I am happy to announce that in addition to my new book, Read and Shoot: Coaching a Multiple Read Passing Game in the Spread Offense (found HERE), I have begun to release the first of a series of courses designed tap into newer developments in the passing game.   These courses can be found on CoachTube, and the first one is entitled Creating Half-Field Passing Concepts (which can be found HERE).  

In it, using over an hour and a half of white board and video analysis, I cover some new pass pattern structures that are applicable to any system.  Coaching points, from protection to pattern philosophy and assembly, are discussed.   As mentioned previously, new classes are already developed and will be released soon; the next one will be entitled Expanding the Vertical Passing Game.  Many defensive trends have led to the 4 Verticals package losing effectiveness; this course will look at updated strategies in pushing the ball down the field.  

As always, I can be contacted via social media (@Dan_Gonzalez16) with any questions.

The process is now over, and my newest book is available HERE.

Here are what some people are saying about it:

​Dan has always been among my favorite authors on offensive football, and this latest work is a good example of why. It is a remarkably timely work that will help any coach build a more well-rounded offense with principles that are thoughtfully explained and thoroughly relevant to the issues in today’s football. For me, this is the kind of resource that will broaden my understanding of what’s possible, equip me to provide better answers for my players, while at the same time helping me sharpen my skills as a communicator. Highly recommend!

I first found out about Dan in 2009 when I read his first book, "Concept Passing: Teaching the Modern Passing Game."  Since then, I have gone back to use it as a reference many times.  It is a must read for all football coaches.  I have even required some of my entry level coaches to read it!  He has taken it to another level with his new book.  His ability to put a system in place to process information and put it in a teachable format is incredible.  After reading the book, you will look at the way you teach and format your system in a whole new way.  It's not what we know, it's what we can teach.  Dan is an expert at this!

I am happy to announce that in the coming days, my new book "Read and Shoot: Coaching a Multiple Read Passing Game in the Spread Offense" will be available.  Formatting and editing are complete, with some housekeeping issues to be completed before "Go Live."

This one is less centered on the system I have used; rather, it is more pointed towards concepts and theory that go into the passing game.   A few years ago, I set out on an iBook series; the third became "lost in space" as the platform used was not Apple - I had the very good intention of making it available on every kind of device.  The company, however, encountered problems, and that also ceased work on the 4th iBook I was to do.  Here, in a more stable format, I am able to communicate the building blocks of a system that has won state championships, produced immediate results for my consulting clients, and was proven to be executable by teams as raw as youth level. 

Read and Shoot covers ground the 4th iBook would have, but also entails much more.  Again, it is focused on ideas that will aid any coach because the principles are discussed:

- Principles of the spread and of the pro-style passing game
- How to build a system
- A method for teaching
- Developing a Read System
- Setting up Installation plans
- Developing the players and the system - I even talk of how the QB Manual is structured and elements
- Game Planning 

In order to get the diagrams to speak to the reader, each of the approximately 200 diagrams are in color; further, a TERM GLOSSARY is made available.   The goal is to spark ideas and critical thinking in the development of one's passing game.
