I am spending far too long watching film and deconstructing youth football offenses. See, the reason Belichick is fantastic is because he dedicates his life to the stuff. I can only offer a handful of hours without watching a major juggled ball plummet to the earth. Yes, I know that means I do too much, but we’ve covered that. In truth, I am at the end of a rope when it comes to doing too much and the end of a semester will allow time for deeper introspection on what I actually want to devote a lot of my time towards.
In the meanwhile, I’m breaking down youth football plays in hopes of creating the conditions to win the playoff game three weeks from now and earn a spot at the championships. My one persistent fear: I haven’t given any real thought to this week’s opponent. We dogged them 19-0 in what is easily our worst game of the season, but there is little motivation for my kids to stand up and play this one–especially in the heat. All I can really preach is finish strong, so I’ll do just that. In the meanwhile I’ll still be breaking down footage to assemble a gameplan to crush these guys in the rematch.
Some Thoughts:
- Thursday is the NFL draft. This means football season has come round at last.
