How to Create Mindful Triple Option Offensive Linemen
July 28, 2014
Mindfulness is the act of being intensely aware of what you’re sensing and feeling at every moment — without interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness exercises, can help Offensive Linemen direct their attention to the assignment and technique that they must execute.
These are the Triple Option Offensive Line Blocking rules:
Playside Tackle- Veer
Playside Guard- Base to Ace
Center- Veer to Ace
Backside- Scoop
In order to create mindfulness, coaches must do the following:
Make the familiar new again. Look at the blocking rules with fresh eyes. Everyday, re-teach the rules, identify, and then add one new detail about each assignment and technique that you have not added yet. As players become more aware of their assignment and technique, they become more mindful of the assignment and technique they face.
