Football is one of the most popular sports today. People of all ages from different parts of the world are deeply interested in this sport. Many kids and teens, in particular, are so fascinated with this sport that they work really hard to be able to join a team or club in their school or neighborhood and be a player.

Joining a football tryout for the first time can really be daunting for many kids. And because their nerves can get the best of them, they can miss out on the big chance to shine and ace the tryout.

To help children increase their chance of being successful when trying out for a school or local football team for the first time, below are some useful tips parents can impart to their kids:

Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep. The night before the tryout, make sure your kid gets at least 8 hours of sleep. This is to ensure that your child is well-rested and prepared for the tryout. This will also make sure that he or she will feel less stressed and ready for all the activities for the next day.

Encourage your child to always smile and stay confident. Coaches are naturally drawn to kids with a positive and confident attitude. Advice your child to avoid swearing as well, no matter how frustrated they feel since coaches can easily remember players with negative attitudes. All communication should be positive. Encourage him or her to smile as often as possible. In general, a positive attitude in kids is important and will keep a coach’s attention at tryouts.

Instill the value of hard work. Even if a child isn’t the best player during a tryout, coaches are easily impressed with kids who work hard. Young ones who make mistakes on the field but never complain and make excuses will always catch the attention of coaches. This positive quality often signifies that children won’t be headaches during trainings and that they will really work hard to be good in this game. As such, make sure you instill this value in your kids.

Lastly, during tryout, encourage your child to not be easily affected by any mistakes they make. Tell them to let this go immediately and that they should go on with the next play. This will have a more positive effect on their game and at the same time, help the coach forget the error.

There is a huge need for strength training for all football players. The ability to put together a strength program takes planning to get the most out of your athletes and to structure it properly. It is both an art and science to plan a strength training program.

Here is a quick list of facts that you need to keep in mind concerning your strength training for football. It isn’t just about how big and bulky you can get – quite the contrary actually.

o Bigger muscles are not necessarily stronger muscles o You need to not only develop the size of a given muscle; you need to actually be considering the muscle’s strength. That’s what it’s all about.

o A strong muscle is more than big; -.

o Many a big muscle is torn loose from the joint that it is meant to move. A torn muscle can literally take months, even years to heal fully. Some never do.

You develop tendon and ligament strength by taking your training seriously. Don’t attack your weight training like a crazy fool. Take your time. Pay attention to strict form in every rep. Perform your reps slowly and with full control. Haphazardly jerking or throwing the weight up and calling that a successful rep is not only careless; it is a false achievement. Weight training is about far more than just moving the weight from point A to point B. Remember that!

o Bulky muscles too often yield decreased speed, agility and finesse. o Especially for wide receivers, defensive backs and tailbacks, muscles need to be specifically trained for bursting power and speed. They have to be able to start right now, stop right now and absorb some seriously unexpected impacts. Football is no game for wimps. It is also not an event for big, slow, overly bulky pigs just because they might be able to bench 400 lbs in a quirky, jerky, off-balance fashion. Be real!

Do yourself and your team a serious favor and ensure that you will be around season after strenuous season to help out. Take your strength training for football very seriously. Slow down while at the gym. Develop your tendon and ligament strength along with your bulk. The end result will be superior, lightening fast, impossible to rip, explosive muscles that have the true strength of a beast! Now that is what you are after.

There are several types of strength training for football to consider. Football is versatile and needs versatility in strength training programs. Here are the types that we will address:

o Functional strength training for football Ø Hypertrophy strength training for football Ø Maximal strength training for football Ø Power strength training for football

First, we will define each one and then address how to combine them all into the total athletic package for football.

Functional strength training for football:

Football can really put a hurtin’ on your body in a lot of different ways. Your body is twisted, bent, bounced and forced into uncountable positions of unnatural strain. You need to ensure bilaterally symmetrical development while engaging your strength training. That means that you give equal, animalistic (but controlled) effort to both sides of your body. You want symmetrical development, not lopsided malformation.

You also need to ensure that you never get so wrapped up in the development of your prime movers (quads, biceps, pecs, etc.) that you neglect your supporting muscle (hamstrings, triceps, calves, posterior delts, lower trapezius, etc.). The message here is that you must maintain balance. If you fail to develop your body in a symmetrical, holistic fashion, you are begging for injury.

Hypertrophy Strength Training for Football

Don’t let the hard-to-pronounce name fool you; an increase in muscle fiber size makes up for the improvement and increase in the muscle mass. This is the type of strength training for football that everyone thinks of. You get to concentrate on muscular growth and sheer bulk. Remember that even linemen should only dedicate roughly half of their strength training to hypertrophy strength. More than that and you are entering into the slow zone – the zone of painful injury because you lack agility and speed.

Maximal Strength Training for Football

In a nutshell, this refers to the development of cross sectional areas of each muscle. It is responsible for explosive power. You have to lift maximal loads in order to promote the development of these «fast twitch» motor units. Strength and power are close cousins. When you are performing maximal strength training, you explode into the lift. You fire a burst of energy into the weight propelling them to the desired destination. You must remember the first lesson about strict and proper form. Do not ruin your workout by flopping like a fish under the weight. If you have to do that, then take some of the weight off of the bar. Remember: you didn’t really lift it at all if you flopped your way through it. More importantly, flopping and squirming invites bench-sitting injury. Believe it!

