Why QB Connect?

From NFA Founder Darin Slack

When I started NFA 35+ years ago, specialized training for quarterbacks was rare. Today, the field is saturated with "experts."

I do believe the QB development industry has matured greatly from its early days and the knowledge offered is certainly improving. But, as the amount of coaches grows, I still see the same challenges I was up against at the beginning.

There are so many QB trainers...

...still riding the pre-existing talent of the athletes they train to social media stardom.

...inexperienced and misinformed about critical kinesiological advances made in understanding proper throwing mechanics.

...who sound knowledgeable, but lack the skill to affect sustainable change in young quarterbacks mechanics.

At NFA, we've consistently updated our training methods learning new and better ways to achieve success by asking hard questions, being willing to change, and prioritizing better coaching over reputation.

This is the NFA difference.

As servant leaders, we exist to build men who do likewise while developing elite level skills to play quarterback.

Our greatest strength is our multi-decade commitment to integrity and character in our messaging and methods.

But as good as we've tried to be, here's the real truth...What Michael Slack, now our lead mechanics coach, was taught in his play days is not what he teaches players today.

You see, we provided him the best coaching foundations not because we knew every secret to QB throwing mechanics - we didn't. Instead, he was trained to self-correct, not self-destruct.

He owned his mechanics journey by answering the hard questions, making the changes that worked for him, and cultivating his own vision of the best way forward.

Every player we coach is immersed in a world of constantly self-evaluating training assisted by multiple inputs from different coaches - many of whom are among the most successful in the industry.

Michael earned an Exercise Science degree, engaged key kinesiological training from experts, and added his own 20+ years of continual adaptation in NFA. Through his own process, he built the most cutting edge system of QB training available to you in QB Connect.

His philosophy is clear - simple and sound.

He just keeps getting QBs phenomenally better at rates of speed that have earned the respect of real, legitimate high school and college staff coaches around the country who know the best QB trainers available.

That's not just a cute marketing comment, it's a legitimate passing of the baton to an even  better training option for your athlete.

By adding 3D Virtual POV software, our QB Connect studio, Podcasts, online video evaluations, and an online QB community, QB Connect is pure value!

QB Connect is NFA's next step to keeping its promise to the next generation of QBs that need to learn how to "self-correct and not self-destruct."
