Mechanics

A helpful side note (to me anyways) when doing one-man.
Learned this in my HS class last year, my first, when I would be doing all freshman games.
Amidst my pregame yak I would also say.....
"....Guys, Im flying solo here, Ill be hustling for ya out there, but, as you know, that means one man calls"....
Pause after that statement, give em each a quick look in the eye to see that they understood, and move on with your pregame. Dont make it the main point of your pregame, but emphasizing it does help.
Did 32 games last season, and I believe by uttering that one little sentence, contributed somewhat to not having any major problems with the coaches when they came out on me. Had the usual discussions about plays, etc, but I knew that was in the back of their mind when they were in discussion with me.