Power Strength Training for Football

You have to possess the ability to instantly convert all of your strength into booming power to prevail on the football field. The stronger and more powerful athlete is the one who will best survive a collision. You have to accentuate your functional, hypertrophy and maximal training sessions with power strength training. You want your CNS to recruit fast twitch muscle fibers as quickly as possible. Now that you understand that more than just going in and fish-flopping through your workouts is needed in order to develop the total package for football, you need to understand something else: Cycle training. If you wish to optimize your strength training for football, then you have to incorporate all of the above training methods.

Develop a timeline. Construct a program to cycle through each of the training types in succession. Functional training is followed by hypertrophy work. Follow that with 4 weeks each of maximal and power training and then repeat. Vary your training. You do not want your body to plateau so training cannot be the same consistently. Think of your body as a multifaceted machine that needs different care at different times. Always take your time with each individual rep to ensure proper form. Develop symmetrically. Develop tendon and ligament strength. You must develop size and power!

Release your inner beast through diverse and intelligent training and rule the field!

After the season ends, loyal NFL fans look forward to April each year to see what gifts the NFL draft will provide them. Of course, the NFL will extend that wait until May starting next season. No matter what position your team is drafting in, you always hope that they will find gems to plug those gaping holes or find the heir to replace current studs at key positions. For us, we look across the league to see what players have been drafted onto teams in a spot that they will have an impact on the fantasy football landscape.

So, Maximum Fantasy Sports has put its collective heads together and has ranked the Top-5 fantasy football relevant rookies at the core skill positions and their projected draft round in standard 12-team fantasy football leagues. There was a time that we would avoid all rookie QBs that came into the league. However, the game has changed at the collegiate and professional level in ways that allow talented QBs to step under center and be productive immediately. It is amazing to look at the 2012 season QB stats and see multiple rookies near the top. Drafting RGIII last year got many teams to the fantasy playoffs. Adding Colin Kaepernick late in the season took many teams to fantasy gold. Who from this year’s draft will be the key players on your run to your championship? Below is the consensus review from Maximum Fantasy Sports for the new crop of NFL rookies.

QBs

A. Geno Smith (New York Jets): Draft prognosticators had Geno listed as the first QB off the board and many thought he would be drafted in the first round. Unfortunately for his ego, wallet and job satisfaction, he was drafted by the Jets in the second round. Shockingly, Jets fans weren’t thrilled by the pick. I am confused since the butt-fumbler is currently their starting QB. I would not be surprised to see Geno win the job in training camp. Too bad that he has no one to throw to. He is a 14th round pick at best.

B. E.J. Manuel (Buffalo): E.J. is this year’s dual-threat QB. He has the wheels and the arm, though not real accurate, to be successful. He will start on the bench with Kevin Kolb getting the starting position to start the season. Since Kolb is made of cupcakes and is not real talented, Manual should get the job before long. He is a speculative add, at best, with the last pick of your draft.

C. Mike Glennon (Tampa): Manuel is the «new NFL» QB and Glennon is the «Old NFL». You are not going to see this kid running much. He is 6’7″ and has a cannon for an arm. Josh Freeman is the guaranteed starter, but really faltered down the stretch last year. Tampa has loads of talent on offense, so, if Freeman stumbles again, Glennon could take over. I would have no problem drafting Freeman as my QB2 and backing him up with Glennon as my last pick in my deeper leagues.

D. Tyler Wilson (Oakland): Well, it is better than New York, but not by much. Wilson joins a team that has been in search of a good QB since Rich Gannon took them to the Super Bowl in 2002. Matt Flynn gets the starting nod this year. Carson Palmer did put up good fantasy numbers last year, but I don’t expect anything good from Wilson, even if he gets the job at some point. Not draftable.

E. Matt Barkley (Philly): with Michael Vick and Nick Foles ahead of him, Barkley will probably not see the field this year. Sadly for him, had he come out in 2012, he would have been been a first round pick and may have seen some success. He has talent, so you could consider grabbing him at some point during the season if you are in a deep Fantasy Football Keeper league.

RBs

A. Montee Ball (Denver): Ball steps into a good situation in Denver; they have a rock solid passing attack so teams can’t load the box to stop the run and the Broncos have a stable of RBs coming off of major injuries. The Wisconsin grad had been putting in NFL-type seasons in college (over 300 carries each of the past two years). Some people may shy away from him due to the workload. I think it has prepared him for a grueling NFL season. I would add him as a late 3rd round or early 4th round pick.

B. Le’Veon Bell (Pittsburgh): Bell is a great fit for the Steelers. He fits their mold at 6’2″ and 230lbs. The Steelers had no success with the various backs they tossed on the field last year and would love for Bell to be their workhorse. I thought Jonathan Dwyer was that player last year when the Steelers drafted him, but know they weren’t happy with him when they decided to draft another RB in Bell. He should be the next back off the board after Ball.

C. Eddie Lacy (Green Bay): Much like Bell, Lacy is going to a Super Bowl contending team in need of a go-to running back. Lacy would be tops on this list if the Packers didn’t pick up Jonathan Franklin as well. I love Franklin and have decided to add him here as a 3B. They are both draftable, with Lacy being a 5th round pick and Franklin being an 8th round pick, but they will split carries this season.

