Using the “Why” to Create High-Level Execution – Mike Peck, Offensive Coordinator, Burley High School (ID‪)‬ Coach and Coordinator Podcast

    • Sports

We reached out to today’s guest after we confirmed some eye-popping stats from his 2022 season. 62 touchdowns, 3,204 passing yards, and 1,805 rushing yards, in sum producing an average of 500.9 yards per game and 48 points per game. All at the high school level with 12-minute quarters and a running clock after a 30-point differential.
Those numbers screamed “high-level execution”, and we wanted to dig into the what, how, and why behind it.
Meet Mike Peck, offensive coordinator at Burley High School in Burley, ID.

Show Notes:

Spread the field and attack horizontally and vertically

Based out of 10 personnel and empty, but highlight personnel year-to-year

Hang your hat on runs and passes for the base offense

The players understanding of why

Install as a year-round activity leading up to the season

Front loading for better learning

The quarterback should be out on the field teaching it with you 

Tools used to teach in the classroom

Quizzes and competition

Seven-day install format

Practice format

Situational periods in practice

Unscripted situations so play callers get work
