From a young age, Psaroudakis showed an innate talent for football. Growing up in Heraklion, he spent countless hours playing football in local parks and streets with friends and family. His natural ability was evident even in these informal settings, and his enthusiasm for the game was infectious. By the age of five, Psaroudakis had joined a local youth football club, where his skills began to flourish. His father’s role as his first coach during these formative years was crucial, as he emphasized not only technical skills but also the importance of discipline and teamwork.
The transition from playing in local parks to joining a structured football environment marked a significant step in Psaroudakis’ journey. At the age of ten, he joined the youth academy of OFI Crete, one of Greece’s most esteemed football clubs. This move marked the beginning of a more rigorous and professional approach to his training. The academy environment was demanding, focusing on honing technical abilities and instilling values of sportsmanship and dedication. Psaroudakis’ dedication to his craft was evident as he quickly rose through the ranks, becoming a standout player in the youth teams.
The support of Psaroudakis’ family was unwavering during this critical period. His father continued to be a source of guidance and mentorship, while his mother ensured that he had everything he needed to succeed. Their collective efforts created a balanced environment where Psaroudakis could focus entirely on his development as a footballer. This familial support was not just about providing the basics; it was about creating an environment where Psaroudakis felt encouraged and motivated to pursue his dreams relentlessly.
As Psaroudakis transitioned from the youth academy to professional football, the challenges became more significant.

Coaching Philosophy
I believe very strongly that winning does not “just happen.” It is not a
coincidence that the same teams and the same coaches to win every
year. These “winning” programs are successful because they have a
comprehensive 365-day-a-year plan they believe in. You must have a
consistent plan to make your program consistent. Consistency =
Winning.
I Believe in one must spend a tremendous amount of time on the
fundamentals of football. A team will improve every day by working
diligently on blocking and tackling. You must attempt to cover every
possible situation that may arise in a game and instruct the players on
how to react. There are not many secrets to the game; you have to
build a football team that is fundamentally sound and a team that is in
excellent physical condition.
The ultimate key to success is to develop a team that possesses great
confidence in everything it does. This is gained through hundreds of
reps and a commitment by the coaches and players. The end result is a
team that goes on the field every week with the attitude that it is going
to win; that it expects to win. A confident team will find a way to win.
It never gives up. This is the attitude that one must strive for.
"If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is
not very exciting."

Offensive Line Philosophy
We are the most important position on the field. We are the wheels of
the car. No matter how big the engine is, it is not moving without the
wheels. Without a great offensive line no matter what offensive is run
it will not be effective. Too many people believe the offensive line is a
passive position. I do not believe this to be true! We will be the most
“controlled” aggressive position on the field. The offensive line is to be
feared by defensive front. We play to the whistle. We “block forever”
and “finish all blocks!” We must keep a great base underneath us on
our opponent to ensure that we keep face by not giving any soft body
part to the defender. WE ARE THE AGGRESSOR!
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweet.”

Prototypical Offensive Lineman
An offensive lineman needs to be an athlete that can run and move both for line of scrimmage contact and open field
contact. They must have a great concept of teamwork due to the fact that the offensive line is the only position on the
field that must work together to achieve a common goal. i.e. one offensive lineman cannot do his own thing on the field
and still have a successful play. Togetherness is important. The offensive line is a unit that must have cohesiveness to
become a great entity. With that comes trust. Each offensive lineman must trust the guy next to him to do his job to
create a successful play or to know that he can lean on him for help during a play especially during pass protection. An
offensive lineman must realize his role in the offensive and know that he will not be the glory man, but will produce the
glory man.
Great Feet
An offensive lineman must have a great base underneath him
His “FEET” are the most important aspect of his body everything starts from there.
He does not ever cross the midline of his body or click his heels

Must be able to get into a proper stance
Be a “knee bender” not a “waist bender”
Be able to invert back to produce proper angle on pass protection
Be able to create the “Z” in the knees and ankle for power producing angles
Strength
An offensive lineman must be able to with-stain and finish blocks
Explosion is key in creating successful blocks
Strength is the key to with-staining blocks
Intelligence
An offensive lineman needs to be one of the most intelligent players on the field
The ability to make protection calls and play recognition is a must
Needs to be able to know what the guys next to him does to have an understanding of the offense
Must be able to adapt on the fly during pressures of the game
Must be able to recognize fronts and blitzes and be able to translate them during game/practice/meeting
Understand why he is doing what he is doing to be able to effective do it
Body Type

- What WE Live By -
We are as blue collar as it gets on the football
field. We serve and work for the guys behind
us telling us what to run when to run it. It is
the grunt work. We are sure to sweat and
bleed everyday we are on the field working. It
is at times a grind and for sure most people
don’t want to, or cannot do what we do. No
one will know your name or who you are when
you walk by. Your name will not be in the
paper, but you will be the reason that SBU is in
the paper. When we step on the field it is time
to go to work and just bring it all day, everyday.
“Grab your hard hats and lunch pails, its time to go

