The success of our program will be our ability to communicate; and realize that in order to run a top-notch program will require the input off all those involved and the willingness to share in the success and

failures, the ups and downs of those who sacrifice the time, and provide the internal commitment to the future of the “Viper Football”

program.

Vision for the Memorial “Viper’s” Football Program“To make sure that the football program will be respected as one of the best

football programs in the state”“Where We Go One, We Go All.”

150 % Effort“We Are Only As Good As the Last Person so, How Good Will We Be”

“Besides Teaching Our Athletes What You Know, Show Them That You Care”

The Building of an Attitude – Memorial High SchoolThe following information will be the norm for how we establish our football

program and a winning attitude. We must expect from our athletes and from ourselves the strength from within to be the difference maker.

MENTAL PREPARATION THE UNKOWN INGREDIENT – must win the mental battles.

A T T I T U D E

1 + 20 + 20 + 9 + 20 + 21 + 4 + 5

ATTITUDE and EFFORT IS OUR FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESS – and is the 150% vehicle in which our staff and athletes must ride to make the difference.

The letters in the word ATTITUDE = 100% represent their placement in the alphabet. We must find away within our program to generate another 50% effort to be the best. This will come from talking it and demanding the best possible effort from our coaches and players. Each and everyday that teams take the field, coaches demand and expect that their team give 100-110% effort. We must distance our self’s from that in order to make a difference. Our ability to give 150% effort equals the difference maker. Dare to be different. Our success is not about any one person’s ego and what he wants; it must be what’s best for the group (Church, family, coaches, players, school, community, etc.).

F orget The Past We must concentrate on what we are going to do now and in the future.

O ut Work Our Opponent Leave no stones unturned.

C ommitment Be the best – talk it – live it.

U tilize our Abilities Find away to put our athletes in the best position to succeed.

S eek Personal Bests Must challenge our self's each and everyday to get better.

If The Dream Is To Become a Reality:

The Building of a Championship Program – the following information should be talked and expected by all our football coaches. To be the best takes Effort and

Commitment. We all are an extension of each other.

Expect it to Happen – 150% EffortTalk and think in terms of success – believe it will happenAsk that our athletes give 150% in what ever they do.Dream Big – Stay Focused Develop a plan - Believe in it – Improve it constantlyAnalyze and make our plan fit; it must fit our personnelNo one person more important than the team.Coaches must be able to support each other at all levels.

Develop a Great Learning EnvironmentWe will involve everyone in the community if possible. Develop players who are dedicated and unselfish, only as good as the last guy. Sacrifice – Team – Hold the Rope – Stay FocusedStay in front of the learning curve

If The Dream Is To Become A Reality:

Always Stay PositiveCoaches should always look for good in our players – attitude, performance, work habits, etc.Have discipline and be consistent. Each position coach must get involved in the personal lives of his players.Make each player on our team understand that they have a role in the success of our team whether as a starter or as a back up.Accountability both coaches and players the key ingredient, each person has a piece of the pie.If there is something you don’t like about the program then work to make it better.

Have a Great Positive In-SeasonThis is where we will maintain the edge i.e. classroom, weight room, conditioning, getting involved with your position players. Our season must also be determined by the amount of work and sacrifice we develop in the in-season programs.Develop great Team Leaders, lead by example.Maintain Speed – Quickness – Strength – Unity – Mental Toughness.

Main Objectives of the In-Season Football Program

Develop Mental Toughness In Our Athletes. (Must Win the Mental Battles)Do all the little things right all the time.Our athletes must take coaching. Coaches must demand that our athletes follow our team rules.Coaches need to go the extra mile to make sure the little things are taken care of.

Physical Strength and QuicknessWeight Room, Classroom – Championships are Made and Maintained here.Strength and quickness drills must compliment the schemes.

IntensityEverything is done at a high level of enthusiasm and competitiveness – Push each other and work at top position skill level.Never be satisfied.All out effort - All the time – 150% effort during group and team periods.Coaches and players must expect more of themselves and players

Main Objectives of the In-Season Football Program

Unity – Coaches and Players Always “US” and “WE” not “I” and “ME”. Make being on the TEAM the greatest experience of our athlete’s life.We are fortunate – God gave us the ability to coach and our athletes the ability to play.Hard work together + Unity of Team. Encourage each other to work harder – the harder we work, the harder it is to surrender. Remember, if you don’t invest very much then losing doesn’t hurt very much, this applies to both players and coaches.Players want coaches that care about them, become apart of your position players lives.

The Difference Between Us and Them We do work harder – 100% them / 150% us.Discipline.Never walk on the practice field, don’t be the one we must wait on.With hard work we can accomplish it – it will be done. Football is no sport for a lazy coach or athlete.We will sweat the small stuff. The little things we do will make us champions. Our success – Our attitude – Our work habits. These are the choices we make. CHOOSE SUCCESS!

Football Starts in the Classroom!!

Educational, and Coaching Philosophies

One thing can be said: “You can take football from me, but you can never take my education away”.

The talk of getting an education will always take precedence over athletics. I believe that athletics and academics can and should work hand in hand. Establishing discipline in any program starts in the classroom. There is no reason that we should not strive to be champions in the classroom, as well as champions on the playing field. Discipline in the classroom means discipline on the playing field.

