Practice Philosophy and Guidelines for Coaches
The 150% Factor
Utilization of practice time is of utmost importance. We must have practice segments organized to the minute. Each segment will last 5 minutes but not longer than 10 minutes in duration. Each segment should be coached to its fullest potential and once the period is over then we must proceed to the next period, no exceptions. By sticking to this routine, it forces us to coach hard and to near game like situation. Coaches must stay aware of the time and practice segment we are in.
Coaches are to get as much “talking” done as possible before going onto the field. We do not want to slow down the tempo of practice. Enthusiasm is a vital role in a good practice. By standing around and “talking” to our players will sometimes slow down their intensity. Players need to know that when they step onto the grass they must be a 150% player as well as the coach being a 150% coach to his players. Our practices should be sharp, enthusiastic, with lots of hustle. This can only be possible if we have
“A Unified Coaching Staff” which means all 39 football coaches involved in the “Viper” football program demanding the same style of play. Be Positive … Coach up and make our players the best that they can be, each player should be made to feel important to the overall success of the program.
As a staff we must stress to our players the importance of a great work ethic. If our opponent runs 10 – 100 yard sprints then we must run 10 better. It is my belief as the Head Football Coach is that if we are going to change the attitude of our players then we must change the attitude and expectations of our self’s as coaches for what it takes to win and go the distance. The little Things Make The Difference, I Will Never Compromise My Beliefs, and Our Expectations of a Quality Practice(150% effort) and The Time It Takes To Prepare To Compete as A Top 5-A Football Program.. If we are to win on Friday night, then we must prepare Monday through Thursday as players; and Monday through Sunday as coaches. We must want to practice the basic fundamentals of football everyday. We must want to be fundamentally sound, physically and mentally tough.