8. “RTB”
The Basic Fundaments – “THE LITTLE THINGS”
PACE
: We are a no huddle team. There are three different modes: Regular, Look, and
Nascar. We will always get back to the line ready to go after each play. This is our on one
cadence.
Regular
: Center will get set down on ball, guards and tackles will get set on center. The play
will be called, ball snapped and go.
Look
: Is the same as regular except we will give a “set go” command and then look at
sideline for play. Then we will get set and go. (center is always set and down on ball in this
mode) This is our on two cadence.
Nascar: Is “SPRINT
It is extremely important the we understand these modes. Knowing the snap count and where
the ball is going are our biggest advantages against the defense. We must know the PACE and
fire off together as a unit to create a start of a successful play.
” to the line get set, get play, and go. This is our first sound cadence.
Stance
: We are a 2 pt team
Base
: A little wider than hips. This will never be wider.
Feet
: “Toes” pointing in with heels slightly kicked out. This position will force your
power thru the inside of the knee to the balls of you feet.
Stagger
: Our stance will never be stagger more than instep except for tackle which may
get toe to heel stagger but never farther.
Power producing angles
: The stagger of the feet places the up foot in a position to
create power producing angles in the ankles and knees. This is called “Z” in the knee.
To get this position, slightly roll knee forward to the front of your foot so that it is OVER
the toe. This will place the weight on the balls of the feet – heels slightly off the ground.
Arm & Hand
: The up foot arm should be placed with the forearm on the thigh. The
other arm should be placed with the hand on the thigh having a 90° bend in the elbow.
This is the set position.
Shoulders/Back/Tail
: Shoulders square to L.O.S. ; with a negative bend/arch in the back.
The tail should be pushed out to create the “Z” angles we are looking for.
Initial Movement
•
: We will explode out of our stance with a position set that allows us to
move forward not upward.
Arm action on the initial step, hands should strike the opponent first with speed.
We are trying to get our hands on the defender ASAP! The proper target for the
hands are the inside bicep and outside chest plate of the defender. The second step
then follows. As you drive your hips should work forward with continued leverage.
WE WILL NEVER TELL YOU TO BLOCK OR TACKLE (LEAD WITH) YOUR HEAD! LEAD
WITH YOU HANDS.
9. “RTB”
Center’s Stance and Exchange
: The stance that we will teach our offensive center is a
3-pt. with the weight evenly distributed on the balls of both feet with a little weight
placed on the ball itself.
Base
: Slightly wider that hip width with feet perpendicular to the L.O.S.
Feet
: Want the feet parallel, no stagger.
Shoulders/Back/Tail
: Shoulders must be square to the L.O.S. with the back
parallel to the ground. We want the tail to be at least as high as the shoulders
(this will keep the hips up) to facilitate the snap.
Initial Movement
: We want to explode out of our stance with back parallel to the
ground. We will step with our near foot when exploding out of block. Do not
anticipate the count. Snapping the ball early penalizes the rest of the offensive
lineman.
Position of the Ball
: The ball should be place slightly to the right eye (right
handed) left eye (left handed) and forward above your head. Extending the ball
in front of you will give you better cut off angles because the defenders will not
be as close to you or the rest of the lineman on the L.O.S.
The Grip
: The football is placed so that the laces are facing up. Grip the ball by
placing your right thumb between the second and third lace nearest to the front
end of the football. The fingers and palm of the hand will grip the ball on the side
so as to have complete control of the ball. The arm should be extended with
your wrist straight.
Effecting the Snap
The center must be the leader of the offensive line. In our system, you will be
responsible for making a number of line and protection calls. In order to do this you
must have a clear understanding of the concept of plays we will use. When making
calls, make them loud and clear. Make them as soon as possible. Do not be afraid to
use false calls. Never make calls without first seeing the alignment of the defense.
: Snap the ball by a natural turn to simulate putting your
thumb up you butt. Snapping and stepping with the proper foot should be one
continuous movement. The shotgun snap is preformed by shooting the ball back
to the quarterback. This can be done one of two ways by finding a follow
through spot on your butt (slap you butt) or implementing a stopper on the thigh
with your forearm.
10. “RTB”
Blocking Progression
Split
– Proper alignment is 2 foot splits
Stance
– As mentioned above
Approach
– Proper footwork
Contact
– Proper Placement
Follow Thru
– Proper Leverage/Coverage
Finish
– “Block forever” and “finish all blocks”
Pass Protection
: Eight teaching progressions steps
Stance
:
Squat
: (Hitting position)
Shuffle
: (Power step/ Kick Slide)
Target
: (Aiming point)
Jam
: (Punch and lock-out)
Timing the Jam
: (Anticipation and strike)
Set
: (Initial movement from stance to squat)