It is very important to see athletics as a part of the total educational program. It should both compliment and contribute to the overall educational and athletic process. For many student athletes it is the most effective climate for learning the invaluable lessons of personal integrity, determination, self-confidence, and proper mental attitude (discipline starts in the classroom). Individual and group responsibilities along with the desire to achieve high goals will be the basic objectives of our athletic programs.

What You Can Expect From the Head Coach and Boys Athletic Coordinator

To be accountable for all actions. When we win it will be because of our assistant coaches and players. If we lose it will be because of the Head Football Coach, but I will make necessary changes to the program if needed.

To deal with all coaching situations with honor and integrity. If we as coaches need to discuss potential problems and or disagreements it will be behind closed doors, and to let you know privately when you have been derelict of duties and publicly to promote your successes.

To run an organized program so that we will be able to function efficiently. I want our coaches coaching our athletes, becoming apart of their lives and to be someone they can trust first and foremost.

To maintain an atmosphere that is conducive to work.To listen to your suggestions.To give you ownership, responsibility and authority.To work and provide leadership to win.To treat you like a man with dignity and respect.To be totally concerned about you and your family, regardless of what problems confront you.To be very loyal to you and do everything a head coach can do to help you grow professionally.To sell you to our administration, players, community, and other coaches.To let you coach on the field within your personality.

Expectations Of Our Assistant Coaches

“A good coach makes better players out of border line athletes and often makes good players out of mediocre ones. A good coach emphasizes their abilities – enables them to make the most of their god given talents – gives them the best chance for success by putting the right player in the right place.”

Robert Zuppke

To be the very best classroom teacher, and on the field coach that you can be. Make sure that you stay on top of your department heads expectations also; this means lesson plans, etc.

Never use profanity around our athletes and never allow our players to.

Never use tobacco around school, field house, practice fields; this means coaches and players. We have a Tobacco free campus, No Tobacco In The Field House!

It is the athlete’s responsibility to please the coach and not the coach’s place to please the players. Our job as coaches is to run a top-flight program that will eventually lead to continued success. As coaches we have an obligation to run a disciplined program that will be successful in the long run. To do anything else is unfair to the coaches and athletes who want to win. Don’t worry about what your fellow coaches are doing. Just do your job and do it well. When hanging out around the field house and our kids are in the locker room and you find yourself with nothing to do please go and visit with our players. This will be expected


Don’t allow anything to lie around the athletic area, which includes the locker room, and weight room and dome areas. Our Strength Coach as well as our assistant coaches will be responsible for the up keep of the weight room. All coaches please pitch in to help in keeping the field house clean.

If you have an assignment that requires you to supervise the locker room, dome, and weight room areas please make sure our athletes keep it clean and they are picking up after themselves.

Don’t run off right after practice, pitch in there’s always something to do, check in with the coordinators or head coach before leaving.

Don’t expect anything less than perfection in every aspect of the football program.

Don’t leave the locker rooms unsupervised when our athletes are still inside.

Don’t keep score; coaches must take pride in their assigned responsibilities.

Coaches will be expected to be on time for all staff meetings and practices, unless you have notified the head coach of a problem. Follow the fifteen-minute rule, if we expect our athletes to follow this rule then we as coaches need to follow it also.

To be a positive role model.


To do everything you can do to develop a winning attitude.

To study and work hard to make yourself a great coach. Educational growth is a must for any coach in order to maintain, sustain and develop new innovative ways of coaching, new teaching techniques, and better ways to improve teaching.

To be professional in attitude, responses, work and personal appearance.Never involve your spouse in the coaching situation in a negative manner.

To be sincerely interested in the success of our players and other members of the coaching staff.

Never give up on a player. He can always change and likely will if given the chance by you.To be positive and never doubt that we will be successful.

To be loyal to the program. If you have problems with the head coach or any of our other coaches please keep your comments in house they don’t belong out in the community.

To be creative and have the ability to think on your own and apply gained knowledge of the game. Please don’t wait to be told what to do.

To be on the same page with each other (offense, defense) when taking the practice or game field. Never take your disagreements to practice.


Don’t get complacent as the season goes on. Don’t let the little things slide in the discipline of our players; this will lead to bad habits.

Have a plan for everything. Be organized.

Do not choose favorites. Work with every player on the squad.

If you are going to leave campus or be absent from assigned duties please check in with the appropriate staff member in charge of teachers.

When taking the field know where you belong, be waiting for your players, don’t have players waiting on you.

Utilize instruction time before and after practice. As a rule of thumb use the “15 minute rule” if I arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting time then I’m on time; if I arrive 10 minutes early I’m 5 minutes late; if I arrive 5 minutes early then I’m 10 minutes late; and if I arrive on the scheduled time then my players are waiting for you.Have something to say after each effort. Remember, this is coaching and “don’t coach out of frustration.” Don’t just tell an athlete what he is doing wrong, show him how to correct it; this builds credibility.


Stay alert for players with injuries or heat problems. Refer to trainer.

Strive to make your group the best on the field, take pride in your work.

