More About Coach Chris

My 10+ years coaching experience is working with players ages 8-18. I've coached at the Pop Warner level and currently at the high school level. I currently serve as the Bellingham High School Quarterbacks and Defensive Backs coach. Also part of the Elite Football Academy coaching staff where I also coach the Quarterbacks and Defensive Backs

3-Year Starter at Bellingham High School at Quarterback and Defensive back from 2005-2007 Season. Named Captain Junior and Senior Year. Offensive MVP of the Tri-Valley League 2007. Metro-West Daily News All-star. 3-year starter at Curry College at Defensive back 2009-2011. Named Captain Senior Year. NEFC All-Conference team 2010. Division 3 North vs South Senior Bowl Starter.

Quarterback Specific Plan

Warm up - Loosing up to make sure no injury will occur
- Dynamic Stretch
- Arm Stretch

Foot-work drills
- 3 step drops - ensuring all the weight is equally distributed through the body for a quick release. Making sure separation from the line of scrimmage is 3+ yards to avoid deflection/depth from lineman
- 5-step - Ensuring the hitch step on a 5 step drop is made and eyes are down field at all times. Depth, separation, and footwork are a major factor in this drill

Teaching Arm Angles + Fixing release points

Mental work
- Understanding Coverage
- Training eyes to focus downfield ; "Feel" the rush
- Becoming a team leader and taking control of the huddle

Defensive Back Specific Plan

Dynamic Stretch
- Loosening up the hips/lower body to prevent injury

Proper Stance and Technique

Quick footwork drills
- Ladder work/ Cone Drills
- Ensuring no false steps when transitioning forward
- Shoulders and head stay low on break + back pedal

Teaching Receiver Tendencies/ Mental Work
- Shoulders rise up on WR breaks
- Focusing eyes on the hips
- Defensive back concepts

Breaking on routes
- Breaking up pass routes
- Proper contact

I will also be incorporating the new "Hudl" technique into my sessions (If Coachup doesn't have a slow motion camera) so I'm able to show my client a visual on all the mistakes they're making. This way they can work on everything at home.

Client Reviews

I have had the privilege of coaching with Chris Haddad over the past year and just recently at a summer football camp. This camp had 150 athletes in attendance from 25 different towns and 3 different states. As the Hiring Director for this camp, I can tell you Chris was an easy selection based on both his knowledge of the game of football and his positive attitude he displayed as a coach. Chris worked closely with our Quarterbacks and Defensive Backs all week and our athletes latched themselves on to Chris' teachings. I would watch them when he spoke and the knowledge he was passing along really stuck with them and it was great to see our athletes apply Chris' teachings to their game. I believe Chris has all the tools necessary to be an outstanding coach in any organization / program and I look forward to the next time I step foot on the same field as him!
