Sample Journal from Success Guide
2002 Practice Journal 
Started practice with my warm-up routine (in success guide). Paid significant attention to form in the running drills explaining this is not a race. This is a form running drill that should look good to fans. All players should move to the ten yard line at the same pace, then turn and sprint at the ten yard line as a group......20 minutes

Went straight to defense. Before hand I made out a depth chart (in success guide) using my height weight, speed, vertical jump, and long jump as a guide. Explained positions and placement. Corners at least 6 yards past last man on line of scrimmage, and 3 yards deep. If a receiver comes out, back up at least to 5 and line up in front of him. Free safety 10 yards off ball. Outside linebackers in the tackle end gap 2-5 yards off the ball. Middle backer right behind nose. Tackles and nose man head up and three point stance. Ends outside eye of last man on line of scrimmage.

We made sure they could get lined up by themselves by huddling up. Huddle up with noseman calling huddle, tackles and ends toe to toe and shoulder to shoulder beside him. Corners behind ends, outside linebackers behind tackles, free safety behind noseman, middle linebacker call plays in front. Explained a 50 defense is called that because of a 5 man front. Explained we will use a 50, 60, and a 70 but now we will concentrate on the 50.Called 50 by holding out my five fingers and had the linebacker call the play. Explained we call the play out twice "50.....50" then "reeaaddyy BREAK". After the break we examined the positions and placement with detail again. Went through the huddle break and placement about 5 times. Told them to get off the field. Told them to come back and call the huddle. Then I set up two coaches at wideout and went over a scaled down version of pursuit drill and ran it about 10 plays with very little intensity........ 45 minutes.

Took break.....10 minutes

Used blocking dummies, one hand held and one stand up, to go over tackling and blocking technique. Explained one quick step and fire out with hands on defenders chest, bow your neck, chop your feet, keep contact for at least 3 seconds.
Tackling dummy explained, neck bowed, drive through with your hands, finish with the hands high, aim your head to one side of runner....20 minutes

Took ten minutes to look for a QB and center. Lined up 2 centers, 2 QB's, and 2 receiver lines to throw balls too.

Offense. Lined up players according to my pre filled out depth chart using  weights and speeds. Explained these are not set in stone. Put in a different QB and Center than I had originally thought, based on the quick tryout. Went over positions, splits, and hole numbering. Explained guards line up toe to centers heel, one grown up foot width apart. Had the guards tackles and ends hold each others arms to get good splits. Called huddle. Center calls huddle 7 yards off ball in youth football, then guard, and tackles toe to toe shoulder to shoulder, ends behind tackles, wingback/powerback behind one guard, fullback behind the other, tailback in center, QB' calls the play. Called power i right and ran 5 huddle, break, and play with team sprinting ten yards each play. No hand offs just huddle line up and splits, run play.

8-20-07 Monday Pads

5pm start

-Stretch /

-Form running /

High knees, slide step, carioca, back peddle. 10 yards form and 10 yards sprint

through.

-Monkey rolls

Took some time here with some of the bigger guys. Told the groups that did it

good to remember who they were with so they can get it looking good and get

out fast.

-15-20 minutes

-Straight to 3 Stations:

-Angle tackling 4 minutes

Emphasize keep your neck bowed, get lower than opponent, grab the jersey, get

em on the ground.

-Chute Tackling 4 minutes.

Get tacklee to put arms over top of chute and let tackler hit him square in the

numbers but, protect yourself, square your feet and try to make it hard on the

tackler. Do not duck to one side before initial contact. If you do run to the fence.

Tackle to the ground, keep feet moving, do not slide down to legs but drive

through the body and twist jersey to the ground.

-Board Drill 4 minutes

Keep feet on both side of board. First person to get driven back or of board loses.

Using alternating cadence and move football. This helps teach the players to

watch the ball on offense and defense. Get lower than opponent. Cannot touch

the ground with your hands after contact or you lose.

-Break 5 minutes

Start 5.39pm

-Backs and Line. 25 minutes.

-Line We spent considerable time getting down a lineup and marking the names

on my offensive depth chart sheet from the templates page.

-Backs Coach Sheffield worked the backs. He used my timer for 10 minutes then

we sent snappers to start getting reps. You need 2 good snappers and 2 good

quarterbacks and plenty of snap reps.

-We talked about gaps and how to block playside and backside.

We are doubling the nose playside with the guards and back side guard fires out

to block the best defender (Mike, middle linebacker). So the guards and center

know what to do ALL THE TIME. Backside blockers, block the man in front of

you. Playside blockers (tackle and end) are almost always the same. Tackle

either x blocks with the end on called x block power, blocks the tackle or pulls

backside for the sweep and trap. End block the outside linebacker on most plays

and the backs or pulling tackle get the ends.

Red White and Black are automatic plays we run on set. Sometimes we just

holler red, red, red. The players run on the field. The guards hollers get your

splits and looks and the QB hollers DOWN and looks to make sure everyone is

locked and pow we got on set. This is great for a turnover or after a good long

offensive play.