Do not experiment with drills during practice, have your work thought out, and make sure it fits the scheme.

Always strive to improve your individual position technique that you are teaching your athletes.

Never lose your poise or confidence, coach those things that you know how to fix.

As a position coach, expect to be talked to if something avoidable goes wrong.Our practices must be organized; talk in meetings not on the field, repetition is the most important key, repetition instills learning. Don’t hold clinics on the field.

Players must perform on the practice field with a since of urgency, hustle is the key ingredient.

Pay strict attention to the scheduled time segments. Wear a watch to practice, take a whistle to the practice field and don’t forget your practice schedule.

Don’t relax during any segment. All segments are very important, or they would not be included.


Gain the respect from your players, don’t demand respect, you must earn it.

Coach our players all year long, “talk football”. Encourage them to “hang around the field house”, to work on a position specialty skill, and to work in the weight room.

Talk the importance of classroom demeanor, doing well in class, staying current on all classroom assignments and homework. Character in the classroom is key.

If you get tired pray for strength, because as a staff we are only as strong as our weakest link.

Coaches will be asked to make thorough preparation for carrying out their responsibilities at each and every practice session, off-season and in-season events. Coaches will be asked to personally assume the responsibility for preparing any necessary charts and drill situations to accomplish smoothly and efficiently the teaching expected of him on and off the field.

Always be optimistic. The glass is half full.

What We As Coaches Will Expect From Our Athletes

A. Behavior Expectations of Our Student Athlete’s

Accept and understand the seriousness of their responsibility, their commitment tosuccess and the privilege of representing their school and their community.

Live up to the standards of sportsmanship established by the school administration and the Districts athletic code of conduct.

Learn the rules of the game thoroughly and discuss them with parents, fans, fellow students and elementary students. This will assist both them and you in the achievement of a better understanding and appreciation of the game.

Treat opponents the way you would like to be treated, as a guest or friend. Who better than you to understand all the hard work and team effort that is required of your sport?

Wish opponents good luck before the game and congratulate them in a courteous manner following either victory or defeat.

Respect the integrity and judgment of game officials. The officials are doing their best to help promote you and your sport. Treating them with respect, even if you disagree with their judgment, will only make a positive impression of you and your team in the eyes of the officials and all the people at the event.

What We As Coaches Will Expect From Our Athletes

Always use Yes Sir, Yes Ma’am; No Sir, No Ma’am.

Position coaches will be responsible for teaching his position players how to play hard between the whistle and how to act between plays. Absolutely no trash talking!!!

To give their very best effort towards receiving a quality education.

Do the right thing; make good decisions that won’t affect them, their families and or the football program in a negative way.

Always give their best effort for the team, teammates, and themselves.

To treat all teachers with full respect or to treat others the way you want to be treated.

To be an athlete of Character.

Abide by team and school rules. Must stay clean-shaven.

Sacrifice for the team, each individual is only as good as the team.

Be the best person that they can be, be a role model for others.

Discipline Consequences in Season and During Athletic Periods

Each position coach must pay attention to his position players if any of these infractions occur and if so be responsible for taking appropriate action to insure it doesn’t happen again.Late for practice or class – Quality time with coachSkipping class during athletic period, off-season – Quality time with coachNot wearing proper issued clothing – Quality time with coachNot shaving - Quality time with coach.Leaving locker unlocked – Quality time with coach.Inappropriate language – Quality time with coachLosing equipment – Quality time with coach and cost of replacing equipment.Leaving equipment out on the floor – Quality time with coach.

Punishment Running After Practice

For each offense a “Dirty 300” will be given a player after practice. The commitment coaches or position coach will be responsible for punishment running after practice. Definition of a “Dirty 300”.100-yard forward sprint.100-yard back pedal.100-yard Bear Crawl.When performing the bear crawl the athlete’s knee should not touch the ground, if a knee touches then the athlete will start the “Dirty 300” over again.

Approach to Practice Sessions

Nothing is more important to the success of our football program than the time we spend on the practice field. The important thing is how we utilize this time. The time we spend preparing for practice is as important as the actual time we spend on the field. The only way we can determine whether our practices are organized or not is by what we accomplish on the field during our allotted time. Whether we win or lose on Friday night is determined how we practiced during the week. In other words we’ll play like we practice. “Must Practice Like Champions.”

During pre-season practices, we must get our team fundamentally sound. We must attempt to prepare our self’s to play a game the week prior to the opening season. Compile a “must list” and make certain every situation is covered on it. Both Offensive and Defensive coordinators must conduct a game like scrimmage and do not conclude it until every situation that might arise during the season is covered prior to our first scrimmage.

Practice Philosophy and Guidelines for Coaches The 150% Factor

Utilization of practice time is of utmost importance. We must have practice segments organized to the minute. Each segment will last 5 minutes but not longer than 10 minutes in duration. Each segment should be coached to its fullest potential and once the period is over then we must proceed to the next period, no exceptions. By sticking to this routine, it forces us to coach hard and to near game like situation. Coaches must stay aware of the time and practice segment we are in.

