Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI connect with the athlete first. I’ll ask goals they want out of life, myself & themselves. Football won’t pan out if the athlete isn’t connected to themselves. Then we will start with a routine they can have to warm-up. I begin with start and stance. Start from ground up.
Lesson 11+Here I will begin to discuss the game within the game, take situational awareness into the picture. Give as close to live game reps as possible. Getting them to think when they are tired. Create healthy habits & great confidence in self. But none of this happens without START & STANCE
Lesson 4-10If they are on the same page as me I will begin to incorporate hand placement & eye discipline. Once they have a grasp of the run game we will graduate to pass game.
Lesson 2-3After the routine the next lesson will show gradual footwork for zone & gap scheme. They will know the proper time to use this footwork.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonStart & Stance as well as a professional routine. We will discuss goals & expectations. We will go over healthy habits they have & what they would want to improve.
Lesson 11+We will go over everything we have discussed up to this point. I will give them various alignments of the defender. I want them use the tools I’ve given them in order to execute the block for the given scheme or pass protection.
Lesson 4-10We will begin to teach pass game. What pass sets to take against certain techniques. We are going to rep it out until comfortable with 4 sets. Show how to give defenders different hand punches.
Lesson 2-3Put a defender across from them with movement. We learn thru repetition. Once they have shown they know Inside, mid & wide zone we we will incorporate double team landmarks. Importance of quick efficient footwork. Same for gap scheme w/ proper hand placement.
Youth players
Working with kidsFor the kids I want to teach them start and stance. I want them to get comfortable being uncomfortable. I will sit down with the youth & talk life with them. Teach them how to breathe while moving their bodies. This way they are present while training as well as in the classroom.
Working with teenagersTeenagers I will shift to listening to them before speaking. I will ask them what they know so I can grasp an understanding of them as a human. We will start with the importance of routine. Then go to start & stance so they have a foundation. Then we will elevate as they are able to grasp my lessons.
What you need to bringBring Water & A great attitude. Optional if you’d like to bring Pads & Helmet if you want to get comfortable in your gear.
What I can bringI’ll bring Hand Fighting equipment, cones, bands, agility ladder, posture equipment, lacrosse balls etc.

Coach Pope was an exceptional coach who led with calmness and composure. He didn’t rely on yelling or pressure instead, he taught through steady actions and a relaxed demeanor that made it easier for us to learn and trust him. What really set him apart, though, was how much effort he put into building real connections with us. He took the time to understand who we were as people, not just players, which made a huge difference. For me, he was the glue that held our offensive line together. His yoga sessions and the attention he gave to each of us showed that he genuinely cared. That kind of support isn’t something you see from a lot of coaches, especially in football. Because of him, everyone felt valued, and that brought us closer as a unit.

Your coaching has had an insane impact on my life. You’ve taught me how to be patient and love myself. You’ve taken the time to get to know us and connect with us on a deeper level than any other coach ive ever had and its not even close. You made us all comfortable with you and allowed us to open up knowing we were free of judgement. You changed me in an extremely positive way!
Caden McNivens
I think I speak for everyone when I say you left a positive impact on us all never failed to put a smile on our faces and make even the stuff that sucked fun. You helped me understand the game and love the game on another level and always kept a positive vibe. Love you coach!
Nicolo G.
Hey Coach, thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me and the guys over this past year with you. I wouldn’t want to have gone through it with anyone else. You taught me patience, accountability. You showed us how to prepare and take care of ourselves both mentally and physically. Which I feel most o line coaches don’t do. Thank you for slowing things down for us and being patient. I have no complaints about you and how you coached us and wish you the best for what’s next.

Coach P’s ability to explain things helped us see the game in new ways. He coaches things up well when someone is making a mistake and he walks them through it. i have 0 complaints and im blessed to have had him as my coach during my first year playing varsity. The incoming seniors still say some of his phrases 😂. There is no better coach I would have played for.
