Here is the text of an Interview I did with the Single Wing Sentinel. The Guard is an excellent resource for Single Wing coaches as it showcases High School groups around the country that are running the Single Wing Offense.
Go to football clinics. Head coaches are always out at centers promoting themselves and their programs. Bring your resume and ask if the coach is looking for assistance, then request for an interview. This type of initiative is remarkable to the coach and shows a peek of your self-confidence and character.
Another way to find a training task is through school district websites. With the age of the internet, a growing number of school districts are putting job openings in addition to football coaching jobs on their school and district sites. You are also provided all the contact details you require to connect with the district personnel departments in addition to the training personnel contact information.
With long term coaches specific prospective issues do not exist. The normal issues of playing time and gamer positions must never ever be a point of contention within the personnel. I have 2 guys that have been with me for over 15 years. We operate like a well oiled device. We are on the same page so preparing gameplans is a breeze. There is no substitute for a long term coaching relationship.
We let the kids know they will not get "shouted at" in a game if they make mistakes. All we expect football practice is that they attempt their best and go all out every play. We highlight this by remembering a game where one player fumbled 4 times and how we reacted to this. We didn't yell at him, now he may have gotten an unclean appearance from me, I am human but the kid was playing bull blast. We just didn't run any more football plays where he got the ball that day.
Do not Over condition. Because your high school coach was a vicious SOB doesn't imply it is the ideal thing to do, just. Because of coaches like this, too many kids drop out. Conditioning is good, running them until they puke might not be.
Dave wants developing youth coaches. Dave's book "Winning Youth Football an Action by Action Plan" and his system has aid teams get much better. It has actually helped slower groups complete with the speed of its challenger by allowing them to pound the ball and control the clock. The Single-Wing has actually helped typical groups to finally make it to the play-offs, and turned great groups into Champions. His book has helped coaches establish teams that are competitive and well arranged, while having fun and maintaining players.
