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!
