Seven Areas the Triple Option Offense Builds Excellence through Character Building

December 31, 2013

The Triple Option Offense builds character possibly more than any other offense.

Who else requires character development more than those who protect us–our Navy and our Army.  They are entrenched in the Triple Option Offense and character is built with backside scoop blocks and backside cutoff blocks.

Here are seven areas in which the Triple Option Offense builds excellence through character building.

1- INTEGRITY – Match behavior with values.

Coaches must demonstrate your positive personal values in all you do and say. Be sincere and real when it comes to the offense.  If you are not a fan of the Triple Option Offense, do the right thing, step aside and allow someone who is take your position.

2- FAILURE LEADS TO SUCCESS – Learn from mistakes.

View failures as feedback that provides you with the information you need to learn, grow, and succeed.   Players must watch video of what they are doing wrong with their technique and this must be immediately corrected.  IMMEDIATELY.

3- SPEAK WITH GOOD PURPOSE – Speak honestly and kindly

Think before you speak. Make sure your intention is positive and your words are sincere.  The intention should always be to constantly provide players with information on how to technique their assignment.

4- THIS IS IT! – Make the most of every moment.
Focus your attention on the present moment. Keep a positive attitude.  Keep players mindful about the upcoming rep and keep them away from the scoreboard.  They must scoop, veer, and block #3 RIGHT NOW.

5- COMMITMENT – Make your dreams happen.

Take positive action. Follow your vision without wavering.  Players must have a vision of running this offense JUST. LIKE. NAVY.

6- OWNERSHIP – Take responsibility for actions.

Be responsible for your thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. “Own” the choices you make and the results that follow.  Players must know their assignment cold and know exactly how to technique their assignment through multiple practices with multiple situational football repetitions techniquing their assignment.

7- FLEXIBILITY – Be willing to do things differently.

Recognize what’s not working and be willing to change what you’re doing to achieve your goal.  Adjust in between series–not on Monday.  Players are relying on you for continual information.