Coaches are to get as much “talking” done as possible before going onto the field. We do not want to slow down the tempo of practice. Enthusiasm is a vital role in a good practice. By standing around and “talking” to our players will sometimes slow down their intensity. Players need to know that when they step onto the grass they must be a 150% player as well as the coach being a 150% coach to his players. Our practices should be sharp, enthusiastic, with lots of hustle. This can only be possible if we have “A Unified Coaching Staff” which means all our coaches involved in the football program demanding the same style of play. Be Positive … Coach up and make our players the best that they can be, each player should be made to feel important to the overall success of the program.

As a staff we must stress to our players the importance of a great work ethic. If our opponent runs 10 – 100 yard sprints then we must run 10 better. It is my belief as the Head Football Coach is that if we are going to change the attitude of our players then we must change the attitude and expectations of our self’s as coaches for what it takes to win and go the distance. The little Things Make The Difference, I Will Never Compromise My Beliefs, and Our Expectations of a Quality Practice (150% effort).

Practice and Development Considerations

The following information is basic practice and drill considerations each coach will be asked to remember when installing and developing their position players. The following information must be adhered to when taking the practice field and preparing our football team for a championship run. We have an eight-hour rule under U.I.L. for allocated practice time during the week.

Give each player a chance to succeed and be positive. We’re only as good as the last guy; so how good will our players be? How important will you make each player feel in relationship to the success of our football program?

Push players to their full maximum effort during individual, group and team periods.When not installing techniques and introducing schemes make your “Drill Atmosphere” as near game like as possible.

Teach at the top position skill level in your group don’t coach down.

Correct all techniques and assignment errors immediately. When working in group settings and or team make sure we all take notice of our position players the little aspects of technique and correct them if needed.

Maintain positive discipline – control the desired results – stress execution.

Teach high percentage repetitions with low group discussion, repetition develops position skills.Skills are perfected by “Repetition”.


Skills are perfected by “Repetition” – move players fast through drills, use the 150% factor for developing our players.

Begin new practice periods as fast as possible; keep an eye on the segment clocks.

Must be able to coach first key reactions to our position players and make this important. This is where the stimulus response works.

Teach the easiest way to complete your desired results for positions drills – repetition continues to be the key.

As a position coach stress basic skill techniques, the game is secondary. The coordinators will provide the direction for scheme.

Instill in our athletes a positive work ethic built around the 150% factor and giving all they have during our scheduled practice periods. We will play like we practice.

Be persistent in demanding that techniques are performed correctly. As an example if you are responsible for coaching defensive backs than on any given snap all your position athletes should be observed and corrected. This is called coaching on the run.


Coach at near game like player reaction as possible.

Plan and only use drills that relate to specific position assignments that the coordinators will use. Check your practice schedules before taking the field.

End practice segments on the whistle – start new drill as soon as possible. No standing around. Each coach will be required to take a whistle to practice.

Coordinators have practice schedules ready and available prior to practice. Coaches must check with coordinators for practice schedules before taking the field.

When working with other groups (example OL vs DL) get your group ready quickly – do not wait for the other group – reps are the most important thing. Be sure to set your equipment up prior to the first period on the segment clock starts.

Recognize fatigue and be ready to adjust your drills accordingly. Your position players should be encouraged to drink water when needed, don’t deny a player if water is asked for.

The most important thing to remember as a coach in our football program; your coaching image can change the football life of your position players. Get involved with your players and be concerned about their personal lives.

General Coaching AxiomsEach and every coach in our program has an obligation to push his athletes in order to achieve things they never thought possible (In-Season, Off-season, Classroom, Weight room). An athlete and or coach can become whatever he thinks he can be, but he must be willing to pay the price with effort and dedication. Not everyone can be a coach and or player. One must pay the price to be apart of a successful football program. Any organization that is easy to be a member of generally isn’t worth being apart of.

Dress for Success During The Season And The Off – Season.

Dress neatly at all times, especially when meeting parents, administrators, attending professional clinic (coaching school) etc. Please wear practice and game clothes that have been issued and represent your particular campus. When attending any clinic and especially coaching school, long pants will be worn.

Chain Of CommandI’m not impressed with the title of head coach, but grateful to have the opportunity to be the head coach in Victoria. Everyone on our staff will be made to feel that his voice and opinion matters. However, someone has to have the final say. As the head coach I will take all blame for lack of success, but willing to make the necessary changes to insure future success. If the football program develops a problem and you, as the position coach can’t solve it, bring it to the head coach and give me your recommendations for a positive solution.

Football Staff Office Hours

The basic rule is to work long enough, to get the job done. Should not get caught up in busy work, coaches’ need time to themselves and for their families during the season and off-season, but understand this is a 5-A football program that must raise its standards of expectations of our self’s as coaches and as athletes to get the job done no matter what the hours are. A coach needs to be flexible, but understand that this is not an 8 to 5 job, but a profession. Do what it takes to get the job down; don’t shortchange the other coaches and or our players. Please have all notable changes to defense and offensive schemes, practice schedules, weight room, week-end duties, coaches assignments, staff meeting times and responsibilities discussed with Head Football Coach prior to any changes being made. Because I like to be at the office does not mean you or the other coaches have to be there at the same time. When our work is finished it is time to go home. Our assistant coaches’ departure from school during the football season will be left up to our coordinators unless I as the head coach have appointed coaches for a specific assignment. I will ask that all coaches pitch in to make sure all responsibilities have been completed on game night and that the dressing rooms are always supervised, no coach should be excused until the last player has left and the laundry and any other duties have been completed.

