Double Wing & I Wing - Guaranteed Ways to Improve Your Running Backs

Many coaches assume running back is a position you either recruit or live with. Clovis East head coach Tim Murphy argues the opposite, and this session is his case for it: a detailed look at how to make backs better no matter how athletic they are. His teams built a reputation for running hard and protecting the football, and twice they went six straight games without a fumble. Here he shows the coaching that produced it.

What you'll learn

• How to teach backs to break tackles and finish runs through contact
• Reading blockers and pressing the right surface instead of guessing
• Seeing plays develop so the back hits the hole on time
• Agility work that translates to real carries rather than cone times
• Carrying out fakes to sell misdirection and hold second-level defenders
• Ball-security habits that cut fumbles out of your offense
• Why running back development is coachable at any talent level

Who it's for

Youth and high school running backs coaches, offensive coordinators and head coaches who have to win with the backs already on the roster. The teaching applies in any run scheme, not just the Double Wing.
