How QBA training works

Professional instruction within limited-enrollment small groups. No long lines: personal interaction with QBA coaching staff, with every athlete placed in an age- and experience-appropriate group to maximize skill acquisition.

Classroom IQ training paired with on-field work: development-based teaching that builds vision, coverage recognition and decision making, then puts it to work in live reps.

Detailed player assessment with video and coach feedback, so every quarterback knows where they stand and exactly what to work on next.
Testimonials
For over 3 decades, the Academy has had the privilege of training over 50,000 quarterbacks and continues to make a meaningful difference in young men’s lives, both on and off the field.
We are deeply grateful to the parents, coaches, and players who take advantage of the opportunities we provide and share their incredible feedback with us. Their trust, participation, and support—and that of so many others—inspire us to give our very best every day and continue making a difference through this amazing game.
In a landscape where it seems like there are QB trainers everywhere, Michael stands out from the crowd. He’s not interested in self-promotion, tying himself to successful QBs, or getting kids “offers”…he’s about one thing…helping a QB be the best version of themself. In my opinion, he is one of the FEW QB trainers that can teach your child how to throw a football most efficiently and with the proper mechanics for THEM. This is RARE. We have two boys who have gone to Michael and they deeply respect him because he’s able to diagnose their issues quickly and address them. He consistently gets results due to his knowledge AND also due to his ability to help the student UNDERSTAND HOW to accomplish the teaching points. He uses language and word pictures that they can grasp. Additionally, his demeanor, perspective and advice carries a ton of weight and his students listen to him intently. If you want your son to become all that he can at the QB position from footwork, to mechanics to thinking properly in the midst of the game Michael is the guy. Bring your QB son to him once and you’ll see.
Mike Slack has been much more than just a quarterback coach to my son. For over nine years, I had the opportunity to watch Mike help develop him not only as a quarterback, but also as a young man. What makes Mike special is his ability to truly understand each athlete and communicate in a way that connects with them personally. He knows when to push, when to teach, and how to bring out the very best in his players.
The results we saw over those nine years have been incredible, but what I appreciated most is Mike’s genuine investment in my son’s development, confidence, and success. His knowledge of the quarterback position is second to none, but his ability to develop the person behind the player is what truly sets him apart. I will always be grateful for the impact Mike has had on my son. Next year , my son will start his college career as one of the QB’s at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut.
Coach Slack has been the most influential person in my life when it comes to my ability to throw a football. I trained with Coach Slack from middle school football all the way through playing college football in the ACC, and I wouldn’t have gotten as far as I did without him.
Coach Slack understands, at the highest level, the mechanics of the body and how they apply to the quarterback position. His work is personalized to each individual and designed to replicate real game situations, which makes what you do in training easily translate to the field. He doesn’t put you through generalized workouts that you could find anywhere else. Every drill has a purpose.
What makes Coach Slack unique is that, just as he helps you improve your ability to play the quarterback position, he also helps you grow as a competitor and as a man. I’m incredibly grateful for the investment he has made in me over the years, both as a quarterback and as a person. I would recommend Coach Slack to any quarterback who is serious about preparing themselves for the next level.