Hard WorkWhile the head coach’s time is not more valuable than yours, neither is yours more valuable then mine. Be prompt in completing all your assigned duties and be prepared to discuss duties performed. Be a self-starter and make a personal commitment to excellence. Get the job done regardless of the hours involved. If you love your job, you will never count the hours. Accept responsibilities, accept duties, make personal sacrifices, improve your knowledge of football, and constantly strive to exhibit to your players your commitment to the program and to them.

LoyaltyLoyalty to the program is a prime ingredient for success. If the program is going to be loyal to you then you must be loyal to the head football coach, school, administration, team, fellow coaches, and our athletes.. You must be willing to listen and change if necessary and to except suggestions that the head coach makes according to schemes and or personnel changes if the staff is going to be successful. You must defend and hold each other up at all times this means the head coach as well. Never discuss anything but good qualities about the staff and the program. Loyalty is a two way street.

UnityOur staff can’t be split between offense and defensive staffs. No-second guessing. It must be understood that we will win together and or lose together. All disagreements and problems should be handled in private. If there is a disagreement don’t take it into the community and or onto the field; parents and kids pick up on this fast.

Staff Expectations and Relationships

There is only one Head Football Coach and I will count on each coach to take full responsibility for his assigned duties and to up hold the integrity of the program and its philosophies.

As a staff we must be prompt for all staff meetings and practice sessions. All meetings and practice sessions are mandatory and if for some reason you can’t be at a scheduled meeting or practice please notify Coach Campbell. Make sure you check with head coach and or coordinators for staff meetings and our schedule chances to our daily routines.

Philosophies and agreed upon offense, defense and kicking game procedures must be presented to the Head Coach before changing.

As the head coach, coordinators should please present all game plans prior to the first Monday meeting with players during the season. Due to past experiences it must be pointed out that as a coach and staff if we go out into the community that we don’t draw any undo attention to our program in a negative way.

Assistant coaches will be held accountable for their position players and coaching styles. No bad language in the program. No negative trash talking during games and or practices once the whistle has blown. Position coaches will be accountable for the whereabouts of their position players if missing from practice or games. If a position coach is missing a player a phone call should be made immediately to see if the player is at home, etc. We must teach our athletes how to play with action not words.

If any negative situation occurs during a game such as a fight between our athletes and opposing team both the head coach and coordinators will be the only coaches to enter the field and attempt to stop our players from escalating the situation. The rest of the staff will be asked to make sure all other athletes remain on the sideline.

Hydration

Coaches please make sure when we prepare our practice plans that we allocate time for water breaks. No athlete should be denied if he feels that he needs water. Our trainer will make sure that his staff has stationed enough water around the practice and playing field that no disruption in practice should occur. Athletes need to drink throughout the day (water, sports drinks, fruit juice, and non-caffeine drinks). Should drink at least 16 oz of fluids, 2 hours before practice or games. Drink another 8 oz’s of water, 15 minutes before practice or games to ensure proper hydration. Drink to fully replace sweat loss during exercise. Water will be readily available at all practices. Our student athletes will be encouraged to get water whenever they feel the need.

Memorial Staff MeetingsIt is always important that all coaches be at scheduled meetings on time, if there’s going to be a problem let the Head Coach and or Coordinators know. Please follow the 15-minute rule. It will be the responsibility of our assistant coaches to check in each day with coordinators for staff meetings and or any possible changes to schedules.

Opponent’s Propaganda Board - Locker RoomOur JV coaches will be responsible for our propaganda board located in the blue room during the season. This board will be done over the weekend and ready for our players when they return on Monday. Locate newspaper articles and any computer-generated information located on the web.

Theme of the Week Senior Campus – Hall Board

We will have a theme of the week bulletin board; location for this board is located outside the training room. The theme of the week will be rotated weekly and maintained by the coaching

staff, with each coach assigned a topic. The theme of the week will last through the entire season and on into the play-offs if applicable. The information provided below is the assigned theme of the week topics. Each week’s topic should be posted no later than Sunday evening.

Commitment Coaches

Each week we will assign coaches to take care of the week’s needs. These assignments will be on a rotating bases or a permanent one depending upon our philosophy. Some of these things are:

Take care of all conduct running for tardies, missed workouts, meetings, etc.

Inspect dressing room before and after workouts.

Pick-up and start laundry for Varsity, JV and sophomore teams after evening workouts; report next morning to put clothes in dryer.

Any other duties that may be assigned by the head coach.

Make sure all doors leading to locker rooms are locked after athletic period and after practice.

Make sure all doors leading to the showers from varsity locker room are locked.

Check facility and make sure outside doors are locked when leaving for the evening.

