ABOUT

Joe Daniel Football is dedicated to helping High School and Youth Football Coaches develop your athletes and win more games. The Coaching Systems, podcasts, articles and videos you find here are all based on one core philosophy.

Coach Simple. Play Fast. Win.

What does that mean? Why is this philosophy so important to everything you do as a coach?

It’s, well… “simple”.

Coach SIMPLE. Build a System and use only the techniques, drills, play calls and strategies your team needs to win football games.

Keeping it simple helps coaches master how to teach those critical skills to players. Players are able to understand their role. How to do a job. They have CONFIDENCE to execute on the field.

Confident athletes PLAY FAST. They know what to do, and more important – they get it done without hesitation.

If you’ve felt frustrated because your players are ‘too soft’ or play ‘slow’, you know what athletes who lack confidence look like on the field.

Ever had players who could knew exactly what to do in practice, but just couldn’t execute on Game Day? They were lacking confidence.

Your players DO have desire. Toughness. Athleticism. They lack confidence. Every single team benefits from increasing the confidence of your players in how to execute their job on the field. 

Your job as a Coach is to maximize player talents. To build confidence.

When players play FAST, they play more aggressive. That’s all being ‘aggressive’ really is. Football players do not need to be tough, mean or violent to be great. They only need confidence.

Faster players WIN more football games. No need to explain this one. We all know it’s true. If your athletes get faster on the game field, you’re winning more games.

That’s it. The Coach Simple, Play Fast, Win philosophy at Joe Daniel Football.

Who is Joe Daniel?

I have 17 years of foootball coaching experience at the High School and College level. In 2009 I started blogging about football at my first website, Football-Defense.com. Over the last decade we’ve grown to include offense and rebranded as Joe Daniel Football in 2015.

Most recently, I was the Head Football Coach for Amelia County High School in Virginia for the 2018 season. For two years prior, I was the Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach. As Head Coach, I also continued in both of those roles. I’m more well known as a ‘defense guy’, but Offensive Line is a true passion. Our teams featured a high-powered offense including a 10-2 squad in 2018 that averaged 42 ppg in the Pistol Power Offense System.

Before moving to Amelia, I coached for 12 seasons at Prince George High School in Virginia, including 6 years as Defensive Coordinator. I took a break from High School coaching in 2009 to join the staff at Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls as the Linebackers Coach.

Joe Daniel Football became my full time job in 2012. I taught High School history and math for 9 years before prior to that.

I attended college at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA after growing up in Marietta, GA and graduating from Pope High School.

Coach Daniel in Media
