Backfield Footwork Backfield Footwork B B- -Back Teaching Back Teaching & QB Teaching & QB Teaching SEE: *Teaching Points SEE: *Coaching Points SEE: *REC Points SECTION #0A #1 Stretch Zone #2 Split Zone #3 Sweep (pin & pull) #4 Inside Gap (Counters & Power) #5 Backdoor Series
3 KEYS 3 KEYS 1. Attention to Detail and Teaching (Simplify Learning) - the little things matter = everything must be done exactly as taught - teaching needs to minimize techniques so that you can master them - teaching needs to scaffold concepts to simplify learning & processing 2. Consistency builds Competence (Simple & Efficient) - QB & Backs Sidecar Alignment the same for every concept - Backs first 3 steps are the same for every concept (Pivot + 1-2-3) 3. Gain Experience through practice (Staff and Players Both) - use active learning and processing with every part of practice
