About this video
An up-tempo offense lives or dies on preparation, and this is the session where Coach Shawn Liotta shows the week behind Clairton's 958 points over a 16-game season. He lays out an eight-step game-planning process and then walks the calendar from Saturday through Friday, naming what has to be finished each day: film review priorities, opponent personnel study, honest self-scouting, how the scouting report is presented to players, and how the plan gets installed at practice tempo. The last stretch is the call sheet itself and what to do when the plan meets a defense that will not cooperate.
