Ninety-five clinics down, and about 139 to go. Last week concluded another busy traveling weekend, as we had 15 clinics. Except for winter storms delaying travel for a few of our employees, it was a successful weekend reaching coaches from coast to coast.

This week alone, we’ll hit 15 more clinics. Luckily, we have plenty of travel lovers in the office who help make this possible.

Pay Attention to Your Passing Game

It’s time to give your quarterback the attention he deserves. This is the perfect opportunity to apply your improved, simplified attitude and increased repetitions.

Passing five times a game applies much greater pressure than passing 20 times a game. The value-per-rep and the cost of failure increases as game-time passing repetitions decrease. Too often, coaches get mad at their quarterback for making the incorrect read on a play, but they only practiced the play seven times that week. When the repetition is reduced, success becomes scarce.

Optimize your QB play with more passing in practice and during games. Interceptions will happen, but that is part of the process; without failure, there is no learning.

National Signing Day is a great time to congratulate the Class of 2013 on excellent high school careers and wish them well in playing at the next level.

It’s also the perfect reminder that the classes of 2014 and 2015 don’t have long before they’re the ones at the podium, announcing their school of choice.

Whether you’ve already started the recruiting process or you have yet to give it any thought, take a look at some tips we collected from college coaches across the country.

In December, we made it our mission to find out exactly what coaches around the country wanted to learn at this year’s Glazier clinics. What we heard repeatedly was that coaches were most interested in learning what “the school down the street” was doing with Hudl that they were not.

We have been traveling around to schools across the country learning the best workflows and we want to showcase them to you at a Glazier in 2013.

Repetitions are the Key to Keeping Tempo

You know getting reps during the team segment of practice ensures the offense and defense get a game-like environment. Clearly, you should increase team segments as the season goes on, right? Wrong. Sacrificing individual skill development and consistency quenches discipline and fundamentals.

Now that you have all coaches and players on the same page with a common language and simplicity, it’s time to organize your practice to give team and individual reps the attention each deserves.

Maximize Your Practice, Coach

Does your quarterback look indecisive on the field, are your pass plays hit-or-miss, or is the win column paltry?  You might have a talent problem or a coaching problem. Then again, maybe it’s a practice problem.

For 15 years, I observed hundreds of football programs ranging from youth to Division I and made a critical determination: Successful programs share several things in common, but the most crucial to QB consistency and pass completion is a well-planned practice.

The New Year is here, which unfortunately means the end of high school and college football. On the bright side, it also marks the beginning of another busy clinic season for Hudl!

It all starts with one of the biggest meet-ups of the year, the American Football Coaches Association convention. We will be sending more than 20 Hudlies to Nashville this week for the AFCAs, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick off 2013.
