Quarterback Coach for Indianapolis Colts powered Gridiron Foundation. Family Man; Psalms 37:3 OSU Beaver

QBs you better realize that football is NOT a sport for the soft. A soft QB kills a team in so many ways. And while mental toughness won’t guarantee you'll win … playing without it pretty much guarantees you won't. So either get tough or prepare to get exposed.

If your son wants to play college ball but thinks his HS coaches are too hard on him, he probably doesn’t need to pursue a college career…it’s an entirely different level of urgency and intensity. Being coached hard isn’t for everyone and that’s ok. It’s ok to just be a fan.

Young Quarterbacks learn and pay close attention to the Brock Purdy story. He went from zero to hero because he did not “SULK” when he was the last pick of the draft and sat on the bench. Instead he worked and continued to PREPARE so he was ready when his number was called!.

Quarterbacks understand that your leadership skills are the most important attribute you have. Use your influence carefully and remember a word of encouragement during failure is worth more than a dictionary of praise after success.

QBs and QB dads know that the best 10-year-old QBs aren’t always the best 8th grade QBs and the best 8th grade QBs aren’t always the best Varsity QBs. And very often the QBs that "aren’t so good" often become the best QBs down the road. That is why it is called DEVELOPMENT!.

Quarterbacks you become a leader the day you decide to make your mission to fully serve your teammates. When you realize it’s not about them serving you but you serving them. Big time impact happens at that point.

-Was told was too short for D1. -FAU, New Mexico, Rice only offers. -Walked on to Texas Tech. -Won QB job. -Injured. Transferred. -Walked on to Oklahoma. -Won QB job. Started for 3 years. -Lead Sooners to 34-6 record. -Won 2017 Heisman. Just imagine if he’d been tall enough!

Quarterback when you enter your locker room do you add energy or kill it? QBs who add energy: encourage others, work hard and do what they are asked. QBs who steal energy: complain, whine and blame others. Know that your habits affect your performance and your teammates.

Don’t like my Travel Team, I’ll just switch teams. Don’t like my High School Coach, I’ll just transfer. Don’t like my College Coach, I’ll just transfer. What are we teaching young people these days? We need to allow kids to fail and then allow their resilience to develop.

Quarterbacks accept that a Coaches job is not to make you happy. A Coaches job is to make you better. Someday when you're 25 you're going to realize that the people who demanded your best were also the ones who cared about you the most.

Quarterbacks you can beat 50% of your competition by consistently showing up and working hard. You can beat the next 40% by doing things with urgency and detail. But the last 10% … well that is simply a dogfight!.

Quarterbacks accept that you must be able to operate in chaos if you want to be great! Know that you will always be headed into a storm, presently in a storm or coming out of a storm. The storm is always present so condition yourself so you are always prepared to respond!.

Coaches and parents we have an opportunity and a duty right now. Our players and children need to see us leading from the front with calm resolve and full trust in God. They need to see we don’t panic but are wise, proactive and most importantly loving and patience with people.

I’ve figured out in coaching Quarterbacks over the years that talent is relatively common. Discipline however is fairly rare. The combination of talent and discipline is elite. DISCIPLINE IS THE FUEL FOR ACHIEVEMENTS.

QBs know what you can control in games:.• Effort.• Attitude.• Self-talk.• Body language.• Focus.• Execution. Know what you can’t control:.• Winning.• Your opponent.• Refs.• Fans.• Weather.• The past/future. To play your best, focus only on what you can control.

For all you youth QB dads out there. Consider taking a steady, long-term development approach. Make sure it’s about fun; help foster a joy for the game and a thirst for competition. Step back so your young QB can step forward. Problem solving is a highly underrated skill.

Back Up QBs . Ben Roethlisberger out for the year. Drew Brees out 6 weeks. Andrew Luck shocker early retirement. Sam Darnold’s mono. Nick Foles broken collar bone. Brutal first two weeks for NFL QBs. You just never know what’s gonna happen. PREPARE FOR YOUR MOMENT!.

Quarterbacks you must be leaders. I strongly suggest you set an example in your locker room by making sure you are always talking to your teammates and never about your teammates! No coaching staff ever wants their QB1 to be a “locker room attorney”.

Quarterbacks I would wisely accept that your position and football in general is about PREPARATION:.-105 hrs in QB specific offseason training. -105 hrs in Team offseason workouts. -120 hrs in Team summer workouts. -220 hrs in-season Team practice. That’s 550 hrs in PREPARATION.

For you QBs pursuing excellence understand that being coachable means you're open to feedback you don't want to hear and you resist the urge to make excuses or be defensive when challenged. Adopt a low ego approach and be focused on getting it right rather than being right.

Quarterback understand:. HS coaches risk their reputation with college coaches every time they recommend a player. As a QB that means you represent your coach and the future recruitment of your HS program. Handle yourself in a way that will keep college coaches coming back!.

Quarterbacks if you are truly pursuing excellence, then you need to understand that good Coaches are going to make you uncomfortable. They will.push you to failure as that is where your peak development begins … mastering the skills within the situations where you struggle.

QBs seeking THROWING power study PUNCHING power. Note how lead shoulder stays closed as front hip opens first creating a twist (spiral tension) in core. Forces accelerated rotation while building big TORQUE in punch extension. Experiment working this into your throwing motion.

QB has no offers and ranking sites ignore him. QB goes to work, gets 5 quick offers and same ranking sites now declare him a 4-star recruit. QB gets caught up in hype, slows his work, underachieves Senior season and then declared a “BUST”. You still trust the ranking system?.

I can tell almost everything about a QB by their response. The difference between 'average' QBs and 'great’ QBs is their perception of and response to failure.

I’ve studied this my entire coaching career and I’m convinced that ‘Elite Programs are not ‘perfect’. They are just composed of coaches and players that strongly pursue self-discipline and self-awareness! There is a culture of humility as everyone puts team before themselves.

Hey #Quarterback if you’re using social media to promote yourself for recruiting, may I suggest that use your real name, an actual picture of yourself and that your timeline’s content clearly reflects that you are a person that your future coaches and teammates can trust.

Every coach wants a QB with a big arm and dynamic athleticism but it’s really about vision! Check out this Tom Brady clip. That “eyes in the back your head” feel is developed PERIPHERAL VISION. Quarterback know your craft! Better get with a coach that knows how to teach vision.

A QB Coach has to be able communicate with both Introverts and Extroverts. Introverts need a lot of info so they can internally process and avoid paralysis by analysis. Extroverts need the key points with minimal instruction and direction. They just want to “grip it and rip it”.

This may shock you but hiring a recruiting service does NOT get you scholarship. Scholarships are earned in the WEIGHT ROOM and FILM ROOM. Every year D1 offers go out at the end of January when coaches hit the road. If you want this to be you next year . you better get busy.