Laundry, Locker Room, and Extra Punishment Runs

Each week and on a rotating basis our commitment coaches will be responsible for laundry, locker room and discipline running (position coach) after practice. At the conclusion of each evenings practice, players will turn in their under clothes for laundry by placing them in their assigned laundry strap. Players will retrieve their laundry straps prior to the start of athletic period the following day. All laundry straps will be assigned by laundry bin. Coach Escalona will be responsible for equipment left out on the floor and to make sure all lockers have been locked when our athletes leave the locker room for practice during the season. If equipment is left out and our a locker is left open he then will provide coaches responsible for Quality Time with their names.

Dressing Room Supervision

When our athletes enter and leave the field house they should do so through the back doors of the locker room. Coach Major, Coach Eblen meet and greet at the back doors before practice and before athletic periods. Coach Major and Coach Eblen supervise back door before athletic period and Coach Taylor and McCarter after athletic period.

All coaches upon the completion of practice and assigned duties will be expected to be in the dressing room. Coach Barnett will monitor all dressing room responsibilities. If not a commitment coach during the week please be apart of walking through the locker room to visit with our players. If players leave any of their football equipment on the floor or lockers left open then this will constitute a “Dirty 300”.

It will be left up to the coach Escalona to lock up both JV and Varsity locker rooms once our athletes have left and cleared out for practice. Coach Escalona will also be responsible for checking to see if our athletes have locked their lockers, Coach Escalona will present those names of athletes to Coach Campbell who have left equipment out and who have left their lockers unlocked. Coach Boehm, Coach Perez, and Coach Williams will be responsible for supervising the JV locker room. Coach Barnett, Coach Stewart, Coach Newman, and Coach Rojas will be responsible for supervising the Varsity locker room during athletic period.Coach Hackey will assign duties for his coaching staff for the supervision for the Stroman campus.

Things that must take place during half time:Players must be given time to rest.All injury and equipment problems taken care of.Staff must analyze the first half and make plans for the second half.Players must be re-motivated to play the final and most important part of the game.Halftime divided into four periods:First period (four minutes).

Staff meetings.Team rest.Injury and equipment care.

Second period (four minutes).Offense and Defensive position coaches meet with assigned groups.

Third period Offense and defensive Coordinators meet with their entire offense or defensive squads. (Four minutes).Fourth period (four minutes)

Head coach meets with both offense and defense as a team.Return to field for warm-up.

In order to stay on schedule at half time Coach Perez will keep coaches informed about remaining clock time and when we should return to the field for our second half play.

Period One – Half Time OrganizationThe first period is a critical one for the staff. At this time you should be involved in an analysis of what has taken place during the first half and deciding what your plan of attack will be for the second half. The information that you should consider includes:Offensively

Fronts by down and distance.Secondary by down, distance, and formation.Short yardage and goal line defenses – stunts.Your play selection by success and failure.

DefensivelyPlays by formation.Plays by down and distance.Pass routes.Your defensive calls by down and distance.

Kicking GameHas there been any assignment breakdown in any phase of the kicking game.Is the fake punt possible?How is the kick-off coverage and punt coverage?Should you punt, block or return, etc.

GeneralPersonnel adjustments because of injuries or other reasons.Any possible playing conditions such as wind, rain, and so on, affecting the play.

Period Two – Half Time OrganizationThe second period of our halftime is for each coach to meet with the players of his position. During this period, you hope to do two things. First, you quiz your players as to what is happening to them on the field. Our staff should be made to feel that it is extremely important to have open communication with their players. Many times you will find that one of your players will come up with information that turns out to be very helpful the second half. Also, the coach needs to know, for instance, if a receiver can beat a corner on an out route or a streak, or if an offensive lineman can reach a down defender on outside plays.

Period Three – Half Time OrganizationAs soon as each position coach has met with his players, both the offense and defense meet with their coordinators to tie the schemes together. You should allow 4 to 5 minutes for this period.

Period Four – Half Time OrganizationWith about 8 minutes remaining the person in charge of keeping time will give a 5-minute warning. At this time your coaches with press box responsibilities and your team captains should leave the locker room for the field. The head coach will take control at this point and the offense and defense join together for final instructions. It is the job of the head coach to finalize all strategy and goals and to motivate the squad for the second half. This time period lasts usually not more than 3 to 4 minutes. The team then departs for the second half.

Bus Assignments and Routines for Away Games

When traveling out of town our coordinators will be responsible for taking roll of players and coaches assigned to their buses when leaving for and returning from away games. The defense will always be assigned bus number one. Our buses will not pull out of the parking lot until both coordinators have notified the head coach that all their athletes are loaded onto their assigned buses.

Position coaches will help in loading the buses and to make sure all necessary equipment has been placed on the buses. Due to the amount of equipment needed for an away game by our trainers please lend a helping hand and assist our trainer and his staff.Coach Boehm and Coach Perez will be responsible for handing out sack lunches to our athletes when scheduled, sack lunches will be provided by subway sandwiches. Please make sure our athletes take only one sack lunch.

When on the road Uncle Mutts will provide our post game meal. This is an important time to make sure our visiting locker room has been left the way it was found. All position coaches will lend a helping hand to make sure this is done. Coach Boehm and Coach Perez will supervise our athletes outside as they get their plates. Once we have finished eating it will be the responsibility of all our coaches to help patrol the eating area and that all plates have been thrown into trash cans (leave the eating area clean).Coach Newman will return from all away games with Coach Hackney in order to get our game film duped and ready.

