QUARTERBACKS

Gridiron QBs at all levels have access to the very same development, evaluation, education, and leadership as the NFL’s and NCAA's biggest stars. Professional training led by JC Boice and Gridiron’s Certified QB Coaches delivers a one-of-kind, partnership-based premium training experience.

Whether an elite Quarterback seeking high-end refinement or a beginner just getting started, Gridiron provides two complementary training models that are purposely designed to maximize developmental impact:

• Group Throwing Sessions

  (7 QBs or more) feature foundational teaching on throwing mechanics and QB-specific movement strategies. These sessions are also primarily focused on live throwing drills with receivers and defenders (defensive coverage) to create a dynamic, game-like stimulus to prepare and improve a Quarterback's under-pressure decision-making and game-time performance.

• Small Group Semi-Private Sessions

  (6 QB or less) feature detailed instruction on movement and mechanics with high-end video analysis and personal attention. Sessions also feature cutting-edge mini plyo-balls pattern training for optimized arm motion and kinematic sequencing for improved throwing power and passing accuracy. Quarterbacks also have optional classroom training that includes REPS R4 Oculus "virtual reality" repetitions for improved cognitive processing, field vision, coverage recognition, game-speed pocket presence, and overall QB self-confidence.

Gridiron also provides off-field development sessions that include complete arm care prehab and rehab and optional QB-specific strength and conditioning routines for improved QB performance in explosive movement, core stability, and arm path range of motion.

Most importantly, Gridiron stresses the critical nature of whole athlete development and provides regular instruction and seminars on Servant Leadership, Emotional Management, Mental Toughness, Competitive Drive and Increased Self-Confidence.

For maximized performance, we suggest a combination of the two training models in a minimum two sessions per week consisting of at least one (1) Small Group Semi-Private Session for finite skill acquisition and then at least (1) one Group Throwing Session for "live fire" repetitions with receivers.

Gridiron also encourages all QBs to push their leadership and make every effort to bring their Receivers and Tight Ends to training. QBs need to understand that Receivers add a powerful dynamic to their overall training experience and their receivers will also get professional coaching in their own groups when working directly with QBs. Gridiron Foundation Scholarships are available on request.

Gridiron provides our highly specialized training models full-time all January through the end of July. We do NOT provide training in season August through November as we partner directly with High School and Youth programs and their Coaching Staffs and we strongly support student-athletes being fully committed to their in-season teams. We further believe that student-athletes who continue to train in-season run a high risk of overtraining which is a detriment to their physical and mental health and thus also a detriment to their High School or Youth Team. We do provide in-season consulting and when necessary and with the blessing of the student-athletes Head Coach can provide in-season mechanics maintenance sessions to restore any potential bio-mechanical or mental issues the Quarterback might be having.

During Gridiron's 7-month (January through July) off-season development program we operate in "Training Sprints". It is well documented and widely accepted by sports development experts that a player's performance and skill acquisition are best optimized when they train intensely for 4 to 5 weeks followed by a week of rest and replenishment. Gridiron training models are also purposely scheduled to sync up with school breaks and holiday calendars.
