I want to thank you all for attending today's seminar. By being here you have taken the first step on a journey, a wonderful journey of self-discovery and growth that can only been gained by spending $59.99 and sitting in a hotel ball room. Through sweat and tears we are going to come to terms with our problems and we will grow together. Through our step by step guide you too can overcome your football teams crisis of identity and become the blossoming program you always hoped you would be.
Introduction
In football, where brotherhood, passion, and brute force converge, an identity crisis can be as perplexing to the mind as it is disheartening to the soul. This crisis could have the ability to burrow itself, like a tick into the neck, at the very essence of a team's performance and re-shape its destiny on the field. In this brutal world of sport is where we shall embark on a transformational journey of self discovery to not only understand the concept of identity but to also learn how to navigate and overcome an identity crisis that plagues many a program.
Discovering Identity in Football
To understand the magnitude of an identity crisis, we must first peel back the layers (like that of a delicate onion) of what identity means in the context of college football. A team's identity is the personification and the unique expression of team's characters and values both on and off on the field. It embodies a team's style of play and the strategies that grow from it, and the core values that set it apart from its contemporaries and adversaries. This identity is a complex, vexxing, and frustrating blend of tradition, strength, and Swartzeldian philosophy that mold a team over a long period time. When this identity falters and fails to take shape a team enters a state of crisis of self. This results in inconsistent performances and unforseen challenges. In such trying times a team's destiny hangs in the balance caught between the deafening echoes of its past and the vicissitudes of the fate of its future.
A Self-Discovery Quiz for Football Teams: Do You Have an Identity Crisis?
Before we embark on this beautiful and fullfilling journey (and after we have received your first payment of $59.99, all major credit cards accepted) to overcome an identity crisis, it is vital to conduct a self-discovery quiz to determine if the team is indeed grappling with such a crippling crisis. This quiz is designed to assess the team's current status and help you gauge the extent of the identity crisis:
Inconsistencies in Performance: Are you noticing fluctuations in your team's performance and surprising results that seem to deviate from the well-defined standards you've set in place?
Departure from Tradition: Have you observed your team embracing a new approach, leaving behind the tried-and-true foundations that once characterized its style of play?
Philosophical Confusion: Are you detecting a pervasive sense of bewilderment or ambiguity surrounding your team's playing philosophy and strategies, resulting in a disconcerting state of disarray on the field?
Unexpected Defeats: Have you crossed paths with unanticipated defeats or setbacks that seem to challenge the very fabric of your team's storied performance history?
Lack of Cohesion: Have you observed a distinct lack of cohesion and unity among your team members, creating a palpable sense of fragmentation in your collective effort?
Challenges and Injuries: Are injuries and unforeseen challenges casting a shadow over your team's performance, making it feel vulnerable and uncertain in its endeavors?
Adaptability to Modern Football: Does your team struggle to adapt to the evolving demands and trends of modern football, indicating a deviation from its established identity?
If these questions are met with an affirmative in your team's dojo it is evident that your football team is navigating the transformative path of an identity crisis. And now my dear seeker of the inner message the moment has arrived for you and your team to embark upon a profoundly transformative odyssey, transcending limitations of rediscovery through the guidance of self worth.

Step 3: Assess Offensive Line Performance in an Non Offensive Way Because "Offensive" can be a Hurtful Word #peaceandlove
We're going to strip down to the nitty-gritty in our skivvies and pinpoint those areas where the line is coming up short. Be real.
