On this episode of Art of Practice presented by GoRout, host Keith Grabowski sits down with Shane Hurd, former assistant coach at Binghamton High School and an account executive at GoRout. As part of the Coach and Coordinator Network, this episode breaks down actionable methods for running faster, cleaner, and more purposeful football practices that maximize every second on the field.
Coach Hurd draws on 26 years of coaching experience to explain how programs with small staffs and limited field space can eliminate standing around and nearly double their rep volume. The conversation explores how GoRout serves as a high-efficiency teaching tool during Monday installs. It lets position coaches focus on technique rather than holding cards. From creative ways to maximize development time during special teams periods to coaching on the run and scripting purposeful individual drills, this interview delivers a practical blueprint for building game-like practice tempo.
