Usa Football Coach And Coordinator Podcast

One of the most important things you can do as a position coach after the game is to grade the film. It gives you tangible, quantifiable information on what your players did and what they need to work on. It also reflects on you as well. As the saying goes, “you are either coaching it or allowing it to happen.” This can be done in multiple ways from percentage grades to detailed explanations on each play of what is right or wrong. The single most important aspect of grading film is that when the process is finished each player has a clear idea of what they are doing well and what they need to work on, and you as a coach should be able to turn that into something actionable in the practice plan. Furthermore, that should extend into game planning. As a position coach being able to tell the coordinator, “We are doing this really well” or “We really need to focus on this in order to see it work on gameday” is important information when putting together the plays you will use against the next opponent.
