Coach and Coordinator Podcast Recycle and Work It In: Late-Season Game Planning – Kyle Ohradzansky (Findlay), Jay Wilkinson (Fayetteville HS), John Tomlinson (USFL)
As we have talked about all season long, self-scouting plays a crucial role in understanding the team's strengths, identifying effective plays, and gaining an advantage over opposing defenses.
The late season isn’t the time for something new. It’s the time for what has been the best for you. In this episode, three offensive coordinators from the high school, college, and pro levels focus on what goes into the game plan and how it is worked in during the later weeks of the season.
As these coaches point out, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, what you know about the opponent, and being creative and methodical about how you present concepts in the late season helps create a winning formula.
