Coaching High School Football: The Power Running Game

with Eric Reis,
Manteca (CA) High School Head Coach,
2006 Coach of the Year;
and Neil MacDannald, Manteca HS (CA) Offensive Coordinator

Coach MacDannald begins this lecture-style presentation by talking about the Manteca HS offensive philosophy, which includes minimizing turnovers and staying in constant "attack mode." He then covers basic power running game formations that can be used against different defensive sets. Coach MacDannald also reveals variations on the power game including G-Power, T-Power, Power Bounce, G-Counter and F-Counter. He details play calls and explains what each word of the play call means for specific players on the offense. After setting up the power run game using detailed diagrams, MacDannald presents actual game footage to show it all in action. See the "ins and outs" of a power run game that is simplified for high school teams.
