K.I.S.S. Football

By Robert Gavette

This book contains proven approaches, ideas, and schemes that come from attending many coaching clinics and from years of coaching experience. My intentions are to help you prepare your team in a positive and simplistic manner. In my book, you will complete a tried and proven system to attack and control the defense. These basic tools will help you prepare your players for success, regardless of your level of experience as a coach or that of your athletes as less experienced players. Numbers, letters, and code words are used throughout the book in order to facilitate communication between players and to their coaches. Always keep in mind that if you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

I will always cherish the fact that the athletes entrusted on us their physical, mental, and complete dedication with no conditions or limitations. Coaching young adolescents and young adults was a priceless experience. After thirty-seven years of coaching
