Henry Stanford - Mental Training for the Quarterback in the Shotgun Spread Offense

Mental Training for the Quarterback in the Shotgun Spread Offense, with Coach Henry Stanford, looks at what coaches can do off the field to enhance the ability of the quarterback to be successful on the field.

 

Initially, Coach Stanford explores the importance of video study and chalk talks as integral aspects of a quarterback's mental training during the preseason.

 

This segment addresses a number of factors, including front recognition, coverage identification, blitz evaluation, and understanding the offensive package.

 

The next step is in-season mental training, which encompasses defining what is most important to the offense, providing an understanding of weekly development, enabling the quarterback to set goals for his daily progress, and instilling a sense of confidence in the quarterback.

 

Coach Stanford then details the mental training measures that are undertaken during game week.

 

Finally, Coach Stanford discusses the mental training for the quarterback that occurs during the post-season.

 

Among the topics covered:

• Pre-season mental training
