I get a lot of emails asking about the Install Schedule. There's more to it than that. 

While most of my eCourses give an in-depth look at the install schedule for the scheme, there's a key. Those courses include why you install each piece.

That is why I'm not real excited to email you a spreadsheet of our install schedule. It changes every year. 

So check out episode 120 of The Football Coaching Podcast to see the 4 questions you need to ask when setting up your install schedule. 

I look at this specifically from the standpoint of Spring Practice, because it is April here as I record the podcast. But you should apply the same logic in the Fall as well.

One last note. I just moved into a new office with it's own little studio. I recorded this without thinking - I knew there'd be an echo, just not how bad it would be.

I'll hang up some blankets and put a couple books on the shelf before the next episode. But I thought this episode was too good from a content standpoint to just throw out (they're never as good the second time).

Question & Answer