Alignment reads and sets
Stance: A correct stance will not only provide for excellent take-off, but also, allows for quick
transition to a set position for pass blocking. To be an effective blocker an offensive lineman
must develop a sound stance for proper execution and performance. Without the proper
stance, it is difficult to start with speed, power, leverage, or maintain a consistent effort after
the initial movements have been made. A correct stance will not only provide for excellent
take-off, but also promote the use of a balanced blocking position at contact.
The stance we use is a 2 pt stance with the weight distributed 60/40 over the front and back
two points of contact. This stance gives our offensive lineman the best opportunity for:
: (Head up, inside-outside shade, loose, gap)
Equal movement in all four directions (Rt, Lt, Forward, and Back/Vertical Set)
Excellent execution of their assignments, mechanics, and techniques
Common Faults
Toes pointed out - straight ahead
Weight back on heels instead of on balls of feet
Not balanced – too much forward or back (telegraph run or pass)
Head down – not straight ahead with eyes on target
Knees not in line with ankles and feet
Tail too high or low
11. “RTB”
Squat (Sit – Down Position): The Squat Position is established from the Set technique. The
squat is one of the most important fundamentals involved in pass protection. A blocker
must develop the ability to assume a good sit – down position commonly referred to as the
Set.
Base
: Hip wide or slightly wider
Feet
: Staggered, toe to heel relationship between up foot and back foot
Up Foot
: Post Foot/Leg (Inside and nearest the center)
Back Foot
•
: Support Foot/Leg (Outside and away form center)
CP
: Toes perpendicular to the L.O.S. The toes pointing down field and knees in
line with inside of feet weight on front foot and heels slightly off the ground.
The base and feet position are the keys to good pass protection
Knees
: should be flexed at a angle where they will be slightly aligned over the toes for
greater strength and balance (always bend in the knees no the waist)
Upper Thighs
: Weight is placed in Quads and Hams, must be able to accept and retain
this position with good muscle endurance
Arched Back
: Pull shoulders back and push butt out in a squat position forming a bowed
back
Head and Shoulders
: Pull the shoulders back, turn chin in, eyes on target
Head and arms
Shuffle (Power Step & Kick Slide): The method of moving the feet with the defender is a
shuffle technique involving a power step – kick slide action. It is critical that one foot
remains in contact with the ground stepping with foot to defender’s direction and sliding
the remaining foot to maintain proper Squat and Base control. It is very similar to guarding
an opponent in basketball.
: Elbows are bent and squeezed in at rib area, the hands are held close
and in at chest-shin level
Shuffle quickly, never cross your feet, keep your feet hot, base
travels with the hips and shoulders, maintain stagger, shuffle on the balls of the feet and
stay between the man and QB.
Power Step
: is picking up and pounding down quickly the UP/POST-FOOT into the
ground while moving laterally RT or LT or maintaining frontal position on the defender
Kick Slide
: is the direction and velocity of the Staggered/Support-Foot; the back foot
kicks and slides very quickly in alignment and unison with the power step, maintain
proper width staggered and weight distribution to battle the defender.
CP
Target: On all pass blocks, the blocker must concentrate on a specific spot or target for
proper contact and positioning on the defender. The middle of the numbers is our target,
so eyeball the middle of the defender’s numbers. (AIM SMALL MISS SMALL)
: The feet must move according to the target of the defender and must adjust to
him throughout the protection period of time.
CP: The whole target is the numbers – The Bullseyes – is spot in middle of numbers
12. “RTB”
Jam: In order to jolt and stop the pass rusher, and force a separation, it is imperative that
the blocker develop a strong punch
Hands are raised and placed close to chest – chin level
Punch up and through target
Keep hands inside on the numbers/pecs
Maintain lock-up and pressure
Timing the Jam: Is anticipating and striking the opponent with proper timing and
engagement. There is a spot in front of the protector called the cushion area 10-16 inches
out in front of the blocker. As the defender enters the area the pass blocker uncoils to
deliver the punch with maximum force for restriction and separation without losing balance
and control
Punch too early – lean forward
Punch too late – on heels
Grading: You will be graded on a +/- scale on three different areas:
Assignment/Execution/Technique
Assignment
: This is basically the mental section on did you or did you not do what you
were supposed to do on that specific play
Execution
: Did you get what you where suppose to do done (make the block)
Technique
“Football lineman are motivated by more complicated, self-determining series of
factors than the simple fear of humiliation in the public gaze, which is the
emotion that galvanizes the backs and receivers”
- Merlin Olsen
: Did you use the proper technique in getting to and maintaining the block
