    Q1: How can you change the coaching of your position to improve performance next season? #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: I'd like to incorporate more of the big picture of what we want accomplished into the teaching of the skill or technique. I would like to see more transfer from drill to film #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CoachHolmG Dec 26 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A2: second year in this system. Execution, execution, execution. While the overall look is pretty complex , our rules are very simple. The better we execute CORRECTLY the more dominant we will be. (1/2) #TXHSFBCHAT
  • MyGAOnline Dec 26 @ 9:15 PM EST

    Q2: What part of coaching your position will you keep the same next season? #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CoachHolmG Dec 26 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: Tackle everyday. While we were not terrible, we definitely have room for improvement. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: Will definitely keep the sleds. I think it brings a toughness and workman's mentality to the execution of the steps #TXHSFBCHAT

      A2. Continue talking less. Let athletes lean ‘in’ the drill. Less telling. More question based guided discovery.

    A1) I need to clean up the reads and drills for our middle stack backer. Kid was all state despite my ability to “clean up” his reads. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CoachMac8740 Dec 26 @ 9:21 PM EST
    #TXHSFBCHAT just here to observe
  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2)Our EDDs. I think the boring consistency of our EDDs, work. #TXHSFBCHAT

    Constructive being the key word. When you use correction or praise as a moment of positive instruction, it helps bring home what you want accomplished #TXHSFBCHAT

  • coachbronk Dec 26 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A1). I’m always evaluating how I coach my individual position group. To me it’s getting better at my craft my making sure my drills or up to date & tie into what we are doing offensively. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:24 PM EST
    Q3: What do you believe is(are) the big thing(s) you and your team need to do in order to achieve the goals you have for your team? #TXHSFBCHAT

  • coachbronk Dec 26 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A2). Some of our Pre-Practice Drill work was very productive and I felt like we got a lot out of it to get us ready for practice. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:26 PM EST
    Q3) Strength and get older. We had 8 seniors, while we will still be undersized, it be nice to close the gap a little. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • mikestauffer Dec 26 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A1: Restructure practices, hopefully 2 platoon and get more indo time. Little more film and white board time wouldn’t hurt either. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • coachbronk Dec 26 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3). Being more consistent and intentional at what we do in all 3 phases of the game. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    2 platoon is the dream!!!! #TXHSFBCHAT
    In reply to @mikestauffer
  • CoachHolmG Dec 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: Leadership, Discipline, Love. We need to promote a championship culture that encourages our kids to lead correctly. Our discipline will continue to become better this offseason as we continue to build in the right direction. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • mikestauffer Dec 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A2: The base fundamental drills and the way I structure them weekly. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • Coach_Stone_MT Dec 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A1 Start using @justplayfb for my players and give quizzes and read and reaction drills for my QBs and the Offense #TXHSFBCHAT

  • coachbronk Dec 26 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3). 1 of the things that stood out to me in the TXHSFB State Championship Games was all the teams played for each other, their coaches and their community. It was a complete buy in to what the program stood for. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3: We need maturity and leadership exhibited from our players. As the leadership council sponsor, I need to do a better job of helping develop their tools #TXHSFBCHAT
  • mikestauffer Dec 26 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3: Work harder, be more disciplined, increase effort and energy on a daily basis. Trust each other and trust the process. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:32 PM EST
    Q4: How will you improve yourself as a coach this off-season? #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:33 PM EST

    • CoachGabrielWF Dec 26 @ 9:32 PM EST
      I believe for our team to accomplish the goals we have it will take accountability From coaches to players. we must establish what those goals are then buy into them and keep each other on track in doing what’s needed to get the goals met.

    Q4. A lot of speaking and consulting. It really forces you to crystallize your thoughts, beliefs and explanations #TXHSFBCHAT

  • OpenCrossPlant Dec 26 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A2: Streamline everything even more. More reps in less time. Quicker installs. Shorter coaching points. CUT THE FAT! #txhsfbchat

  • CoachHolmG Dec 26 @ 9:35 PM EST
    One, focus on my family as much as possible. Two, payer. Three-continue to read, and go to clinics in an effort to learn more. 4-A, honestly evaluate my own performance throughout the season. 4-B pray for more patience in trying times. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • mikestauffer Dec 26 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A4: Continue to learn by reading, making visits, going to clinics, study all 3 phases of the game. Invest more time in kids outside of the weight room and practice field. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CoachMac8740 Dec 26 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A3)Complete buy in with no excuses. Work on being the best teammates we can be, not the best players we can be. Good players are everywhere, good teammates are becoming harder to find. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • coachbronk Dec 26 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A4). I’m always looking to get better at my craft. I start with my position group coaching & work my way to my coordinator role. I talk to coaches from all over the country about drills they run & I also talk to coaches who are philosophically in line with what we do. #TXHSFBCHAT

    Q5: What has been the best "outside the box" resource that has helped you professionally and personally? #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4)Jeez, there is so much to be better at, I think it’s working on the situational side of our 3-5. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • MyGAOnline Dec 26 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4: find people who are smarter than me and read. Every coach publishes something because they want to be right. Read enough and there are some truths across the board. #txhsfbchat
    In reply to @txhsfbchat
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:40 PM EST
    A4: I want to expand the methods I choose to learn. Fortunately I've seen an increase in virtual clinics to provide access to more coaches. I'm also a big reader, and I'm looking forward to the books I received! #TXHSFBCHAT

  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A5) I coached wrestling as track, two sports I knew nothing about. It forced we to to research and prepare differently. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • Coach_Stone_MT Dec 26 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4) Go to the @GlazierClinics and learn from the Best of the Best #TXHSFBCHAT

  • CODY_GARDNER Dec 26 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A5) Cont’ I guess starting a cooking and coaching vlog/podcast is out of the box. Should be a fun way to talk ball and meet a lot of great coaches. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:46 PM EST
    A5: I find myself looking for office management and leadership materials from the business world #TXHSFBCHAT
  • CoachMac8740 Dec 26 @ 9:47 PM EST
    A4)Watch, Read, Learn everyday. Go to a few clinics, try and find teams using schemes I think we might use and study them. Always try and learn something about motivation and organization. #TXHSFBCHAT
  • txhsfbchat - Moderator Dec 26 @ 9:48 PM EST

    A5). I’m not sure how out of the box talking to your Pastor is, but I’ve used him as a resource in the past. #TXHSFBCHAT
