OW\JE D EFE A T O UR SE LV E S

. B y Sidney J. Harr is

Watching the Nat ional Clay Cour ts tennis tournamen t recent ly , I sa~a player come vi th in one poin t of winn ing his ma tch . He los t the crucia lpoin t . and hi s ~pponent f ina l ly came fro~ far behind to vin the match .

~ ',~ . I '. ..

F rom . . ..e re 1 ~at , : it seemed clea r to me tha t the p layer . . .o" · los t h adr ea l ly b eate n hi msel f . Hi s game ·. . . .s a t l eas t a s good as his opponent ' s ih is ' s tr ok es . .. . re c lean • .h~s fqot .. . . rk agi l e . h i s s t ra tegy sens ib le . But i twas his own temperament tha t f ina l ly b roke ' h im . . .

"'1 . '. , ' .

When he los~ a 'poin t , he blamed himse l f . O n a close dec is ion , . he .

s co~ le d d ar kl y at the umpire . When the breaks vent aga ins t h im, h~ forgo~that h is oppon~nt had bad breaks , too. He . . . . s an unat t rac t ive personal i ty .

I t has been unwaver ing observat ion ove r ihe years tha t 90 percent ofus beat ourse lves . Nobody else does i t to us . W e b eat ourse lves in 'va riou svays - - b y too much conf idence , or b y too l i t t le ,by blaming the other : •'pe rson , or by blaming ou~selves ; by ' t oo much pess imism . . . . en th ings look Jood .

The one t ra i t in common that a l l~grea~ and cons is t en t 'w inne rs nave •is an absence of the "b lameworth '~ sense • . They do not pout when e ther s area t faul~" . and they do no; rage at themselves . . hen they .are a t f aul t .

Occas ional ly , they may be beaten , ' but they neve r- -oeat themse lves .And over the long pul l . they . . . . n ~ore of ten than they lose - - and theyvin , in many cases , by s imple a l l?wing the i r opponent s to beat themselves .

Why nature gives an equable t ;mperamen 'c ' t o some and not · t o others isa mys tery we can never solve • . But . I am convinced tha t it i s t em oe rame nt ,more than ta lent or bra ins . tha t de te rmines whe ther \oleare se l f - fu l f i l l ingor s el f -d e st roy in s. The. d i f~e r enc : e b e t . . .. en one champion and . .no. ther maybe t r i f l ing in terms of pure ab i l i tY i i t may be vas t · i n te rms of sp i r i t .

We hear a gr~at dea l about the so-ca l led "k i l le r : ins t i nc t" in champions ;and tha t the reason one man fa i led to reach the ul t ima te goal . . . . s h i sIack of th is k i l le r i~s t inc t .

Al l t h is means ' , I · th i rik ,i s tha t in the . u l tima te Crl.S~S the rea l

champion forgets h imsel f ent i re ly , and concent ra t es . . . . t h p as si on at eferoc i tv upon hi s objec t . The f ln ea r- ch am pi on " n ev er f or ge ts h im se lf ,neve r subdues himsel f to t h e ob jec t , never t ru ly subord ina t es himsel f tothe game.

I t i s not the ins t inc t to ki l l , or even to conque r , but the ins t inc tfor per fec t ion - 8 perfec t ion to exouis i te in i t s e l f t ha~ it obl i te ra tes •the man who is achiev ing i t . He is beyond pra ise , beyond blame, beyondal l our sub l iminary amibt ions . He does not beat h imse l f , for the doesn ' tf ight h imsel f , ra ther , he forgets h imsel f in an almost holy manner .

HILOSOPHY'

1. Stop the offense immediately; ~ Dictate to the offense &make them react to us. W epJay to set our offense upwith good field posltlon .. ,We.. want' to average 4.5 snapsper possession forthe season, 50% 'of those should be 3and out.

. .

2. Dominate the run - We always want to out number the

offense on the run wit.h the number of people we committo the run. We must never allow an offense to havebalance of Run & Pass in their attack.

3. Force the offense to throw the ball, when they do we •.want to put pressure on the QB. We do this with avariety of base blitzes arid by using bump and runtechniques in all our man coverage's. The QS should.

feel heat all day. ..

4. Take away the .offenses strengths by playingpercentages on formations, .down I distance, and bykeying on top personnel. Know &.understand youropponents' personality. - .' '.

5. Be great in critical situations (Le. third downs, red zone,

goalline), these areas are practiced everyday and .. emphasized routinely. On third-short we want to be 50%successful, and third-long 75% successful for the year.Everyone must rise up & be aware of critical situations &make the play ..

G ATO R DEFENSNE LJNE

U. Emphasis must be placed on the followng areas to be a great·defensive line.

A Discipline - Follow the instructions of your coach. Dis~ipHne keepsyou from acquiring bad habits that w!( hurt you and your team .

. B. Menta! Qiscigrine - No mental mistakes. One mental mistakeby one player can mean a touchdown, fielq goal J keep drivealive, give field position or time of possession to an .opponent. Mental mistakes usuarly result tram lack of

. concentration in meetings, not studying your handouts, orw~~n_you are fatigued. Know your assignments so you won'tbe confused and can read and be aggressiY~ .

.C~ Physical Discipline - Discipline yourself to push yourself throughthe whole practice. When people get tired, they don't conCentrate,they don't hustle, and they are not intense. There is a running edge.on defense when we out hustle the opponent. Most big games arewon or fast in the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter must belong tothedefenee. There is a state of mind of knowingthe dffferencebetween pain and injury. The great competitors know thedifference.

D. Consistency - You can't be a g~ e a £player if you are an up .and .down player from day to day or week to week. Discipline yourself·to be consistent every day. Work hard to improve and you.will bebetter than consistent. you will be consistently.better, You;play likeyou practice. Develop good habits. ..

E. Team Conceots - Pe·rsonal sacrifice insteadof personelglorification, what one can give not what one can receive.

III. Basic areas that must be worked on and improved each day_

A Stance - You want to get lnto a relaxed, comfortable stance that willenable you to uncoil for maximum explosion and quick movement.

3 Point Stance:

. Base - The feet are about shoulder width apart or slightly.wider, with heels out. One foot is staggered so you may

uncoil with power, hitting opponent hard enough to force him-- .. - .. t~ ......... h,..,rI"

Initial Move - Be ready to move off the man with peripheral vision ofball versus run, or move of f of ball with peripheral vision of manversus pass.

D.

1., : Our first-movement is to roll or steep of f front foot and bringup back foot in a short driving, step that will put' you in -a near

parallel stance, it is a 6 to a inch step.

2. We must read to movement or ball, not sound - no gifts, nomental errors on cadence. .

E~ Running - It is the most important fundamental in football. From itwe ge t m ov em en t, ba fa l'}_t;;eand quickness. FootbaU is a game ofmovement. You can improve it. Through it you can become abetter ·athlete.

2.

Run with good form in aUyour work even when you jog and

loosen up; Keep -yourthumbs up, use your arms to help you,drive and run on the inside balls. Work for good balance sothat you have complete control of your b,ody.

Run backwerdswith the same technique, be sure to keepyour shoulders over your feet. Be in a good fundamentalposition so that you can react and drive off either foot. Thiswill help your balance and quickness and body control.
