I often see High School football coaches that are taking over teams new to them, saying on these various football forums; “My handprint on the program won’t be felt for 5 years”. Those are the words of a football coach that has very little confidence in his coaching abilities and someone that sounds like they really covet thier head coaching job. Turnarounds do not take that long, they can be immediate.

I was driving with my wife and family on Sunday discussing with my her some of the conversations I had with youth football coaches over the phone this week. In many ways she is much smarter than me and looks at things through perspectives I rarely consider. She astutely recognized that youth football players have no clue if the scheme they are being taught is fundamentally sound, age appropriate or is being taught correctly. In most cases they look up to their coaches because of the position the coach holds and views him as the expert. In the youth football players mind, if they are failing with the scheme and or technique it is because they are not a very good football player and never will be. But the truth is when they fail, it is often because the scheme makes no sense for the age, practice time, coaching expertise and skill level of the player and team. How would they know?
