Training Days

Just got done watching the ESPN behind the scenes special Training Days:Oklahoma Football on YouTube.  It airs tomorrow (Aug. 23) on ESPN in its entirety. 

A couple things that stood out:

- The attention to detail by the coaches which filtered down to the players

- Competing on every single play

- Great Quote "Invest in the Process"

- The intensity and the tone is set from Day 1

- The Pride and Tradition

- How much I love college football.

To expand a little bit on the attention to detail, football probably does it better than anyone (the good programs at least).  Football coaches are very detail oriented and they don't let one miscue slide by.  Football is able to get 11 guys to consistently be on the same page, both offensively and defensively.  Why can it be so hard in basketball at times. 

Below are the different segments of the show.  Great stuff from Coach Stoops and his staff.  Worth the time to sit and watch.  Coaches from all sports can learn from specials like this.  I hope ESPN continues to do this in years to come.
