Any insights would be great. Thanks, Coach Murph

One that I like beside winning the game is a first down on every first series. Coach Campbell

We let our players set the game goals, offensively and defensively. The most common things they have included over the years have been

No sacks,
Average 6 yards per run
Score 20 plus points
No turnovers
etc...

You should consider letting your seniors in on the offensive goal setting. It's been a very positive thing for our program.

We set goals such as:

1. 12 1st downs
2. 5 or fewer missed blocking assignments
3. Score every time we are in the red zone.
4. Score a TD every time we are in the Green zone (10 yds or in)
5. No 3 and outs
6. No fumbles
7. 40 yds or less in penalties

There is no substitute for guts!

I was wondering about statistical goals as well. For example: 200 yds rushing, 150 passing, etc. Or do you change it based on opponents? Thoughts?

Coach -

I base that on what I project our offensive strategy for the year is going to be. Last year, we had a very good RB therefore our rushing goal was adjusted to reflect that...this year, we return all our receivers and our QB...I expect to throw the ball more this year, therefore my passing yd goal is going to be adjusted up. I've never adjusted on a per week basis, but that doesn't mean that it is a bad idea...I would certainly consider it. pdow

I am curious to hear what you guys think about this. I think the best way to perform at a high level more consistently is to make your ultimate goal "to play the best game you are capable of playing", both individually and as a team. If that is always your goal, then wins and losses will take care of itself, and you won't have the sub par performances you get when comparing yourself to your opponents (especially weaker or "superior" opponents).

It is just my opinion but I have rarely found those kinds of numerical goals useful.
You win ugly but don't reach goals are you unhappy? You lose but reach goals are you happy? Week in and week out rushing for 200 as a goal vs completely different opponents is meaningless to me. But I am not a stat freak. Most of the time I could care less about stats...yes, I keep them and look at them but aside from seeng what we need to practice more I don't dwell on them.

Coach P -

I understand what your position, however my belief is that a goal-oriented approach is beneficial in that you have a means of sort by which to measure the team's performance. Granted, gaining 450 yds in a loss certainly doesn't take the sting out...however, your first stated goal should always be "Team Win" and all other goals are secondary to that one....but the most beneficial reason I believe to have an objective/goal system is to teach your kids the importance of goal-setting...and as I look back over the course of the last 3 years, in games we achieved at least 65% of our weekly goals, we lost twice. pdow

Coach Pdow,

I tend to agree with you. I like the idea of teaching goal setting. Obviously #1 is win the game. I find that the goals help with focus as well. Not only during game day preps, but during film review, position meetings, etc. I have also found that sometimes it can become a distraction as well. Anyone else find this?

ZERO TURNOVERS. Score 24 or more points. Defense- Create one turnover per half. The opponents final score must be in single digits (0-9). Lou Cella

Coaches,

I'm close to Coach Cella's camp. Here are or JV goals.

Offense -
1) score 29 or more points
2) score every trip into the green zone (inside the 35) - (touchdowns inside the 15)
3) rush for 175+ yards
4) pass for 100+ yards
5) no turnovers
6) no 1st and 15's
7) no delay of game penalties

Defense -
1) hold opponent to 13 points or less
2) hold opponents to less than 100 yards rushing
3) hold opponents to less than 100 yards passing
4) create 4 turnovers - taking away 2
5) do not allow opponent to cross our 20
6) create negative gains
7) create 3 and outs

Special Teams -
1) create 3 turnovers - taking away 2
2) perfect kickoffs (kick inside of 7 - hold opponent to less than 15 yard return)
3) percect punts (punt 40+ yards - hold opponent to less than 10 yard return)
4) perfect PATs/FGs
5) perfect kickoff returns (all assignments accounted for - 25+ yard return)
6) 1st punt blocked
7) perfect punt returns (all assignments accounted for - 15+ yard return)
8) 1st PAT/FG blocked
9) NO successful fakes
10)NO 25+ yard FGs
11)perfect PAT/FG block (outside pressure - one man layed out - opposite scooper in place)

We hold our special teams to higher standards than the offense or defense. We do this because there are fewere opportunities to make things happen.

We film every game and review it Friday afternoon after school. We also count up loafs and missed assignments. We also announce which 3 JVers get to stay and be a part of the Varsity sidelines. This is the third year for these goals and the response, pride, and determination by the players has been tremendous.

Just my 2 cents.
