The Use of Technology for a More Efficient and Effective Self-Scout – AJ Antonescu, Offensive Line Coach, Lake Travis High School (TX)


Listen Later

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.
