Let's Get In Formation

FORMATIONS

I thought film days were tough but these formation days are quite rough. It’s a lot to take in. Coach Woodson went through different formations today. He then proceeded to quiz me as we went on the different formations to make sure I was retaining the information. Today we went over offensive formations. It’s easier to look over the formations in a still picture or a drawn up diagram. Looking at them on the fly as the players are moving was a little difficult for me. I got it over as went through the formations but it’s just something I’ll have to study as I go. Coach Woodson believes that with the football background I have already I’ll catch on way quicker than I think. He’s very positive and encouraging when I get a somewhat stressed looking over certain things.

FILM

While we watched the film we made sure you focus on the formations. Coach Woodson also brought up the personnels as well. I mentioned we have several weeks to go, can we stay on formations this week. Haha! So we looked over basic things with this film along with the formations. He quizzed me on the positions of the players and the purpose of that position. I was able to name many of the positions but a couple positions I wasn’t sure of the purpose of that position. So we decided to make sure each film session we go over positions. 

I really like how everything seems to flow together as we go along and we plan our weeks accordingly.
