The Youth Football Lesson in This As youth football coaches what can we learn from Coach Leach? First let’s look for a moment at Coach Leach’s background. With the exception of one year of sitting on the bench of his High School football team as a Junior, he never played organized football. He got his Bachelors at BYU and then his Law Degree from Pepperdine. At age 25, married, with his second child on the way he decides he wants to be a College Football coach. Yeah right, After stops at College of the Desert, Cal Poly, Iowa Wesleyan, Valdosta State, Finland and Kentucky he is now the head coach of Texas Tech, Not bad for a self described “Christian with serious obedience issues”. He seems to look at things from a slightly different perspective, maybe even a sort of an “outsiders” viewpoint. He has amassed a 74-37 record at a school that rarely, no let’s rephrase that, never gets the top tier or even second tier talent in the state of Texas. Those players are reserved for Texas, Oklah …

Wooden took things like beating the Zone Press and made it his off-season project for the year. He would seek out the experts in that field, buy every book he could on the subject, go to clinics, go visit zone press teams, study it and seek out coaches advice in the off-season. Coach Wooden did this every year he coached, he chose just one narrow area of the game and made a commitment to excel in that area of the game. Just imagine the wealth of knowledge you would have if you did this for 5-10 years in a row. Unfortunately many youth football coaches just don’t have the base coaching knowledge like Coach Wooden would have. They know lots of good football drills, but …

The player understands the coaches standing on the team and understands the coaches, not the players have the better knowledge base on technique and strategy than the player. The player efforts. The player is able to “shake off” bad experiences and learn from them. The player does not “cop an attitude” when demoted or turn “Hollywood” when promoted. Unfortunately many youth football players go into their High School experience with bad habits fostered by their youth football coaches. Obviously many of these young men don’t change overnight into the selfish crybaby monsters many of the High School coaches complain about.
