    A2: for me it's more about picking up little things (a drill, reducing verbiage, a certain situation) #wvhsfbchat
  • tknipp9 Feb 26 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: Any more I am looking for drills, coaching points and culture. Scheme wise, I seek out staffs. #wvhsfbchat
  • honeycutt_cody Feb 26 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2: any and all. I'm young and need the info. Currently it's mostly been scheme. #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • canfbchat Feb 26 @ 9:21 PM EST

  • CoachDMsBeard Feb 26 @ 9:21 PM EST
    A2. I like to get some skill, scheme, and coaching philosophy. What ever I can learn to be a better football coach #wvhsfbchat
  • coach_hughes91 Feb 26 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2) currently trying to learn as much about schemes as possible, and how to teach/drill them. #WVHSFBChat

    A2 drills/scheme for me. I try to take a few things from each clinic to put in to work. #wvhsfbchat
  • LCGrizzlyFB Feb 26 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2) Mostly looking for different perspectives. Always a better way to skin a cat, love stealing new drills. #wvhsfbchat
  • canfbchat Feb 26 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2) primarily look for 3-4 things that I can actually use in the upcoming season. Whatever that may be #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachAdams9 Feb 26 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2 scheme. Make sure what are doing is sound, if not, how to help my kids so we are sound to what offenses do. #wvhsfbchat

  • LVCoachCamJones Feb 26 @ 9:25 PM EST
    #WVhsfbChat You can not fail, you can only learn and grow! Try to take at least one thing from the clinic!
    • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:24 PM EST
      Q3A: (if you have been around a while) what piece of advice would you give to a young coach just beginning to attend clinics? #wvhsfbchat
  • LCGrizzlyFB Feb 26 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3A) Don't think you know everything, be willing to sit down and talk about why they do what they do. #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachAdams9 Feb 26 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3 don't try to note everything. Take things you can apply to your program. Don't give yourself word vomit to take home. #wvhsfbchat
  • canfbchat Feb 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3b) when networking at the coaches social after a clinic: how much football do you talk? #wvhsfbchat
  • coachadkisson Feb 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3a. Take plenty of notes & don't come in late to sessions (drives me crazy) #wvhsfbchat
  • coach_hughes91 Feb 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3b) with so many relevant and informative sessions, how do you make up for the speakers you missed? #WVHSFBChat
  • slade248 Feb 26 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Q3A Take in all the coaching points you can, never assume you know it all. Always look to better yourself. #wvhsfbchat
    • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:24 PM EST
      Q3A: (if you have been around a while) what piece of advice would you give to a young coach just beginning to attend clinics? #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3A: don't try to attend every single session.... it's system overload, attend take notes go back and organize notes (repeat) #WVhsfbChat
  • MrCoachStephens Feb 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3A: even if you are an "offensive guy" go into the defensive room. That's where you learn about how football works. #wvhsfbchat
  • HarlowjohnH Feb 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3 if you think you know everything hang up the whistle. Always be willing to listen and learn. #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:29 PM EST
    Feel free to jump in and answer each other's questions. #WVhsfbChat
  • tknipp9 Feb 26 @ 9:29 PM EST
    A3: I would ask a coach "what advise he would give a young coach". As a young coach, I thought I knew all of the answers. #wvhsfbchat
  • LVCoachCamJones Feb 26 @ 9:30 PM EST
    When I first started going I use to type them up every night #OCD #WVHSFBChat
    • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:28 PM EST
      A3A: don't try to attend every single session.... it's system overload, attend take notes go back and organize notes (repeat) #WVhsfbChat
  • CoachAdams9 Feb 26 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3 go to a position you may not be familiar with and learn something. Or a scheme that may be different. #wvhsfbchat
  • honeycutt_cody Feb 26 @ 9:30 PM EST
    A3B: I would ask how do you sift through what's important and what's not? What's really important to know? #wvhsfbchat
    In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • honeycutt_cody Feb 26 @ 9:31 PM EST
    At this point it all seems important. It all seems like it will work. Just knowing what to narrow your focus down on. #wvhsfbchat
    • honeycutt_cody Feb 26 @ 9:30 PM EST
      A3B: I would ask how do you sift through what's important and what's not? What's really important to know? #wvhsfbchat
      In reply to @WVFBCHAT
  • tknipp9 Feb 26 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A3: I believe offensive guys should attend defensive sessions to learn how the other half think and vice versa. #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachAdams9 Feb 26 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A3 don't think you know it all. Football is a fair game that will humble you if you take it for granted. #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:32 PM EST
    Another piece of advice I'd give a head coach is try to doing for a room with a conference table if possible #wvhsfbchat
  • tknipp9 Feb 26 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3: cont'd, Find out what presents problems for the other. #wvhsfbchat
  • slade248 Feb 26 @ 9:34 PM EST
    Q3B How do you build relationships with your player's? All players are different in how they learn, so how do you communicate. #wvhsfbchat
    • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:25 PM EST
      Q3B: (if you are just getting started) what question would you ask a more seasoned coach about attending your first clinics? #wvhsfbchat
  • CoachAdams9 Feb 26 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A3 what do you do when you're away from the game as a hobby? #wvhsfbchat
  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Q4: what one topic would you like to see come up at a clinic more often and why? #wvhsfbchat
  • SharonCoach Feb 26 @ 9:36 PM EST
    #wvhsfbchat going to a clinic as a staff and debriefing after helps. Also have some specific things that you are looking for.

  • WVFBCHAT - Moderator Feb 26 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A4: I would like to see more high school drill tape, typically because of staff we only get game and team video. #wvhsfbchat

    In reply to @WVFBCHAT

    A5 it is no longer the future, it's now. Problem is that it will take away the interaction. It will allow more specific clinics #wvhsfbchat
