Session plans will be dynamic and primarily based upon the abilities and goals of the athletes. While there are foundational habits I believe lead to becoming a successful college player and wide receiver, each athlete will be crafted a plan for success on an individual basis.

However, I do believe in several core improvement areas:

CATCHING-
A huge factor that separates high school and college wide receivers is the ability to catch the football. Some tend to believe this is inherited or genetic, it is not. Hand eye coordination can be practiced and will be an immediate determining factor for this athlete in this position seeing playing time on the field.

STANCE/START/ROUTE MASTERY
Dialing in these aspects of route running is a must when it comes to timing and space in an offense at the collegiate level. Working to improve these aspects as early as possible will provide a massive competitive advantage over those who neglect to work their game in this area.

CONDITIONING
This may vary the most athlete to athlete depending on their current program. However, the more in shape you are, the more valuable you become. Plain and simple.

My role in college was to learn every position on offense as a utility style player. The more understanding and ability to be thrown in at slot, H, X,Y, Z, etc. the quicker you will find yourself on the field. The more you know, the more valuable you are. Plain and simple again. We will dive into each positions responsibilities and break down route combinations in order to understand how an efficient offense utilizes its athletes, and how to position oneself to make an impact as quickly as possible.
