Deonte Gibson, Steven Ciocci, and Jeremy Hawkins share their thoughts on the transition from camp into the season. They dig into the things that are most important to them as they make final decisions on the schemes and personnel that give them the best opportunity to win in week one.
Listen On:
As camp wraps up, everything has been installed, and it’s now about refining the schemes and techniques, as well as focusing on the details.
Coaches cover so many things in camp. While we might feel that we have not given enough attention to everything, remember that your opponents are in the same situation. What’s important is staying focused on improving your players’ fundamentals within the schemes you have installed. The cumulative effect of reps will start to take hold as you progress through the early part of the season, and you will start to see your players hitting a rhythm as you roll into mid-season.
