Every football position coach needs to identify the 4 most important skills for their player to have. These skills need to be covered every single day in practice, and perhaps even during pre-game warm-up. Those drills become known as our “Every Day Drills.”
For us, these are position-specific drills and do not include the basics which all defenders must do. We will have a separate period for pursuit and tackling.There should be no discussion of individual play calls during these periods. In fact, after Day 1 or 2, there should be no discussion during this period. Everything is habit, everything is planned, because we do these drills every day. This is not a time for creativity, it is a time for establishing great habits in the players.
