The traditional offseason checklist has been decimated, so coaches are getting creative.
Minnesota football coach P.J. Fleck and members of the university's athletics department began laying out potential road maps last month for how to manage the seemingly inevitable spread of the coronavirus, with"plans for the plans," Fleck said,One question dominated the conversations: How can we prepare for this?
An upended offseason has forced coaches and athletes to improvise. Face-to-face meetings are out; FaceTime is in. Squat racks have been replaced by weighted backpacks. The lack of in-person contact has turned individual recruiting into the equivalent of a long-distance relationship. Across the board, programs are combining technological know-how with low-tech workout regimens to replicate the normal routine of spring football and remain as prepared as possible during the sport’s absence.
Those larger meetings can set the week's agenda. Smaller meetings, whether delineated by offense and defense or based on a specific position, take on a deeper purpose for new coaching staffs or first-year coordinators, who must find a way in this setting to field and answer questions as teams access playbooks online via password-protected websites.