Double Jump in Succession: Rope under each twice 5 times.

Each athlete participating in our after school lifting program will be encouraged to jump rope continuoisly for 18 minutes. Once our athletes have started the off-season program they will be given a goal of 18 minutes of jump roping without the rope stopping during that time. Our athletes will be tested in May to test wheather or note if the goal has been reached.

18 minutes of continous jumping achieves numerous goals such as developing great feet, attacks the mental aspects of working through a tough task (when the body says stop the mind says keep going). A player mentally will hit the wall at about 8 to 9 minutes into the activity and will want to quit, but, this is where he must continue to push through the pain and endure the goal.

Don't Worry If The Horse Is Blind,Just Load The Wagon! - John Madden

Belief Coach Campbell

January 08, 2007

What we are doing is not nearly as important as how we are going to get our desired results. If we believe in what we are doing with ever fiber of our being, we will create a powerful force. Leave No Doubt you believe in yourself, team, and coaches!

Now This Is The Law Of The Jungle As Old and As True As The Sky and The Wolf That Shall Keep It May Prosper, But The Wolf That Shall Break It Must Die, As The Creeper That Girdles The Tree Trunk, The Law runneth Forward and Back, For The Strength Of The Pack Is In The Wolf, and The Strength Of The Wolf Is In The Pack.

Unity is putting your teammates first and yourself second. The success of the team, family, or group depends on you doing your part. Each individual has a role to play that contributes to the overall success of the team. A group that has good unity has synergism. Synergism means the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

We are only as strong as the people who surround us and they are only as strong as you. Can we depend on you and can you trust the pack? Can the pack depend on and trust you?

Unity Coach Taylor

January 16, 2007

Discipline means following through on your commitment to the mission and plan. Discipline is doing the right things at the right time.

One of the biggest reasons people fail is because there is a lack of discipline. It requires sacrifice, dedication and commitment. Will you take the easy way out or that you will consistently do what is right to reach our ultimate team goal.

The Pain Of Discipline Is LessThan The Pain Of Regret

Discipline Coach Stewart

January 22, 2007

To have resolve, you must first develop a mission of what you want to achieve as an individual and as a team. It is based on correct principles that are fundamental guidelines of how we conduct and govern ourselves.

Resolve entails the process of preparation and properly conditioning yourself. The process incorporates objectives, procedures, timetables, daily practices, and workout schedules. It is up to you to have the resolve to stick with the program and be consistent.

Press On! Nothing in the world can take the place of persistance. Talent will not. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not. Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not. The world is full of educated derelicts. Persistance and determination alone are a must. I will resolve to wake up everyday and do whatever it takes to reach our mission. Consistency is the true mark of a champion!

Success Demands Singleness of Purpose - Vince Lombardi

Resolve Coach McCarter

January 29, 2007

Often success doesn't go to the swiftest, but to the one who is the most persistent and determined.

* At 22, he ran for legislature and lost* By the ripe age of 23 he had failed in business, not once, but twice!* At 26, he suffered a nervous breakdown.* At 28, he lost in effort to become Speaker of The House in State Legislature.* Five years later he ran for congress and was defeated again.* At 38 he ran for the Senate and lost that to.* He ran for Vice President and lost that too.

Who was this miserable failure? The 16th President of The United States - Abraham Lincoln.

Whatever the team does we must never give in. There are many things that are out of our control, this is the one thing that we will always have a say in. Hold on to the rope and whatever life throws us as a team and as individuals that we will still be standing together in the end.

Men Do Not Fail, They Just Give Up To Easy. Never Quit!

Perseverance Coach Eblen

The Pain Of Discipline Is LessThan The Pain Of Regret

General Douglas MacArthur said, "there is no secruity in this life, only opportunity". Courage is an act of the will, have the courage to go after your dreams. Do what is right and that you will have faith in yourself and the team and will seize opportunities when they present themselves to us.

Courage enables one to face a difficult situation or problem head on. We must do what we feel is right and not give in to the popular view of others.

Courage Coach Barnett

February 12, 2007

Starting February 26, 2007 thru March 2, 2007

Goal Setting

During the month of February we will start to goal set with our individual position players. Goal setting is a hughly powerful technique that can yield strong returns in all areas of our lifes. In its simplest form goal setting helps individuals and teams choose those things we want to be, do, or have in life. Some goals will be athletic, some will be academic, some will be career oriented, some will involve family, team or friends and some spiritual.

After setting goals with our position players, we must help develop a plan to help them achieve those goals. We must be able to take a serious look at where we are currently and what steps need to be taken in order to reach our goals. There are four main steps that will be discussed in helping our athletes with their goals both as individuals and as a team. They are as follows:

Step 1 - Set Your Goal - Make it specific, measurable and attainable

Step 2 - Categorize Your Goal - Athletic, academic, career, family, spiritual, etc.

Step 3 - Reason For Your Goal - Why?

Step 4 - develop an Action plan - How are you going to reach this goal?