D. Zac Stacy (St. Louis): Who will replace Steven Jackson? The Rams are facing that dilemma. They have Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead, but neither is assured of being The Man. Stacy tore it up at Vanderbilt, which is a good place to hide your talent. I would add him in the 11th round and hope St. Louis recognizes his talent and gets him the rock.

E. Stepfan Taylor (Arizona): The Cardinals can’t keep a starting RB healthy. The two guys ahead of Taylor; Rashard Mendenhall and Ryan Williams, are ACL casualties in recent years, so add Taylor in the last round if you draft either of these RBs.

WRs

A. Tavon Austin (St. Louis): Austin is a blazer and will love the turf in St. Louis. He will take the slot left open by Danny Amendola’s departure. Sam Bradford will call his number as often as he did Amendola’s. There is talk that he will even drift into the backfield a few times a game. With over 100 catches at West Virginia the past two years, you know he can handle the workload. I would draft him in the 6th round.

B. DeAndre Hopkins (Houston): FINALLY, someone that can play on the other side of the field from Andre Johnson. Matt Schaub, Johnson and Hopkins are thrilled with this draft pick. He is a highlight reel mainstay and catches everything in sight. There is no doubt that he starts the first game and doesn’t look back. I would grab him in the 7th round.

C. Cordarrelle Patterson (Minny): Patterson’s stock dropped with questions about his character, which is funny considering that he took Randy Moss’ number; his idol! Should he stay focused, he is a big play waiting to happen. Greg Jennings is Minny’s number 1 receiver, but he is far from the deep threat that Patterson is. He won’t catch 100 balls this year, but he will have a big YPR and lots of YAC. He is a solid 9th round pick.

D. Aaron Dobson (New England): Out with the old and in with the new. Dobson joins a new receiver corp in New England. Tom Brady likes spreading the ball around and Danny Amendola will be taking Wes Welker’s spot, but Dobson should win Brady over easily. The kid had zero Drops last year! I would grab Dobson in the 12th round

E. Keenan Allen (San Diego): Based on pure talent, Allen would be ranked much, much higher. His problems are that he is coming off a knee injury and has a group of WRs in front of him that he will need to win time from. However, Vincent Brown is also coming off an injury, Robert Meachem was an overpaid no-show last year and Malcolm Floyd is an enigma. He is worth taking a flier on in the last two rounds of your draft.

TEs

A. Tyler Eifert (Cincinnati): Eifert could almost be listed in the WR category since he has that make-up. The Bengals are sold that Jermaine Gresham is their number 1 TE but they are sure that Eifert could be that, and more. QB Andy Dalton likes throwing to his TE and adding Eifert makes him smile. Expect Eifert to be the second-leading pass-catcher for the Bengals this year. TE is deep in the NFL but I wouldn’t wait too long to add Eifert. 8th round seems like the ideal spot.

B. Travis Kelce (Kansas City): Kelce is joining a team that has 2 young TEs with NFL experience in front of him. However, Alex Smith likes his tight ends and Kelce is better than both Tony Moeaki and Anthony Fasano. Keep an eye on training camp this summer and see if Kelce makes some noise. If so, you can draft him around round 15.

C. Zach Ertz (Philly): Chip Kelly takes over in Philly and no one knows what to expect. Brent Celek has been the TE mainstay for years in Philly, but we give Ertz a good chance to unseat him. He is big and quick and should fit nicely into Kelly’s offense. That being said, we are talking about a rookie coach who may stick with his veterans out of the gate so, once again, pay attention to training camp and be ready to grab Ertz near the end of your draft if he looks like he is getting plenty of field time.

D. Vance McDonald (San Fran): McDonald was drafted to replace DelanieWalker. Not much of a blocker, but he is a talented receiver, albeit very raw. Vernon Davis did not click with QB Colin Kaepernick until late last season and there is no guarantee that it will carry over to this season. McDonald is 6′ 4″ and 262lbs, so he is the right size to be successful. It is unknown how many of Walker’s targets he will actually see. I would not recommend drafting him, but keep him on your Watch list.

E. Jordan Reed (Washington): Reed was actually recruited by Florida as a QB. They converted him to a TE and became their leading pass receiver last year, though they weren’t blowout numbers. He is still raw and has Fred Davis and Logan Paulsen in front of him in the Redskins’ pecking order. He is not draftable this season and will only see the field through injury.

MAKING THE MOST OF A CHANCE

Nebraska wasn’t the first choice for this Chicago Mt. Caramel High School star. «I was recruited by George Kelly who was a coach at Marquette University,» Judge McGinn said. McGinn didn’t stay very long at Marquette and followed a call to the seminary but soon found the priesthood wasn’t for him.

«I sent out some letters to different universities,» McGinn explained. His direct mail approach got a response from an old friend. George Kelly was now one of Devaney’s coaches at Nebraska. «Kelly told me they had a scholarship for me and to come on out.»

McGinn packed his bags and headed for Lincoln. It was 1962 and the excitement was high in Lincoln. His first day at Nebraska was a little stressful however. «I flunked the physical,» McGinn said. «I injured my shoulder in high school and it needed to be fixed.»

