Football Coaching Videos And What They Can Teach

By Odessa Edwards


Any coach who works with kids or even young adults will need at some point to be able to look at some videos of specific drills or game situations in order to progress their team from one level to another. There are a plethora of valuable football coaching videos available that can do just that for any coach.

When you first take over a youth sports team you have to make yourself familiar with the kids on your team and their parents. You should try and discover what it is that they hope to get out of the program and what it is, if anything, that their boy might need help with right off the bat. Having this information could be priceless.

When you have your first practice, depending on the age of the team, you will need to have some drills prepared as well as some lessons on safety and the proper way to hit another player. Football is a violent contact sport that requires players to ram into other players and there is always the chance that someone could get hurt.

As a leader of the flock it is your responsibility to make sure that does not happen. It is your job to make sure that even with all of the pads and protection the kids have on that they are aware of the potential to get hurt and they know the proper way to both take and give a hit. This cannot be stressed enough. As a coach it is also your job to make them aware of the importance of the lesson.

This is where rookie coaches will often run into trouble. Having not worked with kids playing such a violent sport there are lessons that you will need as well and this is where the videos come in. There are a variety, a large variety of websites that focus around the coaching of youth sports and football in particular.

These are some of the most important things that you will have in your possession as you start your first year. It is great to have a book or something tell you how to run drills or what drills help the kids learn how to take a hit the proper way for example. But to actually see it done, on a television is something that will help the lesson stay with you.

After someone does a job like this for a few years they tend to amass a certain amount of these things anyway. And even if you are one of those coaches who has a substantial amount of information available to you and you feel as if you really have no need for something like this. Like you have no need for anything new. You have your program set and you are happy with it.

Watching football coaching videos is a priceless opportunity that all first year coaches should take advantage of. Even people who have done this for years could benefit from some of what they might see on the screen. There is never someone who knows everything. There is always the opportunity to learn more.
