More Youth Football Coaching Horror Stories

I’ve gotten a few e-mails recently from frustrated youth football coaches that are struggling in poorly run organizations with inept coaches. Some of these dads just moved into new communities and were shocked to learned they landed in the youth football coaches version of the “Twilight Zone”.

The Arena Football League – Why it is Better Today!

The AFL is an amazing opportunity for all. Players, fans, coaches, owners, broadcasters and publishers. The original “Ironman” concept is gone forever; it went away when the NFL meddler’s had their way with the rule changes and used the AFL to bury NFL Europe.

Using the universal laws of attraction, the standard methodology includes luring unsuspecting folks to listen to seductive language and in the end, cause some really poor decisions. As college football heads into the annual period of depression known as winter, some programs will be …

Out of Town Tournaments For Youth Football Teams

Out of town youth football tournaments are an excellent end of season treat for many youth football teams. Pop Warner, AYF and other organizations have regional and national title programs that are the goal of many youth football coaches in those leagues. When I played youth football, our team traveled to Las Vegas, Kansas City, Nashville and Atlanta to play in tournaments. It was a great way to see how we stacked up to competition outside Nebraska.
