On to 2026: Turn Your Struggling, Undersized Team into a Winner with Triple Option Football Academy
Hey Coach,
If you’re a head high school football coach leading a struggling, undersized team—always the underdog, battling bigger, deeper programs week after week—it’s time to change the game. Your players have grit, but facing stacked odds every Friday? The Triple Option Football Academy is your weapon to level the playing field and transform your squad into a relentless force that dominates despite the odds.
I’m Dr. Lou Cella, Sport and Performance Psychologist and founder of the Triple Option Football Academy. For over 15 years, we’ve empowered coaches like you to master the Army/Air Force Flexbone Triple Option offense—a system tailor-made for underdogs. Forget trying to out-muscle opponents; this is about out-smarting them with precision, clock control, and a mindset that unlocks actualization, awareness, self-mastery, and peak performance for your players. Turn small rosters and lightweight lines into a disciplined unit that dictates the game and frustrates bigger teams.
Picture your team grinding through 600+ plays in a 3-day camp on your campus, mastering Zone Dive, Midline Triple, Rocket Toss, and situational football. Or dive into our Online Academy for $997: 100+ hours of video, elite practice plans, a 3-Step Clinic, live webinars, and my personal 24/7 support to solve any challenge. Camps start at $2997 (with regional pricing) and include full Academy access. We optimize every rep, building confidence and physicality without exhausting your players.

These were small, undersized programs—often with 14-25 players, no all-stars—yet months after our camps, they racked up wins, playoffs, and championships. The Triple Option’s simplicity accelerates learning, its physicality toughens your defense, and its adjustments keep bigger teams guessing.
