The 5-Minute Football Coach - Ep.95 - Coaching Point (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What makes an effective coaching point? In this episode of The 5 Minute Football Coach, we look at how coaches can turn mistakes into genuine teaching opportunities without resorting to shouting, anger or embarrassment. The key is understanding the gap between what you wanted the player to do and what they actually did. A simple three-step approach — restate what you wanted, explain what the player did, and detail what they need to do to bridge the gap — can make coaching clearer, more concise a
The 5-Minute Football Coach - Ep.94 - DBs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of The 5 Minute Football Coach, we get into defensive-back technique and the return of the backpedal.

The answer is progression: teach the technique, teach players how to use it at speed, introduce contact, and eventually put them against opponents who have to make decisions. Good O-line coaching isn't just abo
The 5-Minute Football Coach - Ep.91 - Football vs Coaching (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is the difference between knowing football and knowing how to coach football? In Episode 91 of The Five Minute Football Coach, we look at the distinction between football knowledge and coaching knowledge. Being a former player gives you experience, but coaching requires something more: the ability to translate your knowledge into something another person can understand, apply and improve. Football knowledge may be the foundation, but translation is coaching. Episode Summary There is a diffe
