Hello everyone.
I am a first time coach fresh off finishing my playing career. I love the game and think I have a good knowledge of how it should be played, and I am interested in expanding my knowledge on the coaching side of the game. Is there any good books that anyone would suggest for a long-time football guy that is fairly new to coaching? Not necessarily on the technical side, but more of an introduction.
Thank you for all your help

) works on reaction time and quickness and its a good toughness drill IMO. Plus it's fun. Don't just give the ball to your standard ball carriers, as the Center I received the ball in the Nut Kracker more times than I can recall not and I only played Fullback on a Goalline Touchdown play that was in a blowout game. Also the Bull in Ringer is a good one. We also did one where we kind of sumo'd it out. Anything goes aside from actual violence (punching kicking etc,) Leg sweeps, straight up tackling w/e it takes to get the other guy down. Fun drill and good toughness drill. At that level you don't need so much conditioning as Fundemental work and toughness drills to see who your ball players are and just the guys who are their to play a sport. Running sideline to sideline and laps is about all the major running you should ever do.
