The most important thing you can during #TXHSFBCHAT is answer Qs and engage with other coaches. You learn by explaining your process and discussing with others!

A1: Fundamentals are imperative. There will be no use for game planning if our technique is subpar. With that said, about 70/30 (technique) in predistrict, 60/40 (technique) during district and 50/50 in playoffs. Just estimates!#TXHSFBCHAT
A1: Spend about 25-40% on positions specific technique but then most of the other parts of practice incorporate all those techniques.
Another 25-40% on group or hook up drills.
Each time we are working on playbook we are working towards those small techniques items. #txhsfbchat
A1: Each practice, we may get 10-15 minutes early on strictly for skills, as the season goes, we have to incorporate it more into play specific use #TXHSFBCHAT
Q1 A1, @txhsfbchat#TXHSFBCHAT during 2 a days we try to get in as much individual as possible knowing when school starts that will be scaled back. Once in season we have at least 20-30 min of individual each day. It is straight fundamentals.
A1:At least 1/2 of practice is concentrated on indy work w/pos. technique focus. Practice format allows us to move from individual drills into group into team scheme by doing game situation work in the middle (perimeter/inside drill) where we may get scheme w/scout #txhsfbchat
A1: Individual periods broken down as EDD and Schematic. 80/20 EDD fall camp, 60/40 season, 50/50 post season. QB/RB mesh, WR getoffs, CB Jam tech examples of EDD, example of something e do every single day #TXHSFBCHAT
I don't want to ruin everything but is there a question about how much your playbook influences what you work on during individual time or does it go the other way around? What influences what? #TXHSFBCHAT

A1) EDD's or everyday drills should be performed for about 40% to 50% of your practice at the beginning of the season. Athletes need to be able to perform the fundamental footwork, actions, and techniques before implementing the playbook. #TXHSFBCHAT

A2: I really want both/and when learning. How can I take the technique and implement it into a tactic or scheme? In turn, it would help the players with the “Why” of the drill. #TXHSFBCHAT
A2: Technique will always overrule the tactical part because if your technique at any position isn't second nature than your kids are worried about doing their technique correctly rather than what they need to do on a play #TXHSFBCHAT
A2: I tend to gravitate to the more technical learning. I enjoy watching OL coaches work technique on YouTube and seeing what and how I can apply it to our scheme #TXHSFBCHAT
Q2 A2 @txhsfbchat#TXHSFBCHAT I'm 50/50. Big on fundamentals, like to keep it simple. Sometimes we get caught up in the tactical part of the game and forget technique. I'm always open to learning new things. What I love about this job is our differences in coaching styles
A2) You should have a technique for every tactic. Game specific tactic or scheme needs to be addressed during individual, then applied during group, then executed during team. #TXHSFBCHAT

#TXHSFBCHAT I coach QBs so most of our EDDs come during our warm up due with throwing techinuqe and footwork. We start with the release and build the throw down to the drop and feet.
A1) early season we are working fundamental skills in Indy about 80% of the time. We will go over play specific stuff like steps, reads, etc the other 20. By end of season it’s probably closer to 50/50 split
#txhsfbchat
A3: If I had to rank em at DB position, they’d go as follows:
1) Tackling - I tackle and coach up any discrepancies.
2) Footwork - EDDs with pedaling, opening, stick foot, etc. Implement the ball as much as possible.
3) Reads - Both ball read & route read drills #TXHSFBCHAT
A3) For LBs it is always eye/read progression and balanced movement. Drill it with scouts giving o-line looks for zone, down, pass and pull blocks while having backers "read-step" in reaction to the looks in-balance and in-control. #TXHSFBCHAT
A3: The core techniques we work are steps and hand position. We drill them everyday whether I have 30 minutes or 5 minutes. We use fit and finish to work step and hand placement. Pass pro circuit to work step and punch. Sleds as well for step and hand fit #TXHSFBCHAT
Q3 A3 @txhsfbchat#TXHSFBCHAT Stance,Foot placement, Hand Placement, break it down into 3 different drills with constant repetition. I always try to come up with funny pneumatic device to get the kids to remember where hands and feet need to be.
A3) LB's should be built from the ground up. Footwork is essential. Agility drills over bags, Read-Reaction drills, etc. LB's can't tackle anybody if they can't get there. #TXHSFBCHAT
A4 Let the little things go a fix it on film in meetings or share the notes. Fix the big overwhelming things that greatly affect what they are doing. #TXHSFBCHAT
A4: I go with @CoachJezek on this one. Teach much more in film than on the field. However, I will always try to give feedback (one the fly) every play. #TXHSFBCHAT
A4) Coach on the run! Quick correction so as not to interrupt the flow of practice. Each position coach should be watching his position and correct the athletes after each play. #TXHSFBCHAT
A1:
1) 20-30 minutes usually.
Preseason: most drills I work are directly related to our install for that day. Easy to explain the WHAT, HOW, AND WHY.
Midseason: mostly individual technique. Constantly working w/each safety to find what works for them. #TXHSFBCHAT.
2) I'm blessed w/high IQ Safeties so we go over game plan adjusts on the fly.
Late/Postseason: Game plan specific. Technique should take care of itself by now. Will do some fundamental work to clean up anything that needs it. #TXHSFBCHAT
Q5: If you have a player who has great technique and you know he uses a personal trainer, would you try to meet with the trainer to improve your own coaching? #TXHSFBCHAT
Q4 A4 @txhsfbchat#TXHSFBCHAT during play you have to coach on the run. I'm big on using different technique from week to week showing the kids how it correlates to our opponent. During film I ask for player input & try to put that in our weekly plan if I feel it is beneficial
Right! You have to have your buzzwords! There's no time to get upset and have a fit. You have to be able to provide quick verbal cues that stick with the kids #TXHSFBCHAT

HSSocialMedia : RT txhsfbchat: Q5: If you have a player who has great technique and you know he uses a personal trainer, would you try to meet with the trainer to improve your own coaching? #TXHSFBCHAT
A5: I always talk to the kid about what does that coach say that I don't. When they go to camps or trainers because I don't want to hear coach talk. I want to hear what the kid hears. Don't matter what you say, only thing that matters is what they understand #TXHSFBCHAT
Q5: If you have a player who has great technique and you know he uses a personal trainer, would you try to meet with the trainer to improve your own coaching? #TXHSFBCHAT
A5: I have no problem with kids using trainers as long as they are ready to play for us. If they are doing something I like, I want to know where they learned it. I would love to see a positive dialogue develop between the school coaches & the private coaches #TXHSFBCHAT
A4: Coach on the move, always give technique feedback, pos or negative. “Way to get get on the DB’s toes” “Great job attacking the high point” ..reinforce the tech they did correctly often gets forgotten. #TXHSFBCHAT
