Huge sheet of drills that you can use this season... As our seasons are about to start, never be caught without a drill for any position on the field. Hope everyone can use something in here.

Trent Dilfer said in his talk this morning that he spent $90,000 on nutrition for his football program this season (high school). I got our school to put a Gatorade machine in the commons so we are pretty much on the same level.

I don't post much defensive stuff- but double A gap blitz... If center blocks you, bail and spy- eventually gets in on the sack-- center can't be right. Tough spot for offenses.

Why do coaches want kids to lift in their schools with their teammates? Because when we go to the Y we see kids with $100 outfits and 50 cent squat form. Lifting under supervision of someone who can teach form, technique, and appropriate progressions is important.

Last year our staff wanted vests-- went with the Amazon Essentials version over the Nike/UA brand ones-- Had a local place embroider them for about $8/ an item. Ended up costing about $40/ each as opposed to $80- Great way to stretch the budget!
