yesterday on two charges of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Investigators said Johal is married to a woman identified in court documents as Sukhwinder Kaur Johal, 35, who police found clinging to life when they arrived at a townhouse in the 6300 block of 126th Street. Police found the woman’s sons Amarjit Gill, 17, and his 15-year-old brother Ra- manjit Gill dead inside the home. Sukhdeep Sandhu, 13, a friend of the boys, said their biological father had died in an accident in India. He added the boys’ mother had been struggling to adjust to life in Canada. “[Amarjit] told me, ‘Everyday my uncle is fighting with my mom,’” Sandhu said. South Asians often use the term “uncle” as a sign of respect. Balraj Basra, 15, said the pair had arrived from India with their mother about eight months ago and were planning to move into another apartment later this month. “I’m sad,” Basra said. “I’m crying.

    THE PLAYBOOK NFL WAY TO PLAY 2 MISSION NFL Way to Play seeks to apply science, research, data and experience to promote proper playing technique, protect players from unnecessary risk and foster culture change to attain on-field excellence at all levels of the game. “ If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten.” Jessie Potter, Educator NFL WAY TO PLAY INTRODUCTION 3 NFL WAY TO PLAY AWARD The NFL will identify player techniques and performances that are consistent with the Way to Play. Each week during the NFL season, a player will be recognized in national media and awarded a Youth Football Equipment grant. The League will also recognize and celebrate Way to Play techniques at the high school level. Hudl will ask users to submit film weekly for consideration for the High School Way to Play Award. A panel of football legends and experts will choose one video to be featured on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football. The winning high school will also be awarded an NFL Youth Football Equipment grant. NFL WAY TO PLAY INTRODUCTION 4 THE BREAKDOWN POSTURE Proper posture at the start of a play before the ball is snapped is critical. Without placing athletes in a starting point that is strong, stable and allows for sight, the player will struggle to consistently display proper behavior throughout the play. APPROACH What happens between the ball being snapped and prior to contact is called the approach. The most important traits players need to exhibit during the approach are for their knees to be bent, the pads down, and the head up.
