Coaches embrace technology to replace spring drills

In a perfect world, Lehman High head football coach Bruce Salmon knows the past week could have been spent guiding his program toward the end of spring drills.

Instead, Salmon and his staff are among the thousands of other coaches across the state who are practicing social distancing and discovering ways to instruct players remotely. It’s all part of the new normal coaches are adjusting to due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced the cancelation of UIL activities, including spring football.

While there are limitations and challenges, Salmon, along with many other head football coaches in the area, are further embracing technology to support their teams.
