The Indianapolis Glazier Clinic was a medium sized clinic with a small but enthusiastic contingent of youth football coaches. It was great to see guys from all the way from Cincinnati there that ran my system last year for the first time.

They want the ball in that guys hands, so why do I want to give the other team exactly what they want?
Deep Kicks
What hasn’t looked so good for us has been our deep kickoff co
