NEWS AND UPDATES

8/9/2020 Sports1/3 Dartmouth changed the way it practiced. It’s a model for the pandemic.

BY ANDREW BEATON.

Buddy Teevens came up with a crazy idea because he needed one. Dartmouth’s football team lost every one ofits games in 2008. It won only two in 2009. Teevens knew just two things for certain: His team’s injury rate wasreally high and its success rate was really low.Teevens’s radical plan to turn around an Ivy League football program a decade ago is now the unlikelyblueprint for every team in the NFL. Dartmouth eliminated full-contact practices. Injuries plummeted. Successskyrocketed. Rethinking how football teams have practiced for over a century made Dartmouth healthier—andbetter.Now, the coronavirus pandemic has forced Bill Belichick, Andy Reid and every NFL coach to follow the leadof Buddy Teevens. This season’s player safety protocols ban padded practices with full contact in NFL camps until Aug. 17, three weeks after players first report. It’s a contentious restriction for the same reason Dartmouth’s strategy was such an outlier in 2010 and still is today: For as long as players have run with an oblong- shaped ball toward a patch of grass called an end zone,coaches have believed the most effective way to prepare players is by practicing with the same physicality as ina game. Anything less has been rebuked by purists as sacrificing the quality of the sport in the name of safety. Teevens looked at the problem differently than all of his peers. His team was both bad and hurt. At the same moment when there was a growing national conversation about football’s long-term health risks, he wondered if his team could be less bad by being less hurt.So after winning two games in as many years, he marched into a meeting with his staff one day with an edict:Dartmouth was going to phase out live contact from all of its practices. The players weren’t going to train for games anymore by tackling and mauling one another. It was such a deviation from football orthodoxy that everyone in the room looked at him like he had goalposts for arms.“Guys thought it was a joke. They were just waiting for the punchline,” says Teevens, who is still Dartmouth’s coach. “They were looking at me like: What are you thinking?”Teevens was actually thinking about the past advice he had received from two guys who knew one or two things about winning football games: Bill Walsh and Steve Spurrier. After playing quarterback for Dartmouth in the ’70s, Teevens’s coaching odyssey included stints with two of the greatest minds to ever draw plays on a chalkboard. For three seasons, he was an assistant under Spurrier at Florida. The next three years, he was the coach at Stanford, where Walsh returned as an administrator after once serving as the school’s coach.These two coaches are hailed for their progressive offenses, but Teevens says they were even more progressive when it came to protecting their players. They both instilled in him the idea that little was more important than getting their team to game day in tip-top shape. Unlike other coaches, they didn’t take pride in having their players batter each other every day. “Why would you beat the crap out of our own team and players?” Spurrier says. “I used to tell people: When the army’s preparing for battle, they don’t use live bullets against each other.So why use live collisions when we get ready for opponents?”Teevens took that logic to the next level. He had no idea if it would be effective. “If it didn’t work, I’m fired and unemployed right now,” he says. But he thought he could build an entire system around it. The coaches. A New Blueprint for Football.
