Coach and Coordinator Podcast Champions: Programming and Practice Structure of 4x State Champion – Eric Kjar, Head Coach, Corner Canyon High School (UT)
In coaching and in life, how you do things is as important as what you do. In Draper, Utah, Eric Kjar has done an incredible job constructing the how and what behind his 4x state champion Corner Canyon Chargers.
Corner Canyon finished the 2023 season ranked #13 nationally by MaxPreps. In seven seasons as the CCHS head coach, Eric has a record of 87-7.
In this episode, Coach Kjar talks about the approach he’s taken and details behind Corner Canyon’s strength and speed programming, as well as their practice structure. Then we take a look into their high-powered offense, which averaged 47.6 points per game, including a successful screen game that alone produced 1,100 yards in 2023.
