John Weaver

One of the toughtest parts of coaching the wide reciver position is dividing time in practice to teach them how to run routes, catch balls in traffic, proper releases, getting stacked, and how to properly block. Most of the time one of those gets neglected in practice. However, if your offense is based heavily upon perimeter runs, and screens they better know how to properly block in space. We have found that this step by step blocking progression has helped us elevate our perimeter and down field blocking.

Coach Weaver is the wide receiver coach for the Madison-Richland Academy in Jackson, Mississippi. Like many of you reading this, he is an assistant coach who has his group but is not the head coach who has the authority to create team core values, a mission statement, or an intentional culture.

But... John's head coach, Herbert Davis, told him to be the 'head coach' of his position group. John takes it to the 'Nth degree' and makes them feel like they are in an exclusive club! His receivers are members of the 'ARB'; 'Air Raid Brigade'!  "When John started the ARB, a few of our coaches honestly 'rolled their eyes' a little.  John didn't care one bit.  He stayed the course and has created a monster of our receiver group.  Now, every member of our staff sees the value and has gotten on board", Coach Davis.

What does being a member of the 'ARB' entail? It means being in an exclusive club with rights, privileges, and responsibilities.

We have receivers from 2018, 19, 20 and 21 teams all gather at a players' house. We had dinner and swapped 'ARB' stories for a few hours. It was like a reunion of a fraternity", Coach Weaver said. 

If you tried to gather your position group like this, would it be a reunion of players who feel like they are in an exclusive club?
Coach Weaver laid out his systematic approach to creating a 'membership mentality' all of his receivers at MRA have, and it is outstanding.

Catching drills are a dime a dozen in football. What we have done is taken all of the routes we run and what type of catch we had to make over the course of the year and taylored our catching drills to mimic what type of catch we made in the game. 

The common releases vs. press man involves a WR using their speed off of the line of scrimmage to blow by the defensive back. Often times the WR has to create some type of move/footfire to iniate a particular move. This is a video course on our relases and techniques.
