The season is under way. And everything may not be going exactly as planned.

You're a problem solver. A fixer. When something isn't working... you do something about it.

But here in the world of football coaching, we tend to do too much. To over react.

The best thing you can do, often times, is to stay the course. Constant change means your kids will never get good at anything.

They can lose confidence in themselves as players. In the technique you teach. And in you as a coach.

That's never what we want. We want our kids to believe that they can do it. All they need to do, is do their jobs.

You spent a whole off season putting this playbook together. Researching drills. Studying the talent you had coming along...

And when you did that, your mind was clear. You were sane.

Now it's football season. You're amped up. Sleep deprived. Maybe a little panicked.

Can we all agree that clear headed you is a little more sane, a little smarter, than amped up, sleep deprived, panicked you? I thought so.

So stay the course. Keep with the plan. Focus on fixing the problems, not changing the plan entirely.
