To most of us, the idea of throwing on our glad rags and going out for a meal at a local restaurant isn't usually something we would think twice about.

For Graeme Sharp however, it's a whole different ball game. (if you'll excuse the pun)
Over the years, Sharp, a man who is no stranger to the Wembley turf and who is the proud owner of a cabinet that is overflowing with trophies, has become used to being recognised by fans and even a relaxing dinner out with the family can turn into a sportsman's dinner before he's even tucked into his shepherd's pie.

Considered one of Everton's greatest legends, it is not surprising Graeme Sharp might get mobbed by fans wherever he goes. After a career that has spanned almost thirty years, the 47 year old who now lives in North Wales, says that football as a media production has most definitely become much more high profile since his hey day, piling more pressure on the young footballers of today.
"Nowadays footballers are not much like they used to be," says Sharp. "Now they just seem on par with film stars, the level of celebrity they receive is extraordinary. Times have certainly changed since my day - for instance 20 years ago, there weren't camera phones available to take pictures of players at every opportunity and there wasn't so much paparazzi attention focused on us."
He remembers: "The public certainly didn't care about our personal lives. Back in our time, it was all about what happened on the football pitch on Saturday afternoon and that was it."

And Sharp did spend a lot of time on the football pitch. Born in Glasgow in 1960, he started his career at Dumbarton before playing 11 years at Goodison Park. He later moved to Oldham where he spent six years with the perennial overachievers, including a stint as the team's manager.
As a young boy growing up, Sharp admits that he simply "just wanted to play football."
"It was all about a desire to play as well as you possibly could and it was the fact that you wanted to be the best that drove you on further and further." His inclusion in Everton's best ever eleven pays a testament to his hard work and achievements at Goodison park.
These days however, Sharp believes that money and fame are taking more and more of a precedence in the world of football than just a simple love of the game. He says that although there are still some players who are following their dreams and have a genuine passion for the game, money is becoming a bigger issue within the sport:

"It's getting to be very important to football I think. It's in the Premier League and everyone is trying to strive for that. I'm not saying that players today are just after money because the majority do have an immense passion for football and I think it annoys them when it's made out that they are in it for how rich they can get.

He adds: "All I'm saying is that in my day, fame and fortune was something you didn't really take on board but players today are subjected to it in such a huge way."

Though the media focus on Sharp at the height of his career was intense, it wasn't exactly on the scale of David Beckham. There were no advertising deals or sunglasses to endorse. His job was to play football. He kept his private life to himself and the only time he was seen was on the pitch every weekend. Nevertheless, Sharp admits he is glad that fame was a different concept in his day and says that it can be unfortunate for young players today to even go out to buy toilet paper for fear of encountering the paparazzi.

"They have to be more careful where they go these days," he says. "It can be quite intimidating when crowds of people come up to you wanting an autograph when you've just popped out for a paper. But the majority of football fans are usually civil, it's quite rare to meet the antagonistic ones."

Back in his home village of Northop Hall in Flintshire, Sharp is renowned for his friendly attitude towards fans who ask for a few minutes of his time, and he is happy to chat to them. And though he is no longer playing on the pitch, he keeps himself busy with his current weekly radio show on Century 105's 'Legends' football phone-in alongside various other sporting greats. His down to earth and amicable nature is not what you would expect of a typical 'famous celebrity'. Sharp clearly does not court fame, nor does he shun the attention that his legendary past brings.
"I was just very fortunate to get paid for something I absolutely loved doing," he laughs. "If anyone manages to do that then they've done alright!"

This past weekend we had the pleasure of speaking at the Baltimore Glazier Clinic.

Not only were there at least 20 youth football coaches there that are running my system, I got to sit in on some excellent presentations myself. There were even two brave souls from North Carolina that had driven about 6 hours to get there. No wonder these gusy team had gone 9-1 last season, they were two focused guys.

Worst to First Story

Scott Burton from Richmond University really impressed me and I'm going to share a couple of very simple things he talked about that you can do to help develop your offensive linemen. Scott just started at Richmond this season. The past 10 years he has been the Head Football Coach at Highland Springs High School in Virginia, a very down, low on numbers inner-city team. Before he got there the program had fallen on hard times, the team was 1-19 the two previous seasons before Scott got there. Under Scott they made the playoffs 7 of 10 years and were even District Champs twice. He finished 72-26 at a place most thought no one could win at. He is the kind of guy I like listening to, he's had success, he knows how to get the job done and did it from virtual scratch. My kind of football coach, a real up and comer, he is one of those young on fire, no excuses types I would love my kids to play for.

His first order of business as a head coach of this 1700 student school at age 25 was to get the kids to believe in his processes and system. He suffered a lot of initial resistance both from players, parents and imbedded coaches. The way he sold it to them is that while he was only 25 he had been successful with his previous team, and he was very confident he had a "recipe" for success, those were his exact words. He said "I told the players all cakes need oil, flour and eggs, but if you put 18 eggs into the cake rather than 2 that the recipe calls for, the cake probably isn't going to turn out very well. If you follow me I'm going to give you a recipe that if you decide to follow it, is going to make a very good cake". Scott got the kids to believe in him because he was consistent, had a vision, a concrete plan and they trusted him.

Offensive Line Tips For Those Coaching Youth Football

He also had a real tough time with his offensive linemen, he didn't have any, no one wanted to play offensive line on this team. Scott was a defensive back in college, but became the offensive line coach out of necessity and made the offensive line something very special at Highland Springs. He did things like: all the lineman drank water first during breaks, the offensive linemen were written up in the newspaper each week, no individual pictures in the newspaper all team shots and the linemen got to do special drills that no one else got to run. For conditioning for the offensive linemen he did 40 yard fumble "scoop and score" drills, where the lineman were allowed to spike the ball as they entered the endzone. He had special t-shirts made for his offensive linemen and gave them an acronym ACT, he would not share with us what ACT meant. His linemen were also not allowed to tell ANYONE what it meant. It was like the offensive linemen were in some type of exclusive fraternity or something. The more exclusive they became, the more kids wanted to be an offensive linemen and the better they played.

Haven't We Heard This Before?

For you that have my book, doesn't that sound familiar, and aren't all of those specific points in the book, minus the scoop and score drill, which we will add next year? I was amening the heck out of him like he was some type of on fire Evangelist and I was in church. I was nodding so much during this presentation, I think I hurt my neck.

Scott didn't talk about a single scheme, playbook or even any football plays, he talked about developing trust and having fun with his football team. It was his opinion that this had much more to do with the turnaround than did his schemes or football plays.
