At Mercer County, we have an indoor complex with turf, which is great for these workouts. Instead of workouts twice a week for one hour each week, we now have the workouts for two hours, one time a week. All of our guys are getting their strength training in weightclass or Mondays & Thursdays.
This is my first season at Mercer and I have been very pleased with how our kids and coaches have responded to the workouts. This past Wednesday, we had 59 kids at our workout. This includes everyone except our basketball guys.
Here is the schedule we are currently using:
3:30 Stretch/Warm up
3:35-3:55 Split groups for 10 minute sessions. One is speed training. The other is change of direction.
3:55 Offensive Skill work
4:25 Water
4:27 Defensive Skill work
4:57 Water
5:00 Rugby or Heads Up Tackling
5:10 Competition
5:20 Finisher
5:25 Stretch
These workouts will continue through February. In early March we will give our guys a break, then bring them back in mid-March for spring football practice. We do this to get our guys back to spring sports ASAP and so that if we get some guys banged up, they have time to heal before June camps & combines, as well as the season.
We have also tried to use Hudl video, our playbook online, etc. to complement what we do in our workouts so that we can maximize learning.
We think this preparation will help our guys make the most of spring practice. These Perfection Workouts are a big piece of the puzzle for us when it comes to Player Development. Player Development is a major component of what we want to accomplish as a program.
