Win 3, 4, or 5 more games next year. That is why you go to those coaching clinics, right? The trouble is that the information that you get there rarely applies to your team. Biggest Example? Defense. The number one offense that high school coaches have to defend, and stop, is still the Wing T or a form of the Wing T. How many of those college coaches will draw up a Wing T defense at the clinic you go to? Many of them will draw up a 3-5-3 defense, won't they? Perhaps you have made a 3-5-3 defense the basis of your package. If you have, I would say that unless you have superior talent on your team, when you go up against that Wing T team, you will lose.
And How about offense? Just how successfull can the average high school team be with the spread? The average high school has 5-600 kids attending. How often are you going to get a QB that can run the spread? How often are you ging to get the number of receivers that will consistenly run proper routes and catch the ball? Be realistic.
An EQualizer weekend clinic for your staff and team will give you the tools to win 3-4-5 or more games next year. What would that do for your program?

FREEB'S LAW
by CoachFree
In our Be An 11 Class we focus a great deal of attention on the concept of 'Positive Opposites.' In fact, on our classroom wall (which is completely adorned - floor to ceiling- with motivational posters and materials we have these two posters, side by side. On the left Murphy's Law, a picture of a '36 Ford stuck in the mud with people trying to push and pull its way out of it. The car is surrounded with Murphyisms especially "If anything can go wrong it will, and the worst thing that can happen will happen."
Next to the Murphy poster is the 'Road to Success' poster. Perhaps you have seen it, "The Road to Success is always Under Construction.' We'd really like to correct the poster maker and say, "The Success Road IS Always Under Construction" because once you make the decision to seek success is the minute you welcome more success into your life. Success is not something out there that you travel to - it is something that you experience all along the way.
Success is Choice; So is Failure. The choice is your. And you make those choices every day.
Getting back to the positive opposites. We like to counter Murphy's Law with Freeb's Law: If anything can go right, it will go right. And the best possible thing that can happen will happen; when you believe.
People in our society today have no trouble in identifying with Murphy and unfortunately more and more people fell that they are as stuck in the mud with Murphy, bogged down. How often do you have that bogged down feeling. It is, of course, a choice. A choice you made.
Not as many people identify with Freeb's Law. In fact, recent studies indicate that only 20% or less of the folks in the American work force are satisfied with their career choice. How sad. If you do not like the job you have, if you cannot get along with the people you work with daily, If you just have to drag yourself to work each day just to get a paycheck, I guess you would feel trapped, bogged down, desperate.
Would it not be better to Live You Dream?ng to be achieved. It is useless to dream the impossible dream if we do not translate that dream into first realistic, attainable, achievable goals and a plan "to make it happen." We need to have long term goals to maintain our focus and overcome short term adversities. Additionally, we need to break those long term goals down into seasonal, monthly, weekly and daily goals so that there is something we can do everyday to take another step in the achievement process. Knowing that there is something that we can do right now, today, to make our BIG DREAM come true should provide the motivation to help jump start the process and the day.

The WingT is still the number one
offensive scheme that a high school program must defense year in, year out. The
EQualizer Defense strategy puts your players in position to be successful in
shutting down the T Schemes.
Coach L from Maine "Back to the game vs Defending Conference
Champion and their double wing.. Our kids played like champions especially our
nose`TACKLE AT 6' 240 he bull rushed and rag dolled their center relentlessly,
time and time again he picked off the BSG and BST. Also our scouting of them
revealed some tendencies that by cross keying we beat up on there best back a
bit. In addition to reducing our tackles and widening our backers into a double
eagle look, we crashed our DE and instructed them to not worry about making
tackles but to just blow up the first opposite colored jersey that showed, our
kids were great with this and the starting QB did not answer the bell midway
through the second quarter as he got physically beat up. Now they were behind ,
we won 28-8, and their 2nd QB enters the game and before we had called off the
dogs in the 4th the back up Q had thrown 2 picks."
Another writes: "When the varsity was in, many of the
suggestions you provided worked very well. The team we played has averaged about
300 yards rushing per game this year and last year they ran for around 350 yds
on us. We won the game 41-16 and claimed the district championship, qualifying
our school for the playoffs for the first time in 28 yrs. I have been at this
school for 5 years and the excitement of having a winning football team is
really having a positive impact on the school. Thank you for taking the time to
immediately answer my email and to help me out in terms of defending the double
wing."
The Be An 11! CHALLENGE
On a scale from one to ten: How
good do you want to be?
WHY NOT CHOOSE TO BE AN 11!
