Thank you @ZachAlvira for telling our stories. Hopefully, our stories will inspire others when they face adversity and with faith, all things are possible! 🙏🏽 #AGTG
Before moving to Colorado, I was working on a couple of stories for @ability360's magazine. One was a story about a couple of AZ HS football coaches sharing their stories.
Thank you @CoachCarterWick and @CoachMikeIngram for speaking with me. https://t.co/gknh574zWO
In order to save anyone the hassle of asking me about it, I decided to cave and put together a quick explanation on the private drive I post about on here.
===CONTENTS OF THE DRIVE===
INSTALLS — Hundreds of various forms of installs that I've compiled over the years from both sides of the ball (Special Teams coming soon) that span from high school to NFL.
COVERAGE LIBRARY — An organized library of installs and materials from the installs and other sources. This is a favorite of most people I get feedback from.
FILM — Although it's not the main focus of the drive, there is a hefty amount of college and NFL film that is cycled in & out. These are downloadable so that they can be kept even after they're cycled out.
CUTUPS — One of the most informative parts of this drive are these cutups that are labeled and organized in a way that allow them to be used for teach tape. These are currently focused on the Reid system since it's the offense I'm able to provide context and additional resources for.
MANUALS — Along with some position manuals that span from HS to NFL level, all of the documents I put together and use as teaching tools are available within the drive. This includes the "Winning With Pre-Snap" manual and a wide variety of glossaries.
OFFENSIVE SYSTEM — The last main piece to this is my personal system's pass game materials. There are hundreds of diagrams and a complete manual that provide context to everything included in this folder. My system is built on a Reid/Pederson west coast foundation with some modern flourishes.
Basically, if you are interested in learning the specifics about any of the following, this is an excellent resource for it.
— Pass game concepts
— Coverage mechanics
— Quarterback process (Pre- & Post-Snap)
— Quarterback fundamentals (footwork, etc.)
— Teaching the pass game
— The Andy Reid offense
— The Vic Fangio defense
— West Coast offense
— Baltimore defensive system
— Coverage techniques
— Route running
— Creating & implementing a system
— Scouting opponents
— Evaluating talent
For those who are interested in access, it's now $20 (via CashApp or Venmo) up front to help offset the storage costs and allow for constant new updates. Instead of a subscription model, this is just a one time thing and you'll get access for good. If you are outside of the US, just contact me to work something out because I know those aren't available to you. The main goal is to share information rather than gatekeeping it, so if you aren't in a position to contribute, just let me know and I'll make it work…no questions asked. I'm not going to shut anyone out of these resources and I'm happy to help anyone who may not be in a position to contribute right now. I've been in that position many times before and others were always helpful to me, so don't hesitate to ask.
Anyone can either just send it to CashApp ($TheHonestNFL) or Venmo (@TheHonestNFL) with their Gmail included so I can set you up, or get in touch with me. Just requesting access to the folder itself isn't an option anymore for reasons that are out of my control, so you need to go through me to get it.
@CodyTCameron It all depends on your Group number. It’s a free for all when you line up by Group number, it’s not sequential like A 1-30. So that can affect if you have overhead luggage. But yeah it’s dumb you can’t sit in an open seat if the flight is mostly empty.
Former @Husky_Football7 quarterback Nicco Marchiol has finally found a new home.
Marchiol makes the move to Northwestern with two years of eligibility remaining.
@AZHSFB
I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.
Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.
Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.
Take your grades serious. Choose who you hang around wisely. Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out. Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches. Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.
Be intentional. Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.
I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.
Start now.
