Maximizing Special Teams Practice - Bill Brest, Special Teams Coordinator, Grove City
Description
In this episode of The Season Bill Brest, Special Teams Coordinator at Grove City College, explores innovative strategies for special teams practice and planning. Coach Brest emphasizes dedicating 20% of practice time to special teams, despite only 13-17% of game snaps being special team plays. He shares a unique approach where offensive and defensive coaches work on special teams drills simultaneously on opposite sides of the field, effectively doubling practice time. He also discusses player engagement, ensuring every player gets reps and is filmed, and outlines his game week preparation, including film study, game plan creation, and practice organization using platforms like Hudl.