McGinn didn’t have much time to feel down about the problem, however. «Coach Devaney came up to me and told me not to worry, they would get things fixed.»

«Pre-season practice wasn’t as tough at Nebraska as it was in high school,» McGinn recalled. «We were allowed some breaks when it was hot and they even had saltwater and orange and lemon slices for us.

Even the regular season practices were lighter. We didn’t do a lot of calisthenics. If you played on Saturday, you didn’t have to scrimmage the next week.» Football was fun for this running back now switched to guard on offense and defense. Yes, he played on both sides of the ball.

McGinn concentrated on his studies and his goal of becoming a dentist. But that soon changed, too. «I got a D in chemistry so I dual matriculated in Arts and Sciences and Teacher’s College,» McGinn explained. He was going to be a coach.

McGinn didn’t get to go to the first bowl game of the Devaney era because he was ineligible due to the transfer. The Huskers headed for the Gotham Bowl in New York City and beat Miami in a freezing weather squeaker, 36-34.

The next year, he was part of an Oklahoma style 5/4 defense. «There were five down linemen and 2 linebackers over the guards,» he explained. Nebraska was also using an alternating squad method where McGinn would come in to sub for All-American Bob Brown.

«There were some opposition players who were happy to see me come in after having to deal with Brown for a while.» Brown was 6′ 5″ and 270 and McGinn was right at 6′ and 205, almost exactly what he is today. Not everyone on that team was a giant. There was even a tough little guy from Cleveland in the backfield by the name of Frank Solich.

McGinn went to work on his own strength and size. The famous Husker Power strength program was still a few years off.»In those days there was a set of Sears weights in the field house and a big bar in the basement of the Coliseum,» he explained.

The excitement was building at a record pace and along with it, seats for the sea of red started pushing out of the ground on the south end of the stadium. «By the time I was a senior, the South Stadium was done,» he remembered. Along with new room for the faithful came some warmer and sunnier bowl appearances. Nebraska beat Auburn in the 1963 Orange Bowl, 13-7.

«We played Arkansas in the 1964 Cotton Bowl and had them handled for most of the game but they started hitting on the little out patterns and we just couldn’t adjust,» he remembered. «I recovered a fumble but it wasn’t enough, they beat us 10-7.»

The football coach-to-be with a major in English and Philosophy was now a Nebraska graduate. The real world called. «I went to work at a Firestone recapping plant in Aberdeen, South Dakota,» he said with a big grin. «Then I got interested in law school.»

McGinn enrolled in Nebraska’s Law School and clerked for county attorney Paul Douglas. When he graduated, he was offered a position with the country attorney’s office and stayed there for eleven years until his appointment to the District Court by Governor Charles Thone.

«I hope I do some good by making an effort to protect society with my judging,» he said. «I like the variety of experiences.» But there is one type of experience that clearly troubles him. It is when a young man stands before him.

If he had his way, he would prefer that young men stand in front of people like Devaney, Osborne, and Solich rather than have to stand before him. «Kids need supervision and attention and sometimes they just don’t get it,» he said. «Sometimes they just don’t have a chance.»

Retired Judge McGinn doesn’t attend all of the Husker home games but you may see him once in a while with some of his old friends. «Fred Duda and I went to the Notre Dame game and a bunch of us get together every summer.

«Chances are, they probably talk about having a chance to play football for Nebraska. Bernard McGinn made the most of his chance.

On its face the older lighter rule makes a lot of sense, if a player is very small and may struggle with playing in his own age group, let him play «down» an age group so he has a chance to play and compete. In my mind if you have a very small first year 11 year old player that weighed 70 pounds, this rule would allow him to plqay with 9 and 10 year olds and give the plyer the chance to learn the game and get meaningful playing time in an effort to build a love for the game in him. In this particular case, the rule would have met its goal.

Age is a very important factor in youth football. The league commissioner for Omaha’s Heartland Youth Football League did an in-depth study of the ages of the teams in our league in 2001. He found there were very significant correlations of average age of teams to wins and losses. He broke the study down to the average number of months the age of each team was and invariably the oldest team in each classification finished in the top 3 in the standings and the youngest team in each classification finished in the bottom 3.

In my first year of coaching youth football, I coached in an age 8-10 «draft» league where the coaches are given only the birthdate and weight of the player to make the draft selection. We were not given the players name etc, basically a blind draft with the exception of the age and weight data. This league had an older-but-lighter rule. As our turn in the draft came around we just selected the largest players available, while the team next to us the «Dolphins» chose lots of 11 year old «older-but-lighter» players that were quite small, as well as medium to smaller 10 and 9 year olds. Our roster was filled with bigger 8s and 9s and a few 10s. As it turned out, the Dolphins were the perennial bullies of the league and had won an incredible number of back to back league titles. They knew what they were doing and that age was far more important than size. They went on to win the league title again that year. That season, we had just one older-but-lighter player and he turned out to be our star player, our tailback and star linebacker.

