2010 Clinic Notes: Lectures by Premier High School Coaches

The Coach of the Year Clinics were initiated by renowned football coaches Duffy Daugherty and Bud Wilkinson in the 1950s. These football clinics—widely considered the best coaching clinics in the country—have grown so popular that the number of individual Coach of the Year Clinics has increased to 20 annually. This manual provides a “coach-friendly” collection of some of the best lectures selected from the 2010 series of the Coach of the Year Clinics.
