Coach,
1 just wanted to say thanks for ordering a Special Forces Package. I hope this
information will help your team improve this year and win some extra games. 1 am
confident that it will! I have done two things with the scouting sheets that ] have sent.
First, I have provided a blank sheet to copy and use (it is on the CD). Secondly, I include
a completed scout form much like I use during the season. It might give you an idea on
how to use them...as you know, there is no right/wrong way to fill them out, but it might
give you some direction, In addition, | inchude a 2-point convert chart for your use. 1 also
put five good drills that 1 use on the CD. Lastly, the six sheets that follow are what I feel
are the KEYS to quality special teams. They should help give direction on how you may
‘want to implement this package.
Everything in this package is also on the CD, however, to make changes on
diagrams you wil} need the Core} Draw Program (that is the program | used to make
them). Ail of the Text Documents can be changed using Microsoft Word... It is usually
on most computers.
There is a lot of great information in this package that has proven success on the
football field. I hope everything is to your satisfaction, ] can assure you I have spent
literally hundreds of hours getting my Special Forces Playbook ready. but during the
Footbal season all of that time pays off. 1 hope you get the same results. With your hard
work, enthusiasm and focus on Special Teams ] am certain that your team wil] reap the
rewards on game day! Thanks again and keep me in touch on how your team is doing
this year!