In many youth football leagues there is an age cutoff, in many leagues it is August 1st. So whatever age the player is on August 1st is what the league uses to determine age for that football season. If a player «Joey» is age 10 on August 1st and on August 2nd he turns 11, according to the league the player is 10 years old for that entire season. So if the age grouping is age 8-10 and an 8 year old player just turned 8 on July 31st, this 8 year old would be playing against a player «Joey», that is 4 years older than him. Age is important, but so is the date of the birthdate. In 2003 I had an «Unlimited» age 8-10 team that had 4 players that turned 11 in August. Needless to say, that was a huge advantage for us.

Now just imagine if you had a lighter 11 year old that had a birthdate of August 3rd, now you have a 12 year old playing 8 year olds. That would be darn right dangerous for some 8 year olds if that 12 year old player had 4 years of football plays under his belt.

My personal teams play in unlimited leagues with «running back» weights. The big kids are required to play between the tackles and are not allowed to carry or catch the football. We have always found it is not the big heavy linemen that are dominating games and making big hits, it is that medium sized or even smaller kid who has speed, aggressiveness and acceleration through contact. While the big linemen may seem a bit imposing at first glance, once the game is under way the players that are feared most are the big hitters, which are rarely if ever the big kids. Hence it could be that aggressive smaller older-but-lighter player that could be the terror of your league, not that «Fat Freddie» big linemen.

What often happens in the youth football leagues that have «older-but-lighter» rules is the rule gets abused. Instead of using the rule as it was intended for, to aid the development of truly smaller and weaker players, teams load their teams up with perfectly well adjusted and experienced smaller players. Some teams even make these already skinny lighter players LOSE weight to make sure they meet the weight guidelines, if the player is close to the weight limit.

I have had youth football coaches e-mail me to say they play teams of 24 kids where 17 are older-but-lighter. If you closely examine the ages of many of the top Pop Warner teams that play on TV for National Titles, quite often you find teams stacked full of very tall and skinny older-but-lighter players.

I’m not sure how to solve the «stacking» of older-but-lighter kids on teams to create competitive advantages. I really like the idea of significantly smaller first year players playing down an age group to give them a chance to develop. However, if the weight differentials are not large enough or already small players are being pressured into losing weight to meet older-but-lighter requirements, I’m not sure we are meeting the intent of the rule.

In our Omaha Youth Football league with August 1st cutoff dates, we often had 8th graders with August or September birthdates that were playing on the 11-12 year old team. The problem was many of their 8th grade buddies were playing on the 13-14 age team. While it would have given us a significant advantage to keep the player on the younger team, if the players were mature enough we would play them up with their friends. We felt doing what was right for that player superseded our need for a competitive advantage; I would hope others would do the same when it comes to making older but lighter decisions.

When I coached in youth football leagues that had older-but-lighter rules, if we had kids what were close to the weight cutoff and they had experience, we just played them up and it worked out fine. If we had a rookie kid that was weaker and close to the cutoff, we never ran him extra or starved him. We just explained the situation to the parents and if they concurred, we asked them to curb the intake of desserts, junk food and sodas. If the player made the weight great, if he didn’t make the weight no big deal, we never counted on the player making weight. We did not weigh the player every day or put any pressure on the player to lose the weight. We did not take him to any sauna, starve him or the like, like some do.

If you are in a «draft» league, heavily weight age and experience when making your selections. Keep in mind not only the players age, but his birthdate, it will be to your advantage. Coaching Youth Football well is more than just calling good football plays and having great football schemes, and football practices, it also often involves smart selection or drafting of players. Make sure you are thorough and use age to your advantage within ethical boundaries.

If you have an older-but-lighter player that is close to the cutoff and you are considering having him lose weight, think carefully about how this will look 10-20 years from now. Was it really worth it to the player or team? Personally I prefer beating teams with younger and less talented kids, it’s more of a challenge and far more satisfying than doing it with a «stacked» team of scarecrows.

Football Plays

Camiseta Portero Juventus Verde 21/22 Camisetas de futbol, chandals, nba y otros.

There is something about association football that is very appealing. The game is played by over 250 million players in over 200 nations and has the highest television audience in sport. What is it that makes football so popular? Has it still got its sporting spirit?

Unfair play

I’m familiar with football in England both on television and from the stands.

Some maintain that unfair play is spoiling the game. Pundits speak of the so-called ‘tactical foul’ as if it were acceptable. As if taking an unfair advantage is okay. Yet, doesn’t cheating undermine fair play?

We hear of the ‘professional foul’ as when it is said with approval ‘He took one for the team’ for an unfair advantage perhaps stopping a dangerous attack on goal. His offence resulted in a yellow card from the referee.

Likewise, ‘diving’ can be blatant. More difficult to referee is the player who goes down unnecessarily when there is any sort of physical contact with the tackler. This is more common. When a player is apparently injured only to get up a bit later and immediately run at full pelt up the field, fans get very indignant. This is because feigning injury occurs in order to cause a stop in play and give team mates a breather or encourages the referee to blandish a red card sending off the opposing player from the field.

Some argue an attitude of ‘winning at all costs’ sometimes develops and this is killing the spirit of the game e.g. hand-balling the ball into the net. Better to enjoy football for its own sake rather than believing that the only thing that matters is whether we win or lose.

Being a bad loser damages sporting spirit

It’s good to see opposing players and coaches shake hands after a game with both teams congratulating the other for their efforts. Likewise, the crowd claps when a player kicks the ball out of play if a player on the opposing side is hurt so he can get help.

