Welcome to another edition of #GAHSFBCHAT coaches!
Tonight we will discuss the upcoming Spring Football Season.
Let's kick things off with introductions.
Whose in the house tonight?
#Culture4Coaches
To master fundamentals and basic techniques. In classroom teaching “mastery” is defined as 80%. But in my book it’s 95% on the field. Always stuff to work on. To find out who the DUDES are, and to find out what we have to work on during the summer #GAHSFBCHAT
A2: Will make sure that we put a lot of emphasis on our base stuff. However, I plan to throw A LOT at them at certain points of the spring to see whose going to put in the extra time and effort to learn the system.
#GAHSFBCHAT
Rather be good at a few things than average at a whole lot. Want to master the basics, and build a cohesive unit where all 11 can execute their job in their sleep. Will add subtle tags here and there #GAHSFBCHAT
A2: for defense we don’t try to set a percentage, really depends on the kids and what they can adjust, I’m a huge stickler about gettting lined up correctly, if you don’t, your “stuff” doesn’t matter any ways. #GAHSFBCHAT
A1) Our goal is to install our fundamentals: base formations, defining plays, and to identify role and impaft players to improve our ability to be successful next season. #gahsfbchat
Q3: What new practice items are you looking to install this spring? (Doing something different than you've done in the past)
#GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
A2) I can speak to the offense more so then the D, but the plan is to out in our two base run plays, our quick game, and our 5-step drops we normally run in summer #GAHSFBCHAT
A3) Open competition. I think we all go into this time a year knowing what we have, but our fears or palyers becoming complacent. Keep that fire going and make them earn every snap. #GAHSFBCHAT
A3: "Pre-Pre Practice" position meetings. Each position coach will let each of his players know exactly what he wants them to focus on each practice. Will have a quick post practice meeting to analyze performance.
#GAHSFBCHAT
A3: I want to emphasize to my guys stepping up and taking a bigger role of the defense this year. I personally believe (total bias) that the d-line will be strength of the defense this year. #GAHSFBCHAT
A3: I think it’s important to always try to get fresh new ideas and drills to bring to ur team. I went to one local university and also traveled to an out of state SEC school to watch practice and get some new ideas #Culture4Coaches#GAHSFBCHAT
A4: Get kids on film for evaluation. We are not playing another team, but scrimmaging. We want to make sure we get eyes on kids to see who is above our line. #GAHSFBCHAT
A4: Instilling toughness and trying to find some depth. The kids worked so hard in the weight room during the winter, they deserve a chance to be great. But football like life, isn’t always fair, so the work has to be put in. #GAHSFBCHAT
A4: definitely want to compete and see who will compete when the lights are on. And definitely want to get good film for evaluation. Want to win but the emphasis is to get better. You can’t win the region or state in May #Culture4Coaches#GAHSFBCHAT
Setting tone for 2018 season. Performing and executing to the best of our abilities. Want to find out who the DUDES are. Guys who will give RELENTLESS effort because they love their team and teammates. Using summer to tweak mistakes. #GAHSFBCHAT
A4: Just getting playing time. Seeing who is going to compete. Who can do the basics most consistently. And figuring out what we need to emphasize for Summer. #GAHSFBCHAT
Performance will play a major role since I’ll be walking into a new system. Need to see who is capable of making plays to help us succeed. #GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
HUGE......but I hope there are some battles that won’t be decided until late in fall camp. Competition breeds better players. Want each kid to go through entire season to have a PURPOSE #GAHSFBCHAT
A5: depth chart is fluid. But spring football is a good evaluation tool. This will allow for some personnel questions to be answered #Culture4Coaches#GAHSFBCHAT
A5: It will give me an idea going into Summer, but I don't know who's starting Week 1 on the Monday before the game. I don't set starters. I want kids to compete. I had 6 or 7 different starting lineups last year in 12 games. #GAHSFBCHAT
A5: Huge, for varsity and jv, this is the first time we have seen some of these kids after getting stronger and faster over the winter. Fingers crossed they bring the weight room to the field. #GAHSFBCHAT
A4) It's healthy competition. We do it for the kids and the community. Enough plays to let them get a few drives together and build that camaraderie they will need for the season. #GAHSFBCHAT
A6: we are very fortunate in our town, we have wonderful community and fan support. We have fans that come to our practices and spring games. Football is important to everyone. #GAHSFBCHAT
A5) It will help us with determing emphasis for players, whether offense or defense. From there we will determine depth, but we open it back up for Fall for move-ins. #GAHSFBCHAT
Q7: Will you have an intersquad scrimmage (even if you have a scrimmage vs. another team)? If so, what will you look to accomplish?
#GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
Q7: Yes, we will compete against each other and see who is willing to compete! If you aren’t willing to compete everyday then you are already prepared to lose💯 #GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
A7) Our only Inner Squad is our Spring Game, unless we need to really identify something with our unknown players. While looking for depth or really trying to identify what side of the ball a kid will have the best chance of play time on. #GAHSFBCHAT
Q3: What new practice items are you looking to install this spring? (Doing something different than you've done in the past)
#GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
Q3: What new practice items are you looking to install this spring? (Doing something different than you've done in the past)
#GAHSFBCHAT#Culture4Coaches
A8: No injuries. Players I didn't expect to step up. Good fundamentals heading into Summer. And GAC announcing that they cancelled their football program. #GAHSFBCHAT
A8: no major injuries, develop physical football team, find a couple hidden gems, be proficient and sound in all schemes that have been installed #GAHSFBCHAT
A8: if we accomplish more of our spring goals then not. I’m not concerned with winning the game, I do want to compete and get some new personnel questions answered and good film for evaluation purposes. #Culture4Coaches#GAHSFBCHAT
Q7: Will you have an intersquad scrimmage (even if you have a scrimmage vs. another team)? If so, what will you look to accomplish?
