Join Coach Keith Patterson, head football coach at Abilene Christian University, as he shares nearly four decades of coaching wisdom on building winning programs and teaching modern defense. Drawing from 15 years as a Texas high school coach and a career that spans FBS and FCS football, Coach Patterson emphasizes the core principles of character, discipline, and toughness as the foundation for success on and off the field.
This course takes you inside his philosophy of developing men of integrity, building a culture that lasts, and teaching defense in a way that is simple, adaptable, and fun for players. You’ll learn how the 3-3-5 defensive system creates flexibility against today’s explosive offenses, how to simplify teaching so players can play fast, and how to measure what really matters—effort, explosive plays, takeaways, and discipline.
Packed with stories, strategies, and practical insights, this course is designed to inspire and equip coaches at every level to make a lasting impact on their players and their programs.