However, bad losers come up with petty complaints about all sorts of things. When winning at all costs rules our hearts, then we will feel really fed up after a loss. Disgruntled with the referee, the substitutions, the bad luck.

But maybe the opposing team deserved to win in all honesty. They didn’t cheat but showed good skill and effort. How many times have you accepted ‘Yes we were we out-played, out-thought, out-run and out-fought: the better team won.’ Everyone is drawn to those who seem honest and fair. Even children know what fairness is and are most upset when cheating takes place.

Verbal abuse in football

Football is only a game. But being hidden in a crowd some individuals want to be verbally abusive. They openly express hostility directed at players of the opposing team, the match officials, or people of a different race to their own. Some fans have been known even to abuse their own players who have made mistakes.

Even in the amateur game, abuse directed at the referee can continue from some players, coaches and fans. Some parents have been heard to scream at and curse referees in front of their own children. Sadly, football culture has its vicious side now.

Loss of community sporting spirit

Being part of a stadium crowd can be a wonderful experience. Just being there, and part of the drama and spirit of the game with its thrills and unpredictability is a huge part of the fun. Living the 90 minutes with its ups and downs and fulfillments and disappointments.

Yet, with no live football on English terrestrial television, people watch the highlights on Match of the Day and seem to be happy just to see the goals and the red cards and penalties and not much else. Even watching live football on pay to view television lacks the communal aspect of football as a sport. Instead of being part of the crowd, the television viewer is watching one place removed.

Loss of competition in football

Modern top-flight football in England has been changed by pay to view television. It has thrown billions of pounds into creating astronomical wages, transfer and agents’ fees. And to some extent all this money has bought success on the pitch and a commercial windfall. Why else would businessmen want to invest in mainly the top Premier League clubs? So much so that others can barely compete and the same few big clubs are there or there about at the top by the end of the season.

Income disparities between the various leagues were once narrow giving lower league sides more of the chance of victory by virtue of having good veterans and talented young players with various cup competitions open to them. Now there is an absolute gulf between the top and other tiers of the game.

When the playing field is so uneven, it unfortunately reduces unpredictability which is vital for the spirit of sport. Matches featuring one of the wealthiest clubs can at times become an exhibition with a forgone conclusion rather than a competition.

Money orientation in football

Average pay in the Premier league is about £200,000 per month, £2.5 million per year. Fans are constantly trying to assess player commitment versus income, fees paid against performance. Some commentators suggest consequently football is now all about knowing the price of everything and the value of nothing. If it is true football has become mostly about money, it appears to be spoiling the top-flight game.

Conclusion about sporting spirit

Sport can be deeply satisfying to play and watch when the sporting spirit of the game is present. This means, being honest with ourselves about our team’s performance, showing consideration for all involved, celebrating ones participation in a shared enjoyment and playing fairly.

«Whatever is good and true, just and fair, and also honourable, has a strong and hidden power within it to attract people’s minds.» (Emanuel Swedenborg, spiritual philosopher)

For all of you «newbies» to football, when watching a game, you may be thinking that just about anything goes. This is football, after all. However true, there are rules that need to be followed and when an offending player commits an infraction, his team must be penalized.

In the NFL, when a player commits a penalty, the Referee announces the penalty to the whole world. He will announce what the penalty is, and who it is on. For example, he will say something like, «Holding, number 74, Offense». This tells everyone that number 74 on the Offense committed a holding penalty. In the NFL, you can run, but you can’t hide. When a player commits a penalty, the Referee (or one of the other Officials that spotted the infraction) tosses a yellow «FLAG» (which is really a weighted down hanky) into the air. So, anytime you are watching a game on TV and you see or hear the word «FLAG», you will know that a player committed a penalty. While there are a number of different penalties that players can commit, I am only going to mention the most common ones. Here they are:

– False start – this occurs when a player on Offense (usually an Offensive Lineman) moves or flinches before the ball is snapped. This is usually a pretty easy penalty to spot. It usually occurs because a player is trying to get a jump on his opponent before the play starts and inadvertently moves before the snap. False start costs the Offense five yards.

– Holding – this occurs when a player grabs hold of his opponent in an illegal manner. While it may appear that holding occurs on just about every play, the Officials must pick and choose their battles. Usually, unless it is pretty obvious, the Officials will let this go. Holding costs a team ten yards if it is on Offense, and five yards and an automatic first down if on the Defense.

– Offsides – usually occurs on the Defense, but an Offensive player may be Offsides as well. Offsides occurs when a player (other than the Center) has any part of his body in or beyond the neutral zone when the ball is snapped. The neutral zone is the area between the lines of scrimmage (or, the length of the ball when it is on the ground at the start of a play). Offsides costs a team five yards.

– Encroachment – this penalty is similar to Offsides in that a player enters the neutral zone before the snap, but on this penalty, he makes contact with an opposing player. The penalty on this is five yards.

So, when watching the game, look for these common penalties. Pretty soon, you’ll be calling them before the Officials.

College football’s annual bowl season is full of surprises and spectacular moments. Famous coaches have had some memorable remarks about American’s most popular sport, and here are some of them by legendary Notre Dame coach Knute Rockne, who many consider to be the best of the best.

