Eagle High School
Boise, Idaho
Philosophy toward the position
Our receivers are taught the techniques of receiver play by looking at the positions needs. We break the techniques required to play wide receiver into eight distinct categories.

The release - which includes the escape versus press coverage and the drive release versus hard or soft coverage.
The stem.
Body control - which includes the head-fake or head-bob and body mechanics at the break point.

Quarterback - The Position
By Scott Criner
Offensive Coordinator
Eagle High School
Boise, Idaho
Philosophy toward the position
We look for certain traits when recruiting our quarterbacks. These traits can be broken down into seven distinct qualities that we want in every quarterback in our program.
Mental and Physical Toughness â€" Go to a game and watch them get up from a big hit after they have thrown a pass. How does he respond to teammates in tight situations' How does he respond after throwing an interception, or how does he handle adversity'
Intelligence â€" Does he understand the system that he is currently playing in' Does he make good on the field decisions' Is he a good student and does he work for his academic success (good study habits)'
Competitiveness â€" Does he demonstrate a highly competitive demeanor' Is he vocal' Does his body language look like a confident competitive person' All great quarterback’s will have that certain something that separates them from the pack â€" they will carry themselves much like an “Alpha Wolf†â€" looking for competition.
Imagination â€" Does he use all the tools that are available to him' Does he make the play that makes you say â€" “wowâ€Â' It could be a shovel pass while scrambling or that late pitch after ducking the ball up on an option play. It can manifest itself in the form of a pass that is fit into just the right spot, where no one can catch the ball but his receiver. I call it “a River Boat Gambler†â€" someone who can make something out of nothing.
Vision and Perception â€" Does he see the field' Does he see what the defense is giving him and further does he know how to attack that given look'
Analytical know-how- Does the coach tell you that the young man likes video time' Is he spending time beyond what is considered the normal hours for coaching and teaching to watch and learn the game' Can he get in on the board and talk to you about defensive coverage and front alignment'
Weight Room Habits â€" We want a quarterback who likes and uses the weight room to improve and enhance the above mentioned attributes needed for the position. ...
