O-Line Covered Step Drill
- This offensive line drill utilizes the lines on a turf field or painted boxes to simulate old-school board drills.
- To maximize individual time, coaches can line up multiple players along every five-yard line to get a high volume of repetitions in a short period.
- The first movement, or the power step, is a short step used to transfer weight from the backside big toe to the lead leg to create power.
- On the coach's second command, players execute the drive step, which provides the actual movement and force of the block.
- Players must ensure their second step lands in front of their first step, driving that foot up the crotch of the defender and upfield.
- While players in the drill may fall forward without resistance, in a game scenario, this momentum is used to strike the defender in a proper fit.

You do realize you can play soccer, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf and most other sports for decades after high school.
Football? This is your time.
It’s now or never.
Football, Basketball and Baseball players along with wrestlers should be on the following rotation and if you don’t agree, argue with a wall.
Summer/Fall:
Football/Fall Sports- Priority Commitment
Winter Sports- Attend when Fall Sports allow, priority if no Fall Sport
Baseb….I mean Spring Sports- Don’t even think about it, but stay in the weight room.
Late Fall/Winter:
Winter Sports- Priority Commitment
Spring Sports: Attend when Winter Sports allow, priority commitment if no winter sport.
Fall Sports: None, but stay in the weight room.
Late Winter/Spring:
Spring Sports: Priority Commitment
Fall Sports: Attend when Spring Sports allow, priority if no Spring Sport
Winter Sports: None, but stay in the weight room.

The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily
For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7.
Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.
Hard truth:
Schools cannot fully overcome poor parenting.
Teachers are burning out trying to do the jobs of educator, counselor, disciplinarian, and parent all at once.
At some point, accountability has to return to the home.

Don’t mind me I’m just going through these PO’s today…..
It takes everybody to have a successful program including parents.
For O-line
1. If someone leaves, someone else is coming
2. Stacked defenders (DB/LB or DB/DB) = Blitz
3. If the D line all of a sudden lines up 1-2 yards off the ball and not in your face, expect a stunt.
4. If the refs don’t see it…
I had the opportunity be a guest on the B.U.I.L.T. Different Podcast with Coach Randy Narciso. If youre interested give it a listen. I got to talk about my background in athletics and my philosophy on coaching and life. 🔗 https://t.co/R3K9SC20kI
To my undrafted players looking to make the team and stick around…
Here’s my best advice on work & study habits when I think back on my career:
WATCHING FILM:
Don’t just watch film in meetings after practice. Try to review your practice reps during the window before meetings start —that way you can have a conversation with your coach when your plays come up. Next, I’d watch EVERY snap on your own time once you get back to your hotel room. Take notes and be hard on yourself. Then, at the end of the day, review it all again before bed so that way you will have seen & visualized each snap at least 3 or 4 more times outside of practice. The key here is taking that feeling of urgency in your brain, where you’re trying to remember everything, and turning it into active processing
(IF YOU’RE A DEFENSIVE GUY —you should actually breakdown what the offense is doing because they will run the same shit the next day. And I’m sure it’s the same, offensively.)
STUDYING THE PLAYBOOK:
Don’t try to learn the install in real time —you’ll be behind & cramming shit in your brain all day. Understand which install is being taught next —then study, take notes, and anticipate questions or gaps the night before. Make sure to review those notes in the AM before everything starts. That way you’re prepared and ready to have questions versus preparing & faking it during the meeting.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING:
Show up early to warm up before the warm up. Don’t follow the veterans (they’re playing a different game than you). What you should do is seek out the good ones that have been on the team for a minute —the ones you notice having a full routine throughout the day. Those are the ones you want to surround yourself with. Another move —> ask the strength coach who the best workers on the team are. Find them and follow their lead.
UNIT/POSITION MEETINGS:
Don’t be a know-it-all and answer every question like you’re trying to be the team’s valedictorian. Find a potential problem with what is being taught and ask a good question. It shows that you not only understand the install, but that you are someone who thinks about “level 2” details.
SPECIAL TEAMS!!!!!
This is honestly where you make the team. Get to know the Special Teams Coordinator because he will ultimately be the final boss. What not to do —don’t think your play as an offensive or defensive player will be enough. It won’t be unless you’re a Day 1 starter. Something that was taught to me —don’t be one of those groupies and immediately ask questions following a meeting. Instead, find him in his office during “off hours”, ask him to pull up a rep that you have a question on, and allow him to teach you what he wants. Then you’ll be talking ball, watching film, and having your own personal meeting.
(Another sleeper play is to always be talking to the Assistant Sp. Teams Coach.)
And my last piece of advice —be consistent, man. Pull the fucking trigger and pour everything you have into this opportunity because it might be your only one.
“You owe the process everything, and it owes you nothing in return”
Go be great 🐺🐺
