Episode: Quarterbacks

In this episode, Coach Nick finally dives into the quarterback position—with social media flooded with “QB gurus” preaching one-size-fits-all mechanics, it’s time to weigh in. Nick pushes back on the idea that there’s a single correct way to play quarterback and instead emphasizes function over form. Great QB play, he argues, comes down to timing, accuracy, and decision-making—not whether the throw looks like a viral warm-up clip.

Key Takeaways:

• There’s no universal “right” way to throw—different isn’t wrong unless it’s unsafe or ineffective.
• Coaches often waste time fixing things that don’t need fixing.
• The only non-negotiable: don’t let mechanics take your eyes off the target.
• Sidearm and off-angle throws are fine if they support performance, not style.
• Don’t coach out what works—coach toward better outcomes.
