In this jam-packed episode of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash are joined by two incredible leaders in youth football: Coach Devonne Hinton (Parkview 8th Grade) and Coach John Lee (Kings Ridge 7th Grade). Episode 11 continues the Feeder Focus series, diving deep into the real challenges and real joys of building a successful feeder football program.

This episode hits hard on: 

•  Off-season prep – from 7-on-7s to lineman challenges to QB academies
•  Earning player and parent buy-in the right way (hint: it starts with care and communication)
• Culture setting with help from involved varsity head coaches like Adam Clack and Zach Slaney
• Fundamentals over flash – because blocking and tackling win games, not highlight reels
• Mentor systems to stay connected to players

From schemes and staffing to handling tough conversations with parents, this episode is a masterclass in leadership at the youth level.

In Episode 10 of The Field House Podcast, hosts Coach Tad and Coach Mash debut a brand new series: Feeder Focus—a deep dive into the world of youth football development.

This first installment is all about scheme—how to build it, teach it, and most importantly, keep it simple. Tad and Mash break down what "scheme" really means at the feeder level and why flexibility, simplicity, and execution are far more important than complexity or copying a varsity playbook.

Topics we cover:

• Why "simplicity is everything" when designing your offense or defense
• The importance of building a core set of base plays that players can master
• Why coaches need to adjust based on personnel (and not their favorite college team's playbook)
• How much a feeder system should mirror the high school varsity scheme

If you're coaching youth football, trying to get your squad game-ready, or just love nerding out on Xs and Os, this episode is a must-listen.

In this powerful episode of The Field House Podcast, Coach Tad and Coach Mash welcome Denton Carter, the North Fulton Area Director for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

Expect real talk on:

• The challenges today’s athletes face, including social media pressures
• How discipline fuels success for players, coaches, and even parents
• The power of simply showing up to inspire and lead
• Why faith and football go hand in hand

Denton’s infectious energy and unwavering commitment to young athletes make this episode a can’t-miss. If you're a coach, parent, or athlete looking for inspiration, press play and get ready to level up!

• The mindset of elite athletes – What separates the good from the GREAT when it comes to training
• Training philosophy – How Dustyn tailors programs for athletes of all levels and the role leadership plays in building winners on and off the field
