Here are a few takeaways from their 30-minute sessions and the roundtable discussion that followed:
Organize in Buckets
🔥 Zachary Blum (Middletown HS, DE – 3A State Champs)
“The system IS your program. If your core concepts aren’t repping across formations, you’re wasting time.”
We want to run the same 5–6 plays out of every look — not so we’re predictable, but so we’re confident.”

Simple Philosophy
🔥 Cody Giampa (Bay Path RVTHS, MA – Large Vocational Champs)
“Teaching philosophy starts with language. If 10 coaches say it 10 different ways, players tune out.”
“Offensive identity isn’t what we call — it’s what we emphasize. That’s what shows up on Friday night.”

Motion/Shifts
🔥 AJ Woolley (Vandegrift HS, TX – 6A-II State Champs)
“Pre-snap movement isn’t window dressing — it’s how we communicate intent and manipulate matchups.”
]
“If motion doesn't impact the defense, we scrap it. Everything has to create stress or it’s wasted space.”

🔥 Roundtable Highlights
“You don’t need 50 plays — you need a small menu that’s executed perfectly and adapts through formations.”
“What you drill every day IS your identity. Players don’t repeat what you say — they repeat what you teach.”
