Assistant coach advice from one to another..
Write down EVERYTHING. Keep EVERYTHING.. practice schedules for example.
Find a binder or start making notebooks. Soak up anything and everything.
You will be able to go back and find nuggets from anything you liked OR did not like.

Alabama HS Football should be able to go shells in the summer.. Georgia seems to do fine with it.
If done the right way, it might be safer in some ways. Definitely more prepared for the physicality the game requires by the time fall camp starts.. as opposed to only have 2 weeks.

Air Force.. finishing with a 10 Win season.
Western Kentucky.. finishing with a 9 Win season.
Both good football teams who are polar opposites on offense.
Air Force - Triple Option
Western Kentucky - Air Raid
There is merit to both offenses. Both have pros and cons.

Wasn’t a very talented football player but played because of hard work in the weight room and was going to be as right on the field as I could be. The discipline and responsibility carry over into life after football! I was just learning life skills the whole time.
