Philosophy

Training Philosophy:

In order to build and motivate the "Elite Quarterback", the focus needs to be on the development of the core mental and physical fundamentals of "Elite Quarterback" play.

Why "Specialized" Quarterback Training?

Playing Quarterback is not just about having tremendous arm strength. To play and excel at the most demanding position in all of sports requires tremendous skill, unquestionable mental toughness, and the ability to lead. One must also possess the passion for the position and have a burning desire to be great. All quarterbacks must be committed to their individual craft and the collective goal of their team. They must be that individual who is willing to do whatever is asked and whatever it takes to get the goal accomplished for the greater good of the team. Also, by not having proper fundamentals for the position, a quarterback will not reach his maximum potential. In other words, instruction from MAD-QB Quarterback Academy will provide any quarterback with the knowledge of the tangibles and intangibles needed in order to play the position at a high level. In addition to high levels of repetition in all areas of sound quarterback fundamentals, each instructional session will also focus on the mental preparation of the position. They will be tutored on important details such as pre-snap front and coverage recognition, the strengths and weaknesses of coverages, key reads and progressions on specific passing concepts, and all necessary football terminology and verbiage. This is what will be needed to gain a competitive edge over the competition.
