Three Ways the Triple Option Head Coach Serves as an Educator
1. Utilize specific terms.
Care about the specific terms you are utilizing. Terms such as Scoop, Deep Defender, #3, Ace, Read #1, Pitch #2 are more than just words. These terms must be clearly defined.
2. Be brief by teaching each term within a progression.
Possess a step-by-step process to teach each term. Utilize visual and video aids to teach the significance of each term. Quickly install the terms and get players to drill and execute based on the terms.
3. More detail = more control.
When the head coach choreographs each foot step of each assignment, the head coach gains control of his players and assistant coaches as he is demonstrating that offensive football is going to be played accurately and correctly. The buck always stops with the Triple Option Head Coach.
