I frequently mention mastering situational football.

I’ve been getting quite a few messages asking the same thing:

“Okay, but how do you actually find time for all of this?”

These situations are critical. But how do you find time balancing the running game, passing game, screen game, special team etc.

There has to be a better way to build it in without watering down everything else.

Here’s exactly how we do it.

The Core Principle: Protect Your Core, Build Around It

Most of our practice is focused on the 20 to 20. That is where most of your time is going to spent

So we protect Tuesday for our core and build situations into the back half of the week. Wednesday is our dedicated situational day. Thursday is where all of it gets tested under pressure.

Two days. Structured intentionally. That’s where situational mastery gets built.

Here’s what that looks like day by day.
