    TEAMWORK SIMPLY STATED, TEAMWORK WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! Team Philosophy There are only three things that I ask you to believe in unquestionably. If you believe in these three things then you will be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how many mistakes you may make. Likewise, if you do NOT believe in these three things with all your heart and soul, then you will not be a part of this team no matter what your abilities or talents may be or how perfect you may be. You must believe in: 1. YOURSELF. To be successful in anything you must believe (care, trust, confidence) in yourself. If you do not believe in yourself, no one else will. 2. TEAMATE. You must believe in your team mate. We cannot accomplish anything of great value in life without help. Even Jesus had help; he had 12 team mates; it only took one to betray him and the team. If you have a team mate that you do not believe in, then we must build him up 3. COACHES. Finally, you must believe in your leaders, the coaches for we are apart of the team. After Judas betrayed Jesus and the Jews crucified Him, the apostles denied knowing Him and went into hiding. But their faith in Him reunited them and revived their belief in each other which provided them the courage they needed to dedicate and give their lives to His teachings. Thanks to those faithful 11, the teachings of Jesus live today. Nothing of any great significance was ever accomplished alone.

Here is your 1961 Montana University football guide, a continuation of the new format that was established in 1959 by the MSU News Service. So far as football guides are concerned, we don’t pretend to compete with the slick printed brochures offered by many schools. This multilithed version is the Montana format for the simple reason that much of the material in any brochure is out of date once the season gets under way. As usual, this editor will follow usual procedure of providing comprehensive advance stories, feature material and photographs on a week-to-week basis, stressing mailing to areas where games are being played on a given weekend rather than saturating the field prior to the season We should also like to call your attention to “The Grizzly Gridiron,” a 175-page football history of the Grizzlies that was printed recently by the MSU Press.

This will confuse a rushing defense long enough to open a lane for the ball carrier and allow a lane for the HB to attack the LB. This type of a blocking scheme should be fun to use on playes up the middle for the young players. Again, it get's everyone involved in the play.

  • Coaching Defensive Linemen Part I: Philosophy, Constants and Key Points Mike Walker Defensive Line Coach, Ishpeming (Mich.) H.S
    Coaching Defensive Linemen Part I: Philosophy, Constants and Key Points Mike Walker Defensive Line Coach, Ishpeming (Mich.) H.S. Regardless of the defensive scheme you run, to teach it effectively you must break down the techniques and skills that each position requires, and you must have a system to communicate and teach those techniques and skills. In other words, as a coach it is your responsibility to give your players the tools and confidence they need to be successful in what you are asking them to do. The system to teach those techniques and skills consists of philosophy, drills, and key/code words. However, coaching isn’t always about what you teach. It is often about what you emphasize. The trick is to make sure you are teaching what you emphasize. For example, if a coach emphasizes turnovers, but never practices the techniques and skills necessary to create them, then he shouldn’t be surprised his team doesn’t create a lot of takeaways. As a defensive line coach I must have a specific, organized and realistic approach to practice so that the techniques and skills my players need are developed and fit into the overall defensive concept. Before I get into my approach of accomplishing this though defensive line progressions, I want to discuss philosophy, constants and key points of coaching defensive linemen. 1. Our defensive players are always either in a football position or running. Anything else is a waste of time and energy, and isn’t contributing to us being a dominating defensive team through technique and pursuit.

We wish you the best of luck in this upcoming football season and hope you take something valuable away from this video. CHAPTER 2 - WARM-UP COACH: We start every practice with a warm-up. What we’re trying to do is get the muscles loose and blood flowing through the body; that way they’re not injuring themselves. The first part of the warm-up we’ll do is a dynamic warm-up, which means the players are moving while they are stretching and the second part of the warm-up will be a static stretch which means they are staying still while they stretch, which is a little bit different type of stretch.
