My First Book

I am excited to be close to done with my first book. A few final touches and a final edit will seal the deal.

“The Melting Pot: How to Acclimate Old NFL Concepts into Your High School or College Offense” is a thorough analysis of the Mike Martz Offense, with an interesting twist. Each play that is diagrammed will have a modified version (or multiple versions) of the play, which will make them more effective at the lower levels of football. The book will also provide Martz’s terminology, and the reads for the quarterback for each play.

The Greatest Show on Turf has many unique characteristics that a lot of coaches haven’t had the chance to study. With many coaches spending their time studying the modern spread offenses, many of these old concepts get thrown to the wayside. With an entire chapter dedicated to the “H Post” concept and its many variations, the book focuses on these rarely used plays. Plays that are prevalent throughout the modern game have also been included. A chapter on the flood concept breaks down a concept used by everybody, including variations and constraints.

Taking a modern approach to the design of each play can give coaches a few new wrinkles to add into their existing offense. At the very least, this book will give coaches food for thought on something fresh to their minds. I am excited about the content, and to get the book in your hands!
