Presented by Lauren’s First and Goal Foundation
Host: Coach Keith Grabowski | Coach and Coordinator Network

Episode Summary

In this episode of Game Planning Tips, presented by Lauren’s First and Goal Foundation, Coach Keith Grabowski breaks down how elite coaches prepare every phase of the game — offense, defense, and special teams — with precision and purpose.

Learn how to script your openers, build a reactive offense, design a pressure plan that fits your personnel, and teach special teams with mission-driven clarity. These are proven concepts that help you structure your week, anticipate opponent tendencies, and make smarter in-game decisions.

What You’ll Learn

1. Offensive Game Planning – Openers & Firsts
Keith Grabowski explains how scripting your first 10–15 plays gives your offense rhythm and valuable information. Learn how to design openers that expose defensive reactions and pre-plan your “firsts” for situations like first after a big gain, first-and-five, or red zone entry.

2. Defensive Game Planning – Creating a Pressure Plan
Oregon linebackers coach Brian Michalowski shares how to structure your pressure package using self-scouting, personnel analysis, and sequencing. Discover how “same-as” teaching and planned risk management create a fast, confident defense.

3. Special Teams Game Planning – Mission, Momentum & Teaching
Ben Kotwica, Special Teams Coach for the Los Angeles Rams, discusses how defining a clear mission for each phase drives execution and effort. He also shares how tools like GoArmy Edge help coaches teach faster, visualize rush schemes, and reduce the need for scout teams.

Key Takeaways

Script with purpose — gather defensive information, not just call plays.

Design pressures with self-awareness — know your personnel and your risks.

Coach special teams with clarity and innovation — every phase needs a mission.
