Today’s guest is John Weaver, the associate athletic director, wide receivers coach, and interim offensive coordinator at Madison Ridgeland Academy. He has taken on the role of offensive coordinator for the beginning of the season and has been tasked with creating the identity of their offense which he built upon going extremely fast.
Through the first three games of the season, their “hammer down” tempo has produced 507 yards per game and 51 points per game.
We talk about the keys to establishing an uptempo offense, play-calling considerations to create a rhythm, practice methodology, and player workload. This episode is full of great tips to help you improve your tempo as we progress through the season.
