The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel – Details, episodes & analysis

Resiliency is one of the hardest things to train in High School football. In a world where technology continues to make every day life easier and easier, we have to make kids understand that being uncomfortable and straining won't end them.

In this episode Coaches Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss preparing your players for adversity through practice planning to cover the hard things, preparing them for things that could happen on Friday nights, and getting rid of the "Here we go again" mentality.

Cover 3 may be the best HS coverage possible. Cover 1 probably holds the crown as the best overall coverage, if you have the cats to run it. Cover 3 just answers all the questions, while being simple to understand, run, and problem solve with.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are covering the fundamentals of Cover 3, simplifying your coverage package, solving all the weaknesses, and making Cover 3 look complicated.

Depth wins championships. It doesn't matter how talented your starters are — if you've got no one ready to step in when it counts, you're in trouble. Backups matter. Depth matters. And if you're not preparing those guys now, you'll pay for it later.

On this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel talk about how to build depth on your roster, get your backups game-ready, and keep your team competitive no matter the numbers. You'll hear why the Coach Simple philosophy is the fastest way to boost confidence and performance, how to train your scout team to become tomorrow's starters, and how to adapt your drills when roster sizes are smaller than you'd like.

Communication tends to be most Football Coaches' weak spots. In an Alpha dominated world, we just think everyone else around us has our knowledge base or assume they know what needs to be done. Unfortunately, in most cases, our assumptions are wrong.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss what a plan of communication, or a Standard Operating Procedure, is as well as why you need to prepare yours now and how you can implement it with you staff this year.

Another season has come and gone. Unless you're holding the trophy at the end (and maybe even if you're holding the trophy), there's at least one thing you need to fix or update in your system. No system is perfect, and some are just bad.

On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss why you shouldn't throw your system out, how to evaluate it to make some corrections, and what changes you can make without a wholesale change.

Every season we learn lessons as coaches. What are we good at, what are we bad at, what do we need to expand or contract in our playbook and system. This year was no different.

On this episode Joe and Daniel are going through YOUR lessons learned from YOUR season.

Toxicity happens in every profession. It happens on Wall Street, it happens in the military, and it happens in sports.

Generally, it's magnified in positions when the rules or positions put a toxic person "in charge" of others. This is especially an issue when that group is made up of kids that can't take a stand against the toxicity.

On this episode, Joe and Daniel discuss what a Toxic Coach looks like, why you need to deal with them now rather than later, and just how you can go about letting a coach go.

As the off season begins for many across the country, it's time to focus on what you need to improve for next year. Without a doubt, many of you have strength and speed on your improvement list. But, it's not just THAT you hit the weight room. It's HOW you hit the weight room that matters.

On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the importance of using the weight room, why you need to have a program to follow, and what that program should consist of.

As voted on by the loyal listeners, we bring you a peek into our lives as parents.

The Pro Style Offense is an ever evolving system. Originally named after the actual schemes being used in the NFL, it has taken an identity of its own as a balanced offense capable of being used as a Smash Mouth running offense, or an air-it-out passing attack.

On this episode Joe and Daniel are discussing how to take your High School version of this scheme and incorporate a Star Wide Receiver. We discuss what he might look like, what his role is in the Pro Style Offense, and what you can do to highlight him in your gameplan.
