Hidden Value of Organized Team Activities (OTA's): Technique

EPISODE57 - Bulls On Parade Talk - Hidden Value of OT... From Bulls On Parade Talk

Now that the Houston Texans have wrapped up their first week of OTA's, we will take a look at certain things that NFL players focus on during OTA's.  Technique is something that is overlooked by various people.  This qualifies, not just in the world of sports, but in various other professional worlds.  It's one of those little nuances that people forget about sometimes, not just when they are watching a sporting event, but their own profession.

When one works to get better at something, the tendency generally is to look at the little pieces that can inevitably complete the bigger puzzle.  Normally once the little things are figured out, people see big-time improvement in their overall skill-set.

So as you are watching a professional athlete perform, do you think about what you can improve on skill-wise when it comes to your own profession?

Talkshoe podcast schedule for the 2014 NFL season is SET!!

After the last podcast episode, a caller had sent a message on Twitter (@BullsParadeTalk) suggesting that the podcast episodes should be scheduled more regularly.  To those that have followed the podcast this past offseason, the episodes have been recorded pretty much right after Texans/sports news occur.  After some time of looking ahead at the 2014 NFL regular season schedule, a format has been created for this year's NFL regular season.  The format is as follows:

• Sunday afternoon games will have a LIVE pregame/preview show scheduled the Friday before along with a concise video on the BullsOnParadeTalk YouTube channel FOR EACH GAME.  After the game is over and the film has been studied, a LIVE postgame/review show will air at some point later on that very same Sunday along with another concise YouTube video reviewing what happened during the game based from what was seen on the game tape.
• The single Monday Night Football game scheduled this year will have its LIVE pregame/review show broadcast on the Sunday before including a brief YouTube video.  Due to the late ending to the football game, the postgame/review episode will be recorded at some point the next day (Tuesday) including the brief video.
• Finally, the Thursday Night Football game will have its LIVE pregame/review episode broadcast the Wednesday before, again, including the YouTube video.  And again, due to the late ending to the game, the postgame/review will be broadcast at some time (which will be determined at a later date) on Friday.

That is the overall initial scheduling plan for future podcast episodes for the 2014 NFL regular season.  Actual times will be determined later and based on the host's availability.  Therefore, please be patient.  If anyone has any suggestions or questions, feel free to let me know.

BULLS ON PARADE!!!  GO TEXANS!!!!
