First post on SS forums, hopefully I didn't foul anything up, I accept in due bashing if so.
I am a high school strength coach and having been teaching the SS method for the past year and a half. Before we start our next semester of classes I wanted to post my own video of yesterday for any advice. I have 3 classes of 30+ students plus after school students. I want to be sure that I am using proper form myself if I am to be coaching others. I would like to earn the SSC credential eventually. I only just recently started a linear progression as described in the book for the first time so it's not an incredibly difficult weight (295).
Thanks

Completely disagree with Jeff. If anything it may actually be the opposite... you need to let your knees move forward just a bit. What I'm seeing more of is that you're sitting back a ton and it looks like you're leaning back on your heels instead of being balanced over your mid-foot.
New set for evaluation, hoping to get more feedback. 315 today, all 3 sets are included from different angles. Tried working on some things that were pointed out by Jeff & BBB as well as my own observations (never filmed myself since I've been doing the low bar squat). We were always taught high bar in high school and college. Learned low bar on my own from the books and online videos/articles.

Here's a correction I almost never give - put the hooks a notch or two higher. Those are low enough that re-racking is going to end up being a problem.
You need to narrow your stance about half the width of your foot on each side. Also, work on not moving your head around so much - if you need to, do the tennis ball thing to work on keeping it in a fixed position. Bobbing the head around will mess with your balance and your hip drive.
Get your hips under the bar when you unrack... you are doing a 'good morning' to unrack. Walk the bar right into the rack when racking... don't look around and don't 'good morning' back into the rack.
Looking at the 3rd set: Point your toes out another 1-1.5 inches. Drive your knees out hard the entire time and stand up fully to complete your reps. The bar placement on your back looks low to me.
