Beginner training plan
Your first trainingStart with basic positional knowledge related to student. I want to make sure that players I coach have a firm foundational understanding of their positions goals and answering any questions related to this inexperience. I would like to make sure that players can be confident in their position and what to do when they are unsure of what to do and teach them to make quick decisions when it comes to game day.
Training 2-3I would like to still work on basics and seeing how they progressed, while also incorporating more physical activity to see how they can perform under pressure.
Training 4-10After the first couple sessions I’d want to incorporate more cardio and other drills related to their position to get closer to build up their confidence. I would also push them harder and face them with more complex situations they might face.
Training 11+I would be more confident if their abilities have shown to improve since the first session. For example if I was coaching a lineman, I’d want them to explain to me how and why they would block an edge defender on read options and who’d they block after a double team and how to read and react to defenses.
