To this point, the game has been framed as of one of strength and brutality. It’s played by tough guys who are willing to endure the physical nature of the sport. Now many see the negative incidents highlighted almost weekly on the news as part of the culture of our game. As coaches, we need to help reset the image to showcase all of the positive aspects. Football really has become a thinking man’s game. Gone are the days of three yards and a could of dust. The top teams in the country at any level produce 500 yards a game of offense regularly. It’s no longer done with brute force. It’s execution of specific technique and strategy. Players need to read and react pre snap and post snap. Success on the field is reliant upon studying and understanding strategy and scheme.

I’ve been able to put together a team of coaches willing to share the details of what helps them be on the cutting edge of strategy, scheme, and technique. We will be releasing their work early in the off season and continue to find the best coaches with the best content and make it interactive. Check out a few early releases here: https://coachesedgetechnologies.com/store/.

In regard to what you can do to help our game, I’ve started a research project of my own asking coaches to send any plays where a concussion has occurred. The video will be used to help identify some solutions to help us with teaching blocking, tackling and other techniques in a way which we can make the game safer. Details on how to send video can be found here.

Thanks for your help. Please contact me if you want to get involved with Coaches Edge Technologies. grabkj@gmail.com
