Opening my first playbook was a very exciting and scary experience. It's an overwelming feeling know that I was being trusted with the so called "Bible" of our team. I started flipping through the pages looking at personnel, stances, alignments, terminology, routes, audibles, and cadences. I made the statement, "Where should I start?" and my LB coach told me to start at the Table of Contents.
From what I learned so far it's so much easier to start from the beginning than in the middle or the end. Sometimes I go about my day working backwards instead of working forwards. I'm the type that tries to predict the future, only to stress about it later on in the day or week. I love coaching football, I love waking up in the morning preparing and expecting to win on game day. I love the strategy that's involved and the high I get before, during and after games.
There is no way I can coach my team, be successful, and have the players' trust if I, as a coach, coach them at the end. You can have the end in mind but you have to start at the beginning.
