Six Rules for Coaching Competitive Triple Option Players
December 3, 2013
There are specific rules that coaches must follow in order to coach competitive Triple Option players.
In order to get players to block, perfectly secure the ball, read #1, and pitch #2 with all-out effort, six things must occur:
1- Focus on the elite technical details of the block, the ball security technique, the read, or the pitch.
2- Coach to get as many full-speed repetitions of Triple and Midline Option as possible. Make this a healthy obsession during practice.
3- Think about the technical process not the scoreboard.
4- Give simplistic instructions, let the players technique those specific instructions, and give them feedback on whether or not they followed the specific instructions you just gave.
5- Be emotional AFTER practice and games. There’s no time for emotion during practices and games.
6- Use mistakes for motivational purposes. Challenge players to get better at something specifically technical.
The Triple Option is about a process-based approach to football. Triple Option Coaches are technically disciplined individuals… there is simply no other way.

The Big Idea in 171 Words
Here’s the problem. If you can’t block defensive linemen, you’ll never move the ball, you’ll never score points, and you’ll never win a game.
You need to understand why this disconnect occurs to overcome it and win.

“I know many coaches would rather install an offense the traditional way by researching it, visiting colleges that run the offense, and then picking coaches for information.
I have used that same strategy, and I know that it takes about three years to really gain an understanding of the offense and get players to execute it at a high level.
Consequently, in the research method, you do not have any collaboration with experts that are readily available when questions arise or resources that have consistency.
We wanted to give our players an offense that they could be successful with immediately.
We also concluded that by the time we visited colleges, bought DVDs, playbooks, and sent players to college camps to gain skills, we would have invested many times the cost…”

Before the 2010 season, Falls City HS (TX) had never won a regional championship in school history.
In 2010, after working with Triple Option Football Academy Owner, Lou Cella, Falls City HS (TX) won the Regional and State Championship for the first time in school history in Texas while scoring 680 points in 15 games.
“The biggest thing for us is that it gave our kids the opportunity to work together in our offensive system before the season started–the techniques and fundamentals they learned was so big, so was the team bonding, and so was having an outside source (Lou Cella) teaching them–this was invaluable.”
– Mark Kirchhoff, Head Football Coach

After working with Triple Option Football Academy Owner, Lou Cella, Bayfield HS (CO) had an undefeated regular season for the first time since 1996 and advanced to the state championship game in Colorado.
“We were looking to take that next step, and felt that a camp might be just what the doctor ordered. We were not disappointed. We were already committed to the triple option, but the camp brought a much higher level of focus and understanding to our team, both players and coaches. Now when we tell our kids to ‘trust the system’ they know what we’re talking about.”
– Marshall Hahn, Head Football Coach
