This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
Hey guys, its been a while since I have posted. Anyway I have a junior left tackle right now who played JV as a sophomore. He is about 6'5'' around the 300-310 range and he has decent form, and great leverage, but I just cannot seem to get him to exert his full effort. I rode him a little in practice today letting him know that he could at very worst be an all-region performer ( in probably the toughest region in the state) if he could get himself up to full speed. He has decent feet and decent technique. He needs alot of work because he is just a junior but he has the frame and pedigree (his dad played in the NFL) but whatever I am doing doesnt seem to be helping in terms of how he approaches the game. He just simply is a happy go lucky, never really gets to worked up type of kid, who might not even run to the shower if his hair was on fire. Any suggestions on how to get him going a little?
Put him in a LOT of competitive situations in practice, including live "1 on 1" blocking drills (for 6 seconds duration), ETC. Do this with ALL, so he won't feel "singled out"!
I agree with Coach Mountjoy. I have a kid who is a Soph. and is 6'4" and 300 lbs. His had no mean streak what so ever, until we did full speed one drills the first time he came off that ball "slow" and his ass got whipped by a smaller, weaker kid. It lit a fire him. I am trying to find a way to do these drills at least once per week. With him, nothing worked liked peer pressure. Good luck.
A Head Coaches job is to get his players to play above and beyond their regular abilities on game night! In order to do this, you have to FULLY COMPREHEND what motivates each player as an INDIVDUAL. PEER PRESSURE IS A GREAT MOTIVATOR FOR SOME, INDIVIDUAL PRAISE FOR OTHERS, BUTT CHEWINGS FOR OTHERS, ETC. My suggestion in these instances is to find out by REALLY LISTENING to your player in question, WHAT REALLY FLOATS HIS BOAT TO REALLY GET AFTER IT ON GAME NIGHT.

Thanks Jerry, I have been trying to read this kid for a while. One thing we do is a drill I call "Ironman" where you put two linement about 3 feet apart inside two Agile bags. The winner is the guy who forced his man beyond the dummy. The winner stays. He did well in this drill simply because he used good leverage and he weighs 300 pounds.
Anyway I know people are motivated by different things, I was just wondering if anyone had some suggestions. Ill keep working on him, because we have two more weeks until game time.
