Yep. Our offense uses steps and I just set it up so that the steps both get them to the appropriate depth (we use bangs or hurdles for those early drive steps with help them get to top speed) and there's so few times that they have to think of anything but their steps. This is factual info. A lot of times coaches burden athletes with a lot of info because we haven't given enough thought to how to make it more intuitive and work for every player.

these small details make the game so much more interesting. kind of regret playing soccer instead now :(

[jaymontez]

If I heard correctly no specific depth, but what about cross routes?

[TacticalB]

This elevated my game so much n semi pro football appreciate you

Great content as always coach! Can't agree more. Kids get slow at the beginning cause of the counting but they quickly run the routes way more efficient. One thing I struggled with was when the kids get bumped out of the rhythm with a squatting cb for example. How do you handle this?

Kinda dope I got the opportunity to guard Juwann Winfree at Coffeyville. We called him “Creature”

How do you estimate how many yards per step? Ex: 14 yard comeback=break on 4th step

Thank you for the videos. new HS coach here looking to give my guys the best basis of knowledge i can before the next level. any good articles/books/videos i can deep dive for this?

How do you recommend i count steps if/when i try to stem to gain (Leverage) on the DB? For instance, im running a 16 yard, 4th inside step Dig, vs a corner playing off man, inside tech. If i stem inside (two steps) RITE OFF OF THE LINE, .. Is that considered a part of my 1st of the 4 inside steps, or do i start counting once i start upfield? Thank you.

Infamous means ur famous for something bad

Can you tell me the step correlation to the routes again. For example the hitch you said on the second inside step break. For other routes what are the steps

[chrishateseveryone]

So i saw one of your vids and i started dropping the outside foot first on the comebacks, but now on this vid I’ve seen many people dropping the inside foot. Should i change?
