A Tad Overweight, But Violet Eyes to Die for by G B Trudeau

Football clearly is not basketball or baseball or any other sport. However, the changes we are seeing in football have more to do with the use of space and the ability to adjust plays. This concept is seen easily through the game of basketball as it is a fluid game that requires adjustments each time up and down the court. Many football programs are embracing this concept in their own programs. The goal of this book is to cause you to think of why you are teaching skills and drills to your players, and to cause you to know the why of your scheme and how it must be able to adjust. This book is geared for football coaches. While it uses concepts from Basketball to prove some points.Coach Kenny Simpson has scored another touchdown with his book. Outstanding read that will help any coach grow and improve. Great wisdom and insight in relating football coaching to basketball. - Tim Horton, Running back coach Vanderbilt UniversityThis is a dynamite read Coach Simpson has taken a unique look at coaching football by learning from another sport: basketball. As I read this book, I was really inspired to think more deliberately about football teaching methods. I enjoyed his take on As football coaches we do XYZ, but basketball coaches do ABC. He then goes on to explain those differences, while at the same time making football coaches critique their own practice why's and how's. I think this is tremendous offseason reading as coaches evaluate themselves and their practices. - Chris Fore, Eight Laces Consulting, California Coaches Association PresidentCoach Simpson is a class act. He is always connecting and trying to help coaches. Coach takes a fresh approach with this new book and it's a slam dunk.- Shea Monroe, Alabama Spread and Defense ClinicCoach Simpson has done it again This book challenges football coaches to become more dynamic in their approach to teaching the game. Coaching concepts over plays will allow coaches and players to have a deeper understanding of their playbook and how it can be used in every situation. - Brent Morrison, Head Football Coach at Westerville Central High School, OhioCoach Simpson's book should be on every young coach's reading list regardless of scheme or style. It's a valuable resource to any football coach in today's game. - Kevin Swift, AD/Former Head Football Coach Gold Beach High School, Oregon
