play, therefore he should be one of

Spending time on Football will

naturally give your QB more confidence

Knowing the answers to the football

questions gives confidence

Meetings ensure communication and a

relationship between Coach and QB.

Both make a QB comfortable

A comfortable QB is a confident QB

Create an Offense that suites your QBs

Skills!! Do not ask him to do something

he can not do. (mentally and

physically)

Allow him to make Mistakes as well as

Plays!!!

TEACH YOUR QB THE WHYSTEACH YOUR QB THE WHYS

OF YOUR OFFENSEOF YOUR OFFENSE Do not just explain what you want

your QB to do but why they should

do it.

Your QB is an extension of the

coach on the field, he needs tounderstand things as well as you

do.

It will help him be a leader and

direct the Offense. (Answer

questions from other players)

Allow for questions and

communication they are a natural

part of learning NOT A

CHALLENGE TO AUTHORITY.

MAJOR PROBLEMS WITHMAJOR PROBLEMS WITH

Landing on heel causes imbalance and decreases throwing velocity

Landing on toe decreases power

Only used for short passes that require maximum release point


37/47

OPEN HIPSOPEN HIPS

The 2 prime Sources of Power in Throwing are the Hips and Trunk

45 angle is important to open the hips

Opening hips generates power

As little as 2 inches can significantly

decreases velocity

Example of jammed/closed hips

Results in decreased accuracy

and velocity