Hear what others say about BFS's Be An 11
Program:
"BFS is a great tool for any high
school or coach! The best thing I have encountered in coaching. The BE an 11!
program is excellent for teaching kids character education and giving their best
at all they do." Beau Johnson
"Thanks again for coming up to spend
time with our athletes today. It was an ELEVEN!!!" Coach Mike Glennie
"Reaffirmed the Reason I Entered
Coaching 25 Years Ago." Coach Al McFarland
"Every School in the Nation Should
Schedule a Be An 11 Seminar Today! It is Without a Doubt the Best Thing that has
Happened to Our School." Coach T. Cox
"Be An 11 Has Changed My Life! I WILL
BE AN 11!" Katie Heinlen, Athlete
BFS's Founder and CEO asked me to help
develop our Be An 11 Seminar and Guidebook in part because I developed and
taught a Be An 11 type class in three different high schools over a 20 year time
period.
Be An 11 is needed now more than ever in
schools nationwide. I have developed a 90 minute Be An 11 message for your
athletes to hear called "The Be An 11 Challenge" - Eleven points on Being An 11
gleaned from a coaching career spanning five decades.
The Challenge is to hold yourself to a
higher standard than anyone else can reasonably expect of you to attain your
highest personal destiny and to help others achieve their personal destiny.
The normal, full Be An 11 Seminar
carries a $1700, but since I am in the area the cost for this special 90 minute
presentation is just $5/per athlete, 25 athlete minimum ($125). In addition, if
you decided to schedule a full, three hour, Be An 11 Seminar after this intro,
the amount of this 1-hour "11 On 11" presentation will be deducted from the
Seminar's $1700 fee. So if you would have 75 of your athletes attend at $5 each,
that $375 would be deducted from the $1700.
We could also meet and discuss other BFS
Programs, schedule an inservice for your district which would save thousands, or
we could schedule a time for an EQualizer Clinic for your staff. My total
playbook is available onlineEQualizer Football I have a short yardage play
that cannot be stopped – wouldn't you like a clinic on it; 800.628.9737 ex 603
rings through to my cell phone 24/7. The time slots are limited, so call or
email to schedule a time right away.
In June I was asked to speak at a
community meeting at a rural MI district called because two athletes in that
district committed suicide in the same month. Tragic. Be An 11 is needed now
more than ever. I do not want that to happen to you. There are kids there that
had knowledge and said nothing; they will live with their silence for the rest
of their live. I do not want that for any of your kids. Call me.
Zig Ziglar says this about Motivation:
People often say that motivation
doesn't last.
Well, neither does bathing -
that's why we recommend it daily.
Here is how this site is designed to
work: Each week I upload a new EQuote of the Week which usually has a picture
associated with it. It is designed to be a "read, write and respond activity"
that you conduct in class. Many coaches also print it out and place it on the
wall.
In addition: We try to upload a
DailyDose of motivation for each day of the week. I would hand out the DailyDose
at the end of class with just a few minutes remaining - enough time to see what
it was about, not enough to read it all. That way they would have to get it out
and read it some other time during the day to finish.
The DailyDoses are designed for you to
copy into a word processing program and for you to duplicate on site.
OK - Here's the newest thing: Join us on
FACEBOOK. Yes, we have started up a FaceBook page, at the prompting of the kids.
It's an amazing way to stay in touch with people... especially coaches:
Here's what we have done. FaceBook allows us to create an
EQualizer Group - a group of coaches. It allows us to chat back and forth;
create a discussion board to discuss topics. Log On and post your opinions.
You can post up some video of something that you are doing on
offense or defense and others can see it, comment about it, take what you have
and put it into your scheme. Martin has promised that he will put up that TE
screen of his and we all can see it. I have posted up clips of our Blast 34, the
most successful goal line, short yardage play ever along with Dive Option pass
which has been our best pass play over 4 decades.
So . . . go to facebook.com and start up a page, confirm me as
a friend, click on the EQualizer Group page and join. Get your kids to help you
get started. They know more about these things than us.
I'm thinking this can be a great tool for us to elevate our
game!
Join us on the BLOG. Yes, we have
started up a BLOG: EQualizer Football Faxuals. The purpose of the blog is to carry on
some kind of discussion group where coaches can exchange information on topics
that are important to them; sort of an extension of what we are doing here. If
you are inclined to join our discussion, we welcome you and appreciate your
input. I have decided to start up an "Online
Coaching Clinic" which will start witht he EQualizer Offense. To start with, I
will post things up on the EQualizer Football Faxuals BLOG. I would appreciate your input on this
concept. Post a comment on BLOG or email me what you think of this online clinic
format. Current
Topic on the BLOG: Whatever It Takes
Here we are at the Rose Bowl cheering the Ohio State Buckeyes on to victory over the Oregon Ducks. We drove back to Oregon with a smile on our faces.
CoachFreeb goes online to share Football Fax via
cyberspace. The information on these links
comes from over 30 years of coaching High School football. Much of what Football
Coaches know and do has been gathered from others in
the profession.With the advent of the internet we have
the opportunity to share information instantly. Our goal is that you will be
able to add some useful information to your coaching expertise as we swap the
things that we do best.
