The Three Keys to Winning Right Now with the Triple Option Offense
October 31, 2013
After Dozens of Camps, hundreds of consultations with coaches, and probably 1,000 articles written on the Triple Option, there are three conclusions to draw on winning NOW with the Triple Option:
1. Perfect Ball Security
2. Put the action key on the ground every play.
3. Perfect Read #1, Pitch #2 by the Quarterback.

This is all easy to say, but hard to do.
These are the three fastest ways to win with the Triple Option. By cancelling the first-level (easy to say-hard to do), the Offense moves at a much faster pace.
Perfect ball security allows for long drives when necessary. The average high school football offense has a ball-security issue every six plays. Emphasize holding the football with four points/pressure (fingertips, forearms, biceps, sternum) for Quarterbacks, A-Backs, and Receivers and five points/pressure (fingertips from BOTH hands, forearms, biceps, and sternum) for B-Backs.
So what are you going to prioritize in the future?