Knute Rockne’s head coaching record in college football was second to none, and his won-loss percentage is better than any other college or pro coach ever.

In 13 years with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Rockne’s regular season won-loss percentage was 90% (105-12-5), his winning percentage among all games was 86%, and he led Notre Dame to 6 national championships, winning titles in 1919 (9-0), 1920 (9-0), 1924 (10-0), 1927 (7-1-1), 1929 (9-0) and 1930 (10-0). Five of his 6 national championships came from undefeated teams.

Along the way he coached the immortal George «Gipper» Gipp, whose multiple skills lifted Notre Dame to national fame, and the «Four Horsemen» backfield of Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley and Elmer Layden that led the Fighting Irish to a 28-2 record.

While covering a Notre Dame football game, sportswriter Grantland Rice penned the famous opening story line-«Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again»-that has become legend in sports history.

Rockne’s influence on the game of football was immense. He is credited with helping popularize the forward pass, initiating intersectional rivalries, building a national schedule, and instituting the «Rockne Shift», a backfield T formation that quickly shifted into a box formation to the right or left as the ball was snapped.

He was also the first coach to realize the market potential of football as an entertainment medium and openly promoted Notre Dame football by courting the media for free advertising so Notre Dame’s football program would be financially successful.

Knute Rockne was a Norwegian immigrant who graduated magna cum laude from Notre Dame in 1914, played end for the Fighting Irish that defeated the highly-ranked Army team for the first time in 1913, and was a graduate assistant in chemistry before eventually becoming Notre Dame’s head coach in 1918. A Protestant, he converted to Catholicism later in life.

Following his undefeated, 6th national championship team in 1930, Rockne died at age 43 as a passenger in a tragic Fokker airplane accident that would help revolutionize the transportation business and lead to the all-metal Boeing 247 aircraft. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951 as a charter member.

Here are some of Knute Rockne’s best known quotes:

«Four years of football are calculated to breed in the average man more of the ingredients of success in life than almost any academic course he takes.»

«At home we’re the hosts, and I never liked the idea of being embarrassed in front of our friends.»

«On the road we’re somebody else’s guests – and we play in a way that they’re not going to forget we visited them.»

«We count on winning. And if we lose, don’t beef. And the best way to prevent beefing is – don’t lose.»

«Let’s win one for the Gipper.»

«I’ve found that prayers work best when you have big players.»

«It isn’t necessary to see a good tackle. You can hear it.»

«One loss is good for the soul, too many losses is not good for the coach.»

«Show me a good and gracious loser and I’ll show you a failure.»

«Yes, I know that you feel you are not strong enough. That’s what the enemy thinks too. But we’re gonna fool them.»

«The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.»

«One man practicing sportsmanship is better than a hundred teaching it.»

«Most men, when they think they are thinking, are merely rearranging their prejudices.»

Many youth coaches think that somehow a run dominated attack at the youth level is somehow not «High School» level football. That is far from the truth, there are many High School teams from all across the country that rarely throw and are thriving.

Some Examples of Youth Football Offenses

Just off the top of my head Don Markham’s Bloomington High team in California set a record by scoring 880 points in a 14 game season, with over 90% of the touchdowns being runs and over 90% of the yardage being rushing yardage. Locally the most dominant large school program is Millard North has about 2,500 students and are located in suburban Omaha. They have won 3 State Titles in the last 6 years and have played for countless others. Millard North consistently averages 400+ rushing yards per game and last season had at least 3 games where they not only didn’t pass for a single yard, but they didn’t even bother to attempt a single pass. Millard North lost in the State Championship game last season in a very hotly contested game.

Some Amazing Numbers:

A coaching friend attended a coaching clinic a few weeks back and reported back on John Shillito at Zeeland West High School in Michigan

Here are some interesting statistics about coach Shillito’s teams:

Three year record of 34-4 at ZWHS

In 13 years over 26,000 rushing yards, averaged over 9 yards a carry

Twenty-three 1,000 yard rushers in thirteen years.

Just twice have thrown for 500 yards passing in a season

Nine different Fullbacks have rushed for 1,000 yards in a season

In 1999 3,500 yards on the trap play alone…7,000 yards overall in fourteen games

Some Coach Shillito’s Keys to Success:

Be ready to block every front in the world. Energy away from the ball, Passing is a Small package, all play-action, Look for athletic lineman, mobility is more important than size, Practice things that apply to the offense, No shoots or sled work, No tackling on Scout Team, Ball moves at a very fast tempo.

Does any of this sound vaguely familiar to those that have been to my clinics or read my book on Coaching Youth Football?

Pop Warner National Title Game

Just because the rage or fad of today seems to be all the spread passing attack, remember the two teams in the country that played in the Pop Warner National Championship game this year at Junior Pee Wee (age 9-11) completed just 25% of their passes. Yes, both of these 15-0 teams combined to complete just 25% of their attempts. The more important fact was that another 25% of those attempts were either intercepted OR resulted in a sack. So if the best 2 Pop Warner teams in the country out of thousands of teams are completing the ball at that rate, how well are the average skilled teams going to do? You do the math.

I have nothing against the pass, I love scoring with it, it is a valuable weapon in youth football and we are going to make sure we execute our pass packages well. But, if you think you can consistently move the chains throwing the ball in youth football with average kids, the facts don’t support your contention.

