Increasing the Efficiency of Your Practice and Video Time

“Time stands still for no man.” I’m sure you’ve heard this quote before. If you are like us, you are constantly looking for ways to optimize your team’s practice and video time. Doing so will greatly improve your team’s chances for success. Our offensive philosophy at Northwest Missouri State University is to “Be Balanced.” • 2006 run to pass ratio: 55% to 45% • 2007 run to pass ratio: 52% to 48% • 2008 run to pass ratio: 50% to 50% (These ratios exclude sacks and we stop charting at the end of games when we have a lead.) We have adopted this philosophy for a few reasons: 1. It highlights all of our offensive personnel 2. It makes it difficult for other teams to prepare for us 3. It allows us to adapt each week to our upcoming opponent and to attack their specific weaknesses If we are going to play like this, we must be able to practice all facets of our offense
