Scott Leech joins the podcast to talk about contact prep, small-sided games, football strength and conditioning, and why training has to actually transfer to the field.
We start by squashing the old snapdown beef, then dive into where Scott’s ideas came from and why traditional football S&C can miss the mark when everything is built for the whiteboard instead of the field.
Scott breaks down how contact prep started for him, why linemen need more than tempo runs and weight room numbers, and how moving another human is its own skill. We also cover his controlled, combative, and competitive progression for contact prep, how he programs rolling, crawling, wrestling, short-sided games, and how to expose athletes to contact without just throwing them into chaos.
This episode gets into the real coaching questions: how to program contact prep, how to split drills between bigs, mids, and skill players, how to use coach’s eye as a KPI, how to build better decision makers, and how to create football practices that give athletes more realistic reps.
We also talk about after-action reviews, why coaches should ask if drills actually show up on game day, and how to tie field work, contact prep, small-sided games, speed days, and the weight room together with a high-low model.