As a coaching staff when meeting with our position players we must encourage communication and explore with our athletes the goal setting process for each of their goals set. If you do this with our athletes and sincerely put a great effort towards them exploring their individual and team goals that there will be know doubt that they will become more assertive, focused, confident, and experience more success than ever before. Help turn their dreams into goals and their intentions into actions.

Coaches please take these sessions with your athletes seriously. After completing your goal sessions with your athletes please provide me a copy. Once you have completed your sessions I then will set down with each one and review their goals with them as well.

Coaches also use the following pages to goal set with your individual position players. Once these have been completed I will begin to set up home visits with parents.

2007 Summer Off-Season Running Program

Stances - The first item will be the concentration on a good stance, stances will be done using an actual football related stance by position played. Each coach will be expected to focus on each athlete and to make sure that they perform the stance as dictated by the program.

a. Athletes will be required to be in a 3 point stance, all down hands will be from finger tips.b. Feet shoulder with apart.c. Feet will be with toes pointed slightly inward, with heels pointed outward (this creates a flat back).d. Eyes will be focused straight ahead, with the back heels of the feet only slightly off the floor.e. Heels no more than a 1/2 inch off the floor.

Lung Walks -Back knee down front leg forward - Show your numbers - Shoulders Opposite the punch Mach "A's" (walk for form) - Hammer & Nail, don't beat the drum - Knees above the waist - toes to the sky - eyes on the prize - Show your numbers

High Knees (with speed)Hammer & Nail, don't beat the drum - Knees above the waist - toes to the sky - eyes on the prize - Show your numbers

Mach "B's" - Hammer & Nail, don't beat the drum - Knees above the waist - toes to the sky - eyes on the prize - Show your numbers - Paw the ground

Butt Kick's - Hammer & Nail, don't beat the drum - Kick your self in the butt -eyes on the prize - Show your numbers

Quick Step Carrioca - Feet fire.

Regular Carrioca - Slow stretching action 10 to 15 yards

Right and Left Single Leg Power Skips - Stress Height and Arm Action

Bounding Drill (Gazelles) - Land and explode off of alternate foot (good running form)

Our summer off-season program that takes us outside will consist of the following activities. Our form running section will require all of our coaches involved and will also require each coach paying close attention to form and technique.

As a team activity we we start each row or activity with the team giving three claps after the start command from a coach. No athlete should be allowed not to clap, remember we start and finish as a team, if this is observed we will then start the row or activity over. The group must stay focused. Once our form run station has been completed we then will move right into our summer running program.

Our running program is divided much the same way as the weight room by changing the routine up on a daily basis, this is done to keep the interest of our athletes.

How To Run The Metabolic Speed Program

Metabolic Speed Program

Purpose: To simulate the running reqirements of an actual football game.

The goal of the metabolic running program is for our athletes to be able to complete three to four quarters of the program prescribed for their particular position. We will ask our athletes to find a partner and have them on their own after completing our after school weight lifting program perform only three quarters of the following illustrations on the next few pages, due to the demands from other aspects of our running and agility program during our athletic period. There are two rest periods per quarter and a rest period at the end of each quarter. Our athletes when performing their metabolic position running should go as fast as they can on each run, so as to gain the full effect of the speed program.

One of the features of the workout program is that our athletes can cover the distance suggested in any direction. So, they can simulate not only straight ahead speed but, also movements that simulate their particular position.

Examples:

1. Receivers can run particular patterns for the distances suggested.2. Offensive guards and tackles can pull, zone step, or pass protect.3. Linebackers and defensive backs can work their drops (backpedal).4. Offensive backs can run sweeps, slants, or pass patterns.

Each position is programed individually to bouts of exercise and rest that simulates playing requirements. (see following pages for individual programs). As mentioned, our athletes should run the distance described as fast as possible and then rest for the alloted time. It is important to go "all out" for each bout of exercise and only rest as outlined. The metabolic program is divided into quarters with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter being replications of the first quarter.

During our off-season and the time we spend performing the metabolic speed program we should keep track of our quarter times and total exercise time. As our athletes become better conditioned, the quarter times and total time should be less. A comparison of the 1st to 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters should indicate their degree of football endurance and if their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th quarter time is more than their 1st quarter time, they should spend additional effort to develop more endurance (additional distance running).

This program can be run alone but, it will be easier if they have a partner to run the watch and mark the spot they have to run to. Our athletes must strive to only rest 15 seconds (not 14 or 16 seconds), and to run every yard suggested distance.

The suggested furthest distance run is a 50 yard area, or use the football field. The person helping their partner goes to the spot they are to run to, and tells you when to start. Once the athlete crosses the line they are running to, the person keeping time starts the fifteen second rest time, while at the same time, he then goes to the next yard marker the partner has to run to. The partner keeping the time will give a 3-2-1 call and you are off and running to him once more. This procedure continues until all 26 runs have been completed. This will then consitute one quarter. You will wait 3 minutes and repeat all 26 runs again. At half time you will rest 5 minutes and then go through the 3rd quarter as you did the first two quarters. In the beginning our athletes may find it difficult to complete two quarters, but they should start with two quarters and progress to three quarters.
