Clear and concise communication is critical for today’s game day operations. And to acquire the systems that provide that communication, coaches spend tens of thousands of dollars of their budgets…until today.

Patrick Daberkow is the head coach at NAIA Concordia University in Seward, Nebraska. In this episode, Coach Daberkow tells his story about creating The Headset App, which allows coaches an incredibly affordable way to have the entire staff on the headset on all the channels it needs.

The Headset App has allowed Concordia to become much better on offense, while freeing up the budget to spend on more coaches on staff rather than just on technology only used on game day.

In this week’s clinic segment from Lauren’s First and Goal, Toledo Co-OC/QB Coach Robert Weiner shares insight into quarterback play as it relates to movement in the pocket. In the world of thousands of cool-looking drills on video and social media, Coach Weiner boils it down to essential movements to be taught, encompassing everything that a quarterback has to do in the pocket.

While the drills are simple, the movement patterns take time to develop. Coach Weiner explains the two umbrellas of QB movement – slides and spacing – as well as the four movements he has identified through study. He believes it is all a mathematical equation of if-then statements. While his perspective is through the lens of a QB coach, the approach to skill development is something all position coaches can learn from.

Longtime listeners of this podcast know that our host Keith Grabowski has always been interested in the use of technology to make our jobs more efficient and effective.

In this episode, AJ Antonescu, offensive line coach at Lake Travis High School in Austin, Texas, joins Coach Grabowski to discuss the tools and workflows deployed by the Cavaliers to improve their self-scout and game planning, as well as the new technology platform they use to make it simple and accurate.

Self-scouting is an undervalued and underperformed function of a post-game review. It tells us a lot about our team, gives us insight into how an opponent views us, and allows us to put together a better plan for practice, carry it into the game plan, and in some states, into game-day decision making.

AJ Antonescu is entering his second season at Lake Travis, a six-time Texas state champion. The program is currently led by head coach Hank Carter. Since Coach Carter took over as head coach in 2010, the Cavaliers have won three state championships with a record of 155-26 over that time.

Throughout the offseason, we have been sharing an audio-friendly segment of a clinic presentation. Today, we listen back to an informative segment from Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic, in which Rhode Island linebackers coach Chris Lorenti gives an overview of their game-planning process and the important questions they ask themselves when defending the run game.

As we get closer and closer to the season, now is a good time to review your game planning schedule and the division of work to be done amongst your staff, especially if you have new staff members or assignments.

In his full presentation, Coach Lorenti goes into how the game plan then translates into practice and the different drills they may use to fit the run and tackle. As always, all Lauren’s First and Goal presentations support the efforts to fund pediatric brain tumor research and cancer services.
