In this part of the lecture, Coach Brad Dixon recounts his initial engagement with Coach Holler’s innovative ideas, sparked by an article from the Track Football Consortium in July 2017. The article critiqued the stagnant nature of high school football practices, inspiring Dixon to explore new methods. Intrigued by Holler’s insights, Dixon began formulating his own ideas in 2018, creating a document that laid the groundwork for integrating sprint-based football principles into his coaching approach. Despite initial uncertainties and the lack of established models or clinics, Dixon persisted in refining his concepts with feedback from his coaching staff and sought validation from Coach Holler himself. This pivotal interaction marked the beginning of a transformative journey towards redefining football training methodologies, driven by Dixon’s commitment to adapt and innovate within his coaching environment.
