Coach and Coordinator Podcast

On today’s Coach and Coordinator Podcast, we share a segment of the Virtual Football Summit with Jim Hilvert, Head Football Coach at Baldwin Wallace University. Coach Hilvert shares his philosophy on how to organize pre game from wake-up to kick off including on field pre game routine. Coach then discusses how he likes to handle in-game adjustments including giving each staff member a responsibility and avoiding the common mistake of coaches not having duties and becoming a fan instead of watching for specifics. He closes with his plan for half time and how they make that 15 minutes most productive in order to have a good second half plan.

Adjustment Series - Week 1 Add Stressors On Monday’s each week throughout the season, after a weekend of watching football, I will discuss adjustments on offense, defense, and special teams as well as discussion of adding wrinkles. We will also discuss how these changes can be implemented in practice. A few seasons ago I was talking with a coach on my podcast about in-season adjustments and he made a great point that any changes during the season should be “micro” adjustments. Those would be things like an adjustment versus a certain front on offense, a variation in alignment on defense, a refinement of technique, etc. “Macro” or big changes should be saved for the off season.Those would be like changing an offensive system or installing a completely new coverage. Those take a lot of time to install and get ready for game day. So our focus is on the “micro” changes in this series. Those are the things that can give you the edge you need to stay ahead of your competition. The focus today is on adding stressors to your game plan.

As coaches we work so hard to be sure we have taken care of every detail. It is critical for the success of our team. However, too many times I’ve seen a sideline that is in chaos with players and coaches yelling at officials. This is something that we need to eliminate in order to ensure the health of our game. The NFHS website sites this statistic: “According to the National Association of Sports Officials (NASO), registration of officials across the country is down about 30 percent this year. In Oregon, the number of football referees has dropped 34 percent compared to last year, and volleyball is down 45 percent. In a football officials association in California, nearly two-thirds of its members opted out of officiating this year.” The good news is that we have control of this and can be a positive influence on making the game day experience better for everyone, including the officials. In today's podcast Keith Grabowski shares the plan that he used to deal with official and establish a positive working relationship.

Head Coach at Army West Point Jeff Monken is known for having tough, disciplined football teams. At the Lauren's First & Goal Clinic he delivered a talk on the 7 Commandments of Winning Football, and one of those was to eliminate missed assignments and foolish penalties. Part of being mentally tough is controlling what we have control of as players and coaches. From the coaching side we have to teach our players to be disciplined and know their assignments. As we continue to prepare for the season and move through the schedule we can't be too quick to blame our players; we are completely responsible for preparing them and holding both ourselves and them accountable.
