About this video
Everything an offensive lineman does well starts with feet, hands and leverage. Chad Gehring, the offensive line coach at Evangel University, lays out the fundamentals of offensive line play in a step-by-step teaching progression, giving high school and college coaches the drills and coaching points to build technique from the stance up rather than hoping it shows up on Friday night.
What you'll learn
- The three weapons of an offensive lineman and how to develop each one
- Stance fundamentals and the coaching points that fix a bad one
- Hand development drills, including med ball and hand shield work
- Feet development drills built around the board drill
- Leverage points for an offensive lineman and how to teach them
- Run blocking drills and skills that carry into team periods
- A step-by-step teaching progression you can run with any group
Who it's for
Offensive line coaches at the high school and college levels, and any head coach who has to teach line play without a dedicated position coach. The progression works with beginners and with experienced linemen who need their fundamentals cleaned up.

Frequently asked questions
What does this first session cover?
The fundamentals of offensive line play - the three weapons of a lineman, stance, hand development drills with med balls and hand shields, feet development through board drills, leverage points and run blocking skills.
What level is it aimed at?
It was taught by a college line coach but the progression is built for any level; high school and youth coaches can install the same stance, hand and footwork drills without special equipment beyond a board and a shield.
