On this episode of Your Call presented by The Headset App, host Keith Grabowski is joined by Keith Riggs, Former HC at Jenks HS (OK), to discuss his coaching philosophy and approach to athlete development. Riggs emphasizes the importance of having a “big toolbox” of strategies on both offense and defense, and how selecting the right tool at the right moment can influence the outcome of a game. He explains how simplifying complex concepts and presenting them in a relatable way helps athletes better understand the game and perform at a higher level. From zone blitz strategies to building core concepts athletes can consistently apply, Riggs illustrates how intentional teaching can maximize player potential and drive team success. This conversation highlights the balance between strategy, teaching, and athlete development, offering coaches practical insights for building smarter, more adaptable teams.
