If you grabbed the free Film Study Notepad already, you know the format works — a place to actually log what you see instead of just watching film pass by. The question I kept getting after that was some version of “do you have something bigger for the whole season?” So we built one.
What it actually is
The Complete Film Study Journal is a 25-page printable guide built around one idea: film study only makes you better when you’re watching with a specific job in mind, not just watching. It’s not a highlight reel or a motivational read — it’s a workbook you fill in every week of your season.
What’s inside
- Six position-group “Watch For” guides, so you know what you’re actually supposed to be looking for on film based on where you line up — not generic advice that applies to nobody in particular.
- Eight weekly log-and-reflection spreads, each with its own theme and focus question, so week 3’s film study is asking something different than week 7’s.
- A season wrap-up section, so the last thing you do with the journal is look back at the whole year, not just the last game.
- A how-to-use-it section up front, because a blank journal with no instructions gets used twice and then forgotten.
Who this is for
Players who already know film study matters but have never been given a structure for it. Parents looking for something better than “watch more film” to hand their kid. Coaches who want their whole roster building the habit, not just the players who’d figure it out on their own anyway.
Get the Complete Film Study Journal — instant PDF download, $9. If you haven’t grabbed the free two-page Film Study Notepad yet, that’s a good place to try the format before committing to the full season.
