Yes, Special Teams is one-third of the game of football. If ST hasn\\u2019t won or lost you a game as a coach yet, it\\u2019s coming. There are times that Special Teams practices can feel chaotic, like no one knows what\\u2019s going on, and 1 coach (whomever had that ST Coordinator role thrown on them) is coaching 11 players, and the other Coaches are standing around watching the kicker.\\xa0

On this episode we\\u2019re talking to Coach Joel Mathews on ways to prevent the nightmare written above. We talk not only scheduling a special teams practice, but having it scripted ahead of time. Let everyone know where to be, who to coach, and what they\\u2019re responsible for.