Use this data to help mold which of the many youth football offenses out there make sense for your youth football team.

Youth Football Coaching Horror Stories

Most youth football organizations are started by and operated by volunteers. There are many like those in the Utah Ute football conference in Salt Lake City, where the League and Clubs are very well run, very well organized and where they place a premium on training coaches. On the other hand there are other organizations where the leadership is self centered, with many clubs having priorities that make little sense.

One glaring example comes to mind. I got a frantic call last week from a coach in Florida. His club had four teams in it. Two of the teams in the organization didn’t score a single touchdown last season. The other team had very poor results. On the other hand our hero’s team ended up going to the playoffs, narrowly losing just 3 games for the entire season. His team had just 14 very average players and had to compete against much better teams that had between 25-28 players, The team our friend took over had very similar results to the other 3 teams in the club the year before he took over this team. His parents loved him, 8 different kids scored touchdowns, all 14 kids carried the ball at least once, everyone that played for him the previous year signed up to play again this year. You would think those in charge would be giving this coach a medal and a parade down main street right? If not that then at least figure out what he was doing differently than the other 3 teams and try and replicate his success right?

What are These People Thinking?

The head of this organization felt the reason the organizations teams had fared so poorly was because «they weren’t tough enough». This persons requirement for next season is a universal practice plan for all 4 teams that places a huge premium on «toughening up» the players. Now according to our friend the 3 teams in this club that did so poorly last season, all they did was ‘toughen kids up» during practice. While our friend was working fit and freeze football plays, power hour and birdog drills, the other teams were running their kids till they threw up or scrimmaged most of practice.

Mind you the only team in the organization that had any amount of success was a team that used my system and practice methodology, which places a premium on progression taught perfect fundamentals. As many of you that are using my system know, we do a significant amount of form and fit and freeze work during our practices. We are firm believers that kids will only play aggressively if they first know exactly what their responsibility is on every play in every circumstance and secondly that they feel 100% confident in the technique they are supposed to execute on that snap. Put them in a scheme like mine where even players of average skill can add value on each snap and even excel and you have a winner. Confidence in role, responsibility and technique puts kids in a position to be potentially aggressive. Add in a method where you ease kids into contact so they gain confidence in their techniques and their ability to play physical football and you have yourself a team that plays «tough» and aggressive. Obviously we cover exactly how to do that step by step in the book.

The Study

In the two year study I did of the best and worst youth football teams in the area and the country I consistently found that the poorly performing teams almost always spent about half their practice time doing full speed scrimmages. In a good portion of the rest of their practices they often did lots of full speed full contact «drills» or «toughening up» type drills or conditioning. On the other hand the successful teams almost universally did little full speed scrimmaging, instead they worked a bunch on perfecting fundamentals and responsibilities.

What Really Worked

My personal teams over the last 8 seasons have gone 78-5 and we do very little full speed scrimmaging and full contact drills after «bloodying» the kids noses to get the feel of contact in the first few weeks. We use our valuable practice time perfecting technique and responsibilities, not beating the kids into the ground by «toughening them up». In those 83 games we were only out-hit once. We were never out-hit in any out of league games or out of state tournament games. Our kids love contact and crave contact because they have great technique, we limit it and only give it out as a «reward» and because the kids can «play fast» because they know their job in our scheme forwards, backwards and sideways. The kids accelerate into and through contact because they know with the proper technique they aren’t going to get hurt and they are going to be successful. You don’t get that by rushing kids into contact before perfecting base form. Once you’ve perfected base form then you move onto adding speed, angles and changes in direction, but you do it in a progression with fits. It is all explained in the book and DVDs.

Great Example of What NOT to Do

Here is an example of what some youth coaches are doing, this person I’m sure is a very nice well meaning person, BUT he is not a very good football coach. Can you tell me what’s wrong with this picture? The bad coaching example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WB0X-G4A-Ic

What’s Wrong With That Picture:

Coach obviously has not taught the kids how to execute a form tackle, they have their head on the wrong side 70% of the time, they have their head down 60% of the time, they don’t have their knees bent 75% of the time, they don’t wrap up 80% of the time, they don’t have a consistent contact point 100% of the time. They throw the ball back instead of running it back with just one ball in the drill and run through the drill instead of around it, using up 30% of the drills time. They get one rep off about every 45-50 seconds. This drill should be done with one rep every 10-12 seconds with several balls or no balls, to the point the kids and you the coach are breathing a bit heavy. The kids are bored and the drill steals so much practice time, yet could easily be corrected. Obviously these kids have never walked through a fit and freeze angle form tackling drill.

The Biggest Sin

The worst thing in my mind is the coaches praise kids that are obviously doing the drill incorrectly and in many cases unsafely. I’m all for praising kids for every little thing, down to tying their shoelaces properly, BUT it’s dangerous and counterproductive to praise them for tackling improperly. This is a great example of how not to do a drill and a great example of how to waste practice time with little or no tangible results. At least those reading this post can benefit on how NOT to do a tackling drill.

I realize these kids are very young, but I’m not sure what any of these kids learned during this «football practice». These kids fail to tackle well or do anything football related well at all.
