Elite Quarterback Coaching

This quarterback training article is about quarterback coaching. If you want to play the quarterback position you must have these three quarterback skills.

#1. Quarterback Mental Sharpness

You must be able to understand the play calls, huddle, formations, quarterback reads of the defense. If your coach or team can't count on you to be mistake free, you can never play quarterback. The metal side of quarterback is very hard but also very rewarding. So learn all of your plays/formations. Make sure you understand the startegy behind all of the plays. What is the team trying to don on each play. Button line to play the quarterback position you must be football smart!

#2. Vision

All good quarterbacks must be able to see the football field and understand from a strategic position what are qb's and the teams best options for our teams success. Do we have enough men on the field? Is the formation correct? Is the running play called going to work against a specific defense? Is the pass called by the head coach going to work against that pass defense. What if they are blitzing? All good quarterbacks must be able to see and understand the game and it strategies!

Depth perception and judgment make this the 3rd most important category. Seeing the route being run down the field in conjunction with the spacing of defensive players is extremely important. Seeing how they are covering the receivers is another crucial element. If the quarterback doesn't see these things properly, it is a huge disadvantage. Good vision is reflected by good decision making and sound judgment. Don't throw interceptions (A quarterback's most important job). The single most important issue when talking about a quarterbacks overall judgment and decision making. The single best example is Joe Montana.

#3. Quarterback Balance/Footwork

You must have balance and good footwork to play qb! Whether is is taking the snap, handing the ball of on a running play or correctly doing a 3 step drop on a slant route pass play. Footwork is the foundation of passing accuracy. If you need help with your footwork look into some football ladder drills.
