Coach and Coordinator Podcast

This week’s Clinic Series episode of Coach and Coordinator Podcast features Nate Milne, the head coach of Muhlenberg College. He was a speaker at the D3 Top 25 Clinic this past winter, sharing his valuable insights and experiences.

He underscores the practicality of scoring on opening drives, citing their team's impressive success rate in recent seasons and the broader implications of scoring early in both halves. The speaker also delves into various practical aspects of their coaching strategy, such as ball security, scoring after defensive turnovers, and balancing running and passing plays. He stresses the importance of adapting their approach based on the situation and ensuring their team is well-prepared for different scenarios, including varying tempos and personnel packages.
