#TrackWeek
. Here are examples of 2 Track drills we do/game clips where it shows up.
Clip 1: Are his eyes on you? No = GO! Yes = Shimmy/gain ground. Watch the Safety & Mike
Clip 2: Track thru the mess. Distractions will be there. Watch the Mike
Whelp. One urgent care appointment, hospital visit, and surgery later and I'm finally back home. Can't thank my family, friends and the team enough for the support in the hospital and at home. Looking forward to the fight to get back fully healthy. LOVE YOU GUYS โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ
I normally like to internalize, process and have candid conversations with those close to me. However, I feel the need to get some things off my chest. Take it as you will. These thoughts are my own, and I stand by them.
๐จTACKLE DRILL ALERT๐จ
Drill Name: Drive Regain
Focus: Finish
Coaching Points: Reshape/Regrip, Dominate to the Deck
Don't always coach the perfect tackle. Tackling is messy. It's good to put players in poor positions (like on knees) and force the FIGHT TO FINISH. It shows up!
What a day ๐๐ป The little guy FINALLY got to meet his Great Nana and Poppy, and for the first time ever these four generations of Giancola men were all together. Not sure I can effectively express my joy at the moment ๐๐๐
๐จLOOT DRILL ALERT๐จ
Drill Name: Crowded Fumble
Focus: Turnover
Coaching Points: Secure ball, Squeeze it, Knees to chest, STAY OFF YOUR BACK!
Bags simulate other bodies, Coach works to rip/secure ball as the opponent.
Recovering a fumble is usually MESSY. Practice it that way
๐จTACKLE DRILL ALERT๐จ
Drill Name: Angle Regrip
Focus: Finish
Coaching Points: Reshape/Regrip, Dominate to the Deck, Finish ON TOP
Grabbed cloth, but not in good position? Fight to eliminate dead space. Don't drag him down and go boneless. REGRIP to get in a dominant position
Seeing this today only reaffirmed what I already knew to be true... HOW SPECIAL THIS COMMUNITY IS. My heart couldn't be more full. I love this place & I love these people. The support has been unbelievable from both near & far. RIP JJ & John โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ

Tough to realize we would've kicked the season off this weekend. If 2020 has taught me anything...find the silver lining in difficult situations. Adversity is opportunity disguised. More family time & prep for the season... 2021, we're coming ya!!!

โDrills on Instagram donโt make you a better football player.โ ๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฃ
Here are some things that do though:
- The Weight Room
- Playing other sports
- Working with YOUR TEAM
- Sprinting. Stopping. Sprinting again
- Eating the right way
- Realistically self critiquing/evaluating
โGo run routes. We are football players. Thatโs what we do.โ
