Coach Gonzalez shares the 2023 Installation Videos he created for a 6^th grade consulting client.  This client wanted to learn the spread passing game, while maintaining flexibility in player positions, yet being constrained by the limitations of physical development.  Practice time and exposure to verbiage was limited, so a streamlined install was used that had:

• No vertical reads (due to age/physical limitations of players)
• Wrist cards and tags were the means of communication
• A limited number of 1-word play calls were also utilized

The installs cover not only teaching points in the run and pass games, but include some updated teaching video and concepts.  The pieces, though basic, combine to form a robust, multi-dimensional offense that allowed for growth as the season progresses.  For example, the basics of the zone read and RPOs are there, should expansion go in that direction.

The entire series, covering 6 Installation Practices, contains 40 video segments and over 7 hours of teaching video.

Coach Gonzalez shares this season’s edition of his READ AND SHOOT installation teaching videos, which had only previously been made available to his consulting clients.   He gives the explanation of not only each play concept and coaching point, but how each piece fits into the rest of the puzzle and how the teaching principles will allow for carry over between concepts.  

This year, there is a ton of new pass combinations, derived from study of defensive trends and responses from the last couple years.  Further, Coach Gonzalez offers the terminology in two different language versions that he has created.

Dan goes beyond simply listing pass concepts vs. certain coverages -- he sets up the principles that will allow your offense to attack whatever defense is encountered.

- Creating "Hit Lists"

- Game Plan Study: Formation Cores

- RPO's

- Tempo Packages

A comprehensive look into one of the most sought-after questions in offensive football - "How do I make sure the defense can't take away a special player?"  From start to finish, Coach Gonzalez covers everything from playbook setup to game planning, to calling a game.  

Coach Gonzalez takes a deep dive into the process for assembling a passing system that can hold up year in and year out and adjust according to personnel.  The key to being able to execute is to be able to have just a few structures (7) and even fewer actual reads (3).  Dan covers everything you need to build a passing toolbox from terminology to philosophy to the foundations that all complete systems must have.

Coach Gonzalez takes a deep dive into an approach to throwing the football and game planning his Third Down attack.  Time-tested staples as well as new ideas are covered with whiteboard, practice, and game video.  He even shares some portions of his quarterback manual in the presentation.

Coach Gonzalez goes over how he has learned to assemble the various pieces of the offense that are brought into each game.  From there, 

This course offers an overview of: 

1. Seam Read/Benders

• Place in the Offense
• Route Traits
• Film Analysis

2. A.C.T.S Pure Progression Reads

3. Corners/Verticals Film Study

4. Examples of Motion Used to Dislodge the Defense

At the core of the READ AND SHOOT attack is the reading system, known as A.C.T.S (Advantage-Concept-Third Fix-Scramble).  This reading system unlocks the potential of any imaginable pass pattern, and gives developing players the ability to execute an amount of offense on par with college and professional football.  Despite varied personnel, offensive structures, or philosophies, ACTS  creates a standard, well-defined process for the passer to attack pass defenses. 

In this course, Coach Gonzalez gives almost two and a half hours of detailed instruction, from general coaching points to specific details on not only how the pure progression system works, but how the Advantage Principles further propel the offense’s assault on the defense as well.  Each progression and advantage principle segment features whiteboard and video review.

As defenses become more wel-versed in adressing the wave of spread offenses, one key piece of the puzzle lies in the ability of the offense to deploy an EMPTY passing attack. Here, Coach Gonzalez takes a deep dive into the Principles, Attacking Defenses and Defenders, Answers to Pressure, and much more!  

Coach Gonzalez gave an webinar for bundle subsctibers and it is now available to you as well.  He gives the template for the installation process, and describes an in-depth presentation on play concepts, reads, and teaching in a practice-by-practices sequence.  

Moreover, he uses generic football terms so that concepts can be applied to any offense.  

This course continues where Course 5 left off - going further in depth in multiple aspects related to protection of the quarterback.  Chapters include Tempo/ Schematic Adjustments, Half Field Components (to speed the QB's read), Installtion/ Practice/ RPOs, and Game Planning.

Too often, protection is seen as the responsibility of the offensive line, or of the line and quarterback.  Here, it is revealed that protecting the passer is not only a shared responsibility of all position groups, but it is a key focus of the coaching staff as well.  Every facet of the offensive plan, from protection principles to route design to formationing, should have the idea of protection as a key consideration.   In Section 1 of this series, we will examine protection schemes, protection adjustment calls, formationing, constructing pass patterns, and auxiliary patterns -- all from the standpoint of protecting the passer.  

Picking up where Section 1 leaves off, Coach Gonzalez adds 3 advanced combinations that relate to the Corner Structiure

The corner toute is something we consider the best of all routes vs. man coverage.  Here, we show specific measures that allow this pass to be high-percentage as well as explosive.  

In the second passing game course by the author of the new book "Read and Shoot: Coaching a Multiple Read Passing Game in the Spread Offense," Coach Gonzalez discusses the evolving challenge that offensive coaches are confronted with in manufacturing explosive pass plays while still remaining high-percentage in efficiency.  The "4 Vertical" pass pattern is not what it used to be, as defenses are simply not going to line up an play vanilla zone coverages against spread formations; here, exciting alternatives are given that will help give the edge back to the offense.

The ability to give "packaged sides" is a critical component in supplementing a progression-read passing game.  Here, Coach Gonzalez covers philosophy, protections, and both whiteboard and video examination that will allow your team to successfully create half-field pass patterns for your passing attack.
