Book Description

A cohesive, communicating and close-knit team develops in the off-season not during the pre-season or in-season. It is too late by then. During Head Football Coach Bill Renner's 30-year high school coaching career, he was able to change three losing high school football programs into disciplined, winning state playoff teams. The change started with a detailed, structured off-season training program that did not just include the typical off-season training protocol of weight lifting, agilities, running, speed and plyometric training. It included core 4 football specific drills, Gut Check Friday workouts, a plan for recruiting the school for players, and GRIT training that taught players to have passion, perseverance, and self-discipline. Each of these areas is detailed in this book, How to Plan and Implement a Positive Culture in a High School Football Off-Season Training Program. Coach Renner tells you what he did to change the mindset of the players, and, how he trained them to become better football players in the off-season, not just to become bigger, faster, and stronger. Coach Renner gives you the off-season goals that drove player and program improvement. He details the training structure that he used to physically and mentally train the players. This structure includes his training calendar, weight lifting cycle program, agility training, speed and plyometric training, the core 4 football position specific drills and how he incorporated GRIT training in each. He details how he taught players to be position leaders with leadership responsibilities. He describes how he used off-season film review meetings, awards, and lifting clubs to teach passion, perseverance and self-discipline, the GRIT traits. In this book you will learn how Coach Renner built his team's physical stature, mental toughness, and team culture in the off-season so that it carried over to team and player success during the season. This book shows you how to create a positive team culture and improve the football ability of a team in the off-season.




Building a Winning Culture in High School Sports... and Beyond


Book Description

What makes a sports team successful? What is a winning team culture in sport?How do you build team culture in sport? What does a winning environment look like?How do the sports team core values and life lessons of a winning environment influence young athletes?Think back through your life and sports you played? Whether it be football, wrestling, lacrosse, basketball, or hockey, what was your culture like? What values and lessons did your coach teach you? How did your coach and team culture while participating in youth sports impact your life? Have you ever wondered why some high school sports teams, with no recruiting, and oftentimes smaller athlete pools, are so successful year after year? Why do some teams win state titles or consistently finish at the top of their division or state year after year? What is it that these programs are doing that allows this success to carry through graduating class after graduating class? To get a better understanding, I figured I should start with the coach. I reached out to the winning-est local coaches talked at length on how they built their winning culture and what they do to maintain it. Right away, it was easy to see, with their grateful mindsets, humility, and inspiring presence, why these coaches were so successful. I then reached out to coaches from all around the country. From Texas football coaches and Minnesota hockey coaches to Pennsylvania and Iowa Wrestling coaches to California Volleyball coaches, they all enthusiastically agreed to participate, and share their knowledge, culture building strategies and inspiring stories. With over 500 state titles, 30 national championships, and a continued formula for success in shaping the young men and women of tomorrow, these coaches and their programs exemplify a winning environment. Along with the inspirational stories to be told about each school's culture, we found commonalities across this broad spectrum of successful sports programs. We compared these commonalities to successful business, military, SWAT, and other organizational models that participated. We found that the lessons we learn and attitude/culture we develop playing youth and high school sports transcends the athletic field and serves as a cultural foundation for which many successful organizations are built upon.Over 150 hours of interviews including:*Coach Gary Joseph of 7X Texas Football State Champion Katy High School*Coach George Quarles from 15X State Champion Marryville High School Football*Coach Mike Messere of 15X New York Lacrosse State Champion West Genesee*Coach Bob Shriver of Current National Champion Boys Latin Lacrosse*Coach Greg Urbas of 11 X National Champion/29 X Ohio State Wrestling Champion St Edwards High School*Coach Jeff Jordan of 17X Ohio State and current national champion St Paris Graham Wrestling*Coach Russ Cozart of 34 consecutive years/452 match win streak/ 16 straight state title Brandon High School Wrestling*4X National Coach of the Year Miller Bugliari of 20 X New Jersey State Champion Pingry School Soccer*Coach Jeff Brameier of 10X Connecticut Lacrosse State Champion Darien Lacrosse*Coach Trent Eigner of National Champion/Minnesota State Champion Lakeville North Boys Hockey*Coach Bill Hansen from 17X state champion/6X national champion Catholic Memorial Hockey*Coach Bret Almazan-Cezar of Volleyball National Champion/ 11 time California State champion Archbishop Mitty*Coach Hal Wasson of 8X Texas Football State Champion Southlake Carroll High School*Tom Landry Award Winner Coach Larry Hill of 3X Texas State Finalist Smithson Valley Football*A Retired U.S. Military Colonel*A former Marine who worked for mother Theresa, taught high school students, and climbed Mt Everest*A 3 time cancer survivor*Two Multi-Billion dollar company executives and other business and organizational leadersand more.Pick up your copy today and start a tradition of excellence

How to Teach High School Football Players to Be Mentally Disciplined


Book Description

Mental discipline is a trainable trait. Coaches do not have to rely on players to either have mental discipline or not. But, there is a mental discipline training process to follow to teach the players. In this book, How to Train High School Football Players to be Mentally Disciplined, Coach Bill Renner, describes the process of mental discipline training for high school football players. This process includes the procedures for on-the-field, off-the-field, player conduct, and football program procedures. There are many areas a high school football coach must set a behavior expectation for the players. Often those areas are overlooked, or, the behavior expectation is not established prior to it being violated by the players. With 23-years of successful head high school football coaching experience at four high schools, Coach Renner has created a comprehensive list of the areas a head football must set behavior expectations for his players. A sampling of those include on-the-field situations such as stretching and agilities, injury procedures, sideline conduct, practice attire, game attire, scoring a touchdown, practice accountability, and post-game player handshake line. Off-the-field areas include care of the locker room, care of their equipment, attendance at freshman or JV games, away game trips, classroom behavior and academic checks. Player conduct areas include player's language, promptness, attitude, social media, in-season socializing, and homecoming week activities. Football program procedures include program traditions like touching a sign, national anthem conduct, victory song, pre-game meals, captain selection, team picture, and banquet attire. Coach Renner gives you his team's expectations for each of these areas and more. He also details the mental discipline training he instituted to correct inappropriate behavior for each area. Those discipline training reminders were different for in-season, off-season, or, classroom/school violations. If you would like to develop a strong football culture you need to have behavior expectations for all the areas the players will be in. This book will give you a comprehensive outline of how to accomplish creating a strong football culture by training high school football players to be mentally disciplined.

How to Build a Thick Institution


Book Description

In the fall of 2017, Oxford High School Head Football Coach, Chris Cutcliffe, & University of Mississippi Professor, Dr. Hunter Taylor, began meeting weekly to collaborate on ways to make Cutcliffe's football program better. Using improvement science methods, they developed plans that sought to better foster a family culture, develop future leaders, and maximize the program's on-field potential. After two years of working together, the 2019 football team captured the 6A state championship and was named the #1 team in the state by Max Preps. This leadership book is a reflection on their work of redesigning the Oxford football program, and the title comes from the duo's headlining TED talk that was given in the spring of 2021 at the University of Mississippi's Ford Center.
