I love this post!!!!!!!!!

Practice is the key!!!!! Now I know that guys practice tweaking bases and ttqb, however this is not coaching, think about that for a minute.

What formation counters another formation, think, think think!!!!!!

For me I know what play I want to run and then you add the intelligence of the position, and position discipline, coaching discipline etc then you move away from luck into the skill of coaching.

Why wish and hope it happens when you can make it happen!

Now for what we do in my league, if you have a coach who just tweak bases an practices with the ttqb and he plays a coach who practices like and actual football team practices, then he already has the advantage through proper preparation.

Now if I can give advice to every person who reads this post it would be this;

Tweaking and ttqb skill are good, it's good to practice them, but it's not enough!

Hear are some things you should and make a common practice:

1: Know every player on you're team.
2: Organize you're side line area.
3: Practice setting up you're formation in 45 seconds or less.
4: Practice countering formation.
5: Practice running a set play 10 times, then run that same play verse 3-4 defense, 4-3, 5-2, etc (Run all you're play using this formula)
6: Practice you're kicking game, punts, field goals, etc.
7: Practice put and kick off returns.
8: Practice game situations, 3rd & 5, 4th & 2, 2nd & 10.
9: Practice reading the coverages, who is open, yards to gain, and clock management.
10:Practice looking for the weakness on you're opponets team.
11:Practice Pass Placement and TTQB passing and defense
12:Practice Base tweaking.

These are just a few things I do every day when I practice.

If you do the math, Practice TTQB +1, Base Tweaking +1 = 2 vs the 12 areas listed above who will have the advantage? 2 or 12 ?

What and how you practice is just as vital as how offten you practice!

So the next time you lose a game, don't say it was the style or system you played in, how about looking at how you prepared for that game!

Male pride is the chief reason why many coaches lose, they think they are better then they actualy are.

I hope that someone will learn from what I have wrote, take care and may the peace of God be with you all.
