Coaching Youth Football - Copy Cat Coaches

If you search the internet for coaching materials, one thing you will find is plenty of opinionated coaches telling you that their way is the best way ( and in some cases the only way). You will hear stories about winning streaks and get dozens of testimonials from coaches that implemented their system and had a great season.
I'm sure there is merit to their stories but the truth is that many systems can work when coaches believe in them and have a solid plan of implementation . The concept of coaching is that we evaluate our talent and attempt to determine the best system for them to succeed. If you have a wildly talented team full of speed players, the single wing offense might not be the best use of that talent. On the other hand if you have a young or slow team you may find that the single wing gives you a chance to confuse the defense with misdirection.
This is why I have chosen to make my new book "The Youth Football Coaches Handbook" interactive. The book is delivered as an e-book and there are multiple playbooks, drill templates and game management tools that are completely customize to fit your needs. I'm not looking for letters telling me how someone implemented "my" system and succeed.... I'm looking for letters telling me how you implemented "your" system and succeeded .
Good luck this season and hopefully you will find this book to be a useful tool that promotes your learning the process of coaching and helps you to enjoy yourself as you continue your coaching career.
