Coaches - This Friday, don't save your FG fake!

I gave a talk to the Minnesota Football Coaches Association a couple of years ago that I included a short video segment on fake field goal plays that was a hit. The message is simple, if you have a great play, DON'T SAVE IT!*

Why?

• You might turn 3 points into 6 (or a 1 pt. conversion into 2)!

• You get it on film now...

• Your next three opponents will see that fake and will prep for it.

• Prepping for it means lost practice time preparing for your "real" playbook.

• Other opponents will be on-guard and less likely to go "all out" for the block...

• Which gives more time for your kicking unit to get the FG/PAT off.

*Remember, to pull off fake FG's, you actually have to show that you can kick FGs.

— Want to learn how to do that with purpose? Check out my talk on the K-ZONE, found in the CLASSROOM.

Ideally, Coach, have a couple up your sleeve. Prep for the first game on a "throw-away", but if the moment is even close to right, USE IT! Not sure how to create a new fake FG?

DM me.

I've only got about 3 dozen to offer you!
