We sit down with Adam Thielen to unpack how an undrafted special teamer built a 12 year career through route detail, mental reps, and unshakable confidence. Along the way we hit playoff lessons, officiating consistency, code word tempo, and raising multi‑sport kids.
• retirement reflections and shifting focus to golf
• why playoff football magnifies ball security and defense
• the 77 concept, motion, and routes that beat any coverage
• usage, flow state, and the competitor’s dilemma late in a career
• Caleb Williams’ off‑script throws and arm talent
• learning and living in the Coryell three‑digit system
• first 100‑yard game off one‑word tempo and heavy personnel
• mental reps from install to walkthrough to practice
• coming off the ball, stride discipline, and leverage
• coaching the craft vs scheme dependency
• parenting competitive kids and multi‑sport value
• what complete offense looks like: run, play action, keepers
• officiating consistency, accountability, and quick corrections
