About this video
Willie Fritz calls his special teams The Few, The Proud, The Special Forces, and this coaching video is his complete approach to organizing the kicking game. Part 1 of his five-part series covers special teams goals, how to select personnel for each phase, complete practice scheduling for all six phases, scripting special teams play and the fundamentals, techniques and drills that improve performance.
