Clinic Series: 4 Laws of Learning & Fab 5 of LB Play – William Inge, Co-DC, Washington

Today’s episode is from Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic with Wiliam Inge, Co-Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach from the National Runner-Up Washington Huskies.

As the game of football continues to evolve, so too must the coaching methods and techniques used to develop players, particularly in positions like linebackers. A transition from the old school to the new school requires a deep understanding of coaching transformation. Coaches must adapt to the changing mindset, training methods, and external influences on players, which are numerous at every level of the game. Embracing technology, including social media, Hudl, YouTube, and email, is crucial for capturing the attention of prospective players and ensuring effective communication and training methods.

While Coach Inge goes into how to train today’s linebacker, the ideas he shares apply to coaching any position.
