A team can learn a lot from what happens in the first game of the season. The time we spend correcting mistakes and making adjustments can result in tremendous benefits to the team and the season. It could be a change in the depth chart, inserting more competition in practice, or discovering what your team does best and focusing on that. We should always be evaluating in order to give our athletes our best so that they can show us theirs.
Coach Aych was a fantastic host last night as he fielded questions and discussed his offensive philosophy regarding RPOs and Play Action concepts. Having access to a college coach and coaches from all over during the season gives us the opportunity to continue to learn and update our coaching style while we are in season.
This week on #txhsfbchat we are fortunate to have Theron Aych from Angelo State joining us as our special guest. Coach Aych is taking time to lead us in a discussion about coupling the Run-Pass Options (RPOs) with with Play Action scheme in his offense. This will be an outstanding and relevant chat considering the…
Setting the tone early in the season is important. Many teams use their non-district schedule to prepare for and build momentum entering their district games and hopefully a deep playoff run.

If you haven’t done so, take the time to write down your goals for this season and post them somewhere visible and be accountable for the goals you have set. Good luck this season!
Social Media is a language our athletes speak that we have had to learn. It is important that we understand what goes on in their online world so that we can help them engage appropriately to become the human beings we are building them up to be.
If you can’t tell, I love Twitter. For me, it is the perfect online tool for immediate access and engagement with whatever audience is willing to listen. I have grown in my use of it from a news feed to, making snarky comments, to passing on class information, to engaging students, to participating in professional…
The coaches who participate are a huge part of what #txhsfbchat is and sometimes the chat doesn’t cover everything you’d like to know about a topic. That is why I have the suggestion form on the contact page of the website and you can message me anytime. Let’s keep helping each other and learning from coaches so that we can be the best professional network online!
