Is Practice A High Tempo Offense?

The book, “Training Camp” by Jon Gordon is an inspirational story filled with invaluable lessons and insights on bringing out the best in yourself and your team. The story follows a little boy named Martin Jones who was a undrafted rookie trying to make it into the NFL.. He spent his whole life proving many critics that a guy with a big heart but is small can succeed against all the odds.After Martin sprained his ankle during preseason, he thought that he lost his dream., but then he meets a very special coach. The coach was a great mentor, he shared eleven lessons about life that kept his dream alive. This help him a lot and even made him to be one of the best of the best.

The following practices were disastrous, some of the team did not even bother to show up. Coach quickly got fed up with the no show teammates. When we would scrimmage with the other teams we would always lose. This led to team arguments and lack of teamwork. Coach finally said that he had had enough with the team and stated he had coached our team voluntarily. That day

Most coaches just expect their players to show up, follow the rules, and try their best. If a player is on time and doing their best at practices, then the coaches are usually happy and satisfied. Mount Vernon coaches would actually be angry at their players if they lied about having an injury, because that would result if the player being out of the the season longer than if they taken a break to heal their wounds. While coaches want to win games in Mount Vernon, just as the coaches of the Permian Panthers, they still respect the health of their players and almost always put them first.

Coach King was one of the greatest coaches I have ever had. He came off as this mean and grumpy old man at first but we ended up changing how we viewed him. He made it clear to us that we just had understand his meaning of the word GAS. GAS meant grades, attitude, and then skill. Grades of course were the most important thing because no pass no play was the rule. Most of the guys had no problems with this but there was quite a few that had some trouble. When one was struggling we all had to step up and help if we wanted to have a full squad for our next few games. We did many things to help them including getting help from tutors or teachers when in danger of failing. As the year went on, many obstacles were thrown at us and we counted on each other to get through them.

Since football is a team based activity and there is a great degree physical contact, football coaches may need to give players incentive and motivate maximum effort. They also may need to travel for away games and other sporting events. Coaches normally work late nights and long weekends, when a great deal of football games are scheduled.

What role(s) did you take within the team and how did you personally contribute to the level of success your team achieved? Provide some specific examples

I am responsible for the scheduling of all home games and coordinating all fields with the Philadelphia Parks and Recreations department. I order and keep inventory of all equipment and supplies for the team.

On Saturday November 4th, I visited Maine South High School to observe the athletic training room facility. I had emailed the Head Athletic Trainer, Jerry Bornhoff prior to my attendance to make sure I was allowed to shadow him for the day. A Maine South football game was scheduled for the afternoon, and the facility was packed with football players. Throughout the time I was there, I made sure I noted the whole process of an athlete from when they first arrived and when they left the training room facility.

Summer, a season where many are free to do whatever they please and not have a worry in the world. This is not the case, however, for a high school football player such as myself; for classes being released marks the start of another season, not summer, but football season. It was a hot day on Mount Diablo High’s football field; I could already feel sweat dripping down as I stood there in my armor. Players were separated between two categories: Skills players and the Linemen. The coaches came and said we had to do hitting drills to start of practice. So the linemen, Erik, D’antae, Xavier, Charlie, Jarreck, Anthony, Josh, and I, created a circle and waited to see who the coaches would call out first. To my surprise, there was someone in the

Tell me about your current team. What are your team members’roles and how do they work together?

You have to know that it's not a game, the boys and coaches are serious about the game so that's what we had to be focused on as well. Others around us thought that our jobs were to do nothing but give out water, when in reality there was so much more to it than that. It was a matter of respect, leadership, and being dependable. We had respect for ourselves, the trainer, and coaches even if the got upset with us sometimes. We always tried to lift them up and show leadership and encouragement when anyone was down, injured, or after any losses. We had to be dependable when they needed us. Keeping good grades incase we had to miss class to prepare for football games on fridays. I grew to love football more and more on and off of the

To achieve all these different qualities one needs a complete workout. We tried to show our players that true football players require all around athleticism no matter what position they play. Certain aspects may be more important to one position than another but still, plays a large role in the abilities of a player. Although, I worked out with mostly our linemen, doesn’t mean they were in shape outside either. Linemen are all about size and strength (both defensive and offensive), but when you see a big play by a lineman it's usually because they show what they can do with other talents as opposed to simply using size. Not to mention, we don’t just build players to workout. We make successful men who take the hard work to the classroom and further on with their lives. Overall, week 3 was pressed on workouts for our football players and keeping both fields up to

Our coaches would tell us the game plan and gives us scouting reports, which every player was supposed to look over before it was game time. The day after every game there would be a meeting that would take place. The coaches will show us game film from the day before and tell us what we did right and what we did wrong. Communication is a big topic that during the game because the coaches would tell the team what the opponent was doing to stop us or to stop them from scoring. Every player had to talk to one another in order to help the team to be a success, if the players did not communicate with one another it would lead to the other team taking advantage of the mistake. Any time there was communication the group bonded every time because trust is a main factor for every player on the team. A genre for the group would have to be the rules that are given. Each football team has forty-eight minutes to score more points then the opponents. The rules on the field must be known as well, in most occasions each player must not break these rules or they will get penalized for this. As a community knowing how the game is played and the certain rules called are important to the group’s

Initially, I tried to communicate with the children in the same manner that I do with everyone else, but I quickly learned how inefficient that approach was. The first lesson I learned was to explain every detail to the players, rather than assume they had a base knowledge of the subject. On our team, we had players with a wide variety of experience in playing football: players in their first year of playing to players that had been playing for as many as four years. In my first couple of practices not all of the kids understood what I was saying to them and what they needed to do to meet my expectations. I would say things like “hit the hole” and “secure the ball” without explaining what that meant. Only the kids with prior experience playing
