Developing An Offensive Game Plan:
BRIAN BILLICK  The purpose of this book is to provide a basic overview of the steps involved in setting up and implementing an offensive game plan.  Although the scope of variations facing a coach in high school, college, or professional football can be quite diverse, it is my experience that the basic fundamentals used in installing an offensive structure and game plan remain the same.  The primary focus of this book is to outline a very specific structure as to how to determine the size and scope of the offensive scheme you may be using, how to focus that package into a weekly game plan and practice format, and then finally, how to lay out that plan in as direct and simple a manner as possible for both coaches and players.

Coaching Cheerleading Successfully:
Foreword by Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer.   Coaching Cheerleading Successfully is the most comprehensive book on cheerleading that I have ever read.  Every aspect of cheerleading is covered; coaches in small school districts, rural communities, or large urban communities all will find something helpful to their area of the country.  Linda Rae Chappell supplies the tools for a cheerleading coach to create a great squad for whatever type of cheerleading is wanted, from competition squads to regular cheering, from cheerleaders who are ambassadors of school spirit and sportsmanship to those who are student leaders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Swinging Gate:
Bob Rexrode.   Successful on over 80% of attempts from the "Swinging Gate" on extra points and fake field goals during the past 8 years, Dusty Hutson's options off the "Gate" are thoroughly explained, with several clips of action footage shown of each options.  Coach Hutson also shows what makes each option work in relation to personnel, alignment, etc.  He even shows you what not to do when personnel dictates that you skip one of the options for a season until your personnel is right for it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 Point Conversion and Special Plays:
Bob Rexrode.   Having been successful on 18 of the last 19 attempts at 2 point conversions, coach Chris Howse discusses the fake extra point series he uses at Brewer High School in Alabama.  Coach Howse also describes a version of the Swinging Gate, followed by discussions of "Old Faithful", "Yellowstone", "Capital I", "Lonesome Polecat", the many options available with the "Arena Ball" series and also covers what his extra point team does to get 2 points when there is a bad snap or other mishap in the course of the normal extra point of field goal attempt.
