EP#1-From Player to Coach: Why we got into coaching football??
Ever wondered what football looks like through a coach's eyes? Desert Valley Blitz hosts Coach Bobby and Coach Josh pull back the curtain on their decades of coaching experience in the Coachella Valley, revealing how the game transforms when you're calling the plays instead of making them.
From their humble beginnings as young coaches (Josh was just 20 when he joined La Quinta's championship staff, while Bobby started at 22 with Indio), they share candid stories about learning on the job. "My coaching brain turned on," Josh explains, describing how even watching Sunday football became an exercise in analyzing schemes and techniques. Bobby reflects on his years coordinating defense at Indio during rebuilding seasons, where strategic innovation became essential when facing talent disadvantages.
The conversation dives deep into what makes football the ultimate teaching tool. Unlike basketball where a single superstar can dominate, football demands synchronized execution across all positions. This requirement for collective responsibility builds character, accountability, and community connection that extends far beyond the field. Both coaches highlight the "chess match" that unfolds between coordinators during games – a strategic dimension most spectators never notice as they follow only the ball while coaches analyze gap responsibilities, leverage techniques, and defensive rotations.
Desert Valley Blitz aims to strengthen connections across desert football programs by highlighting matchups, breaking down film, and celebrating coaching excellence throughout the valley. Whether you're a player, parent, coach or fan, join us as we spotlight the upcoming season, from La Quinta's challenging opener at Yucca Valley to identifying which program might become this year's surprise contender. Send us your game film and coaching strategies – we're building something special for desert football, and we want you to be part of it!
