Coaches like to talk about empowering your players. But when is the right time? What should they have power over?

In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we're looking at how much pull your kids should have in the decisions we make.

Can they decide when practice starts? When it ends?

Should you let your players pick team captains?

Do players get to decide where they're going to play?

How much input should your players have in play calling decisions?

Do the players have any input in playing time?

Can your kids help you decide what to do in the weight room?

How much should you listen to your players regarding injuries?

And do your players get to have a say in the design of your playbook?
