Quarterback Academy by Michael Slack Story

Quarterback Academy was founded by Michael’s father, Darin Slack, in 1988. Michael grew up in the Academy and carries not only the experience of the past, but the vision for the future of sound QB training. QBA’s core principles flow from QBA’s proven track record of building better football players by building better men!

50,000 athletes can attest to the success in life, work and football achieved through training and developing with Academy Camps, books, and DVDs. Coaches and parents have returned year after year to benefit from our proprietary progressive, sequential, dynamic development curriculum. This powerful history continues into the next phase under Coach Michael’s leadership.

Recognizing the immense value of systematic, precision training, we have invested heavily in self-development and continuing education so you can have confidence that every camp meets any industry-leading standards.

At QBA we daily prove:

• Change the way a young man thinks about football, career and purpose in life and you ensure his future.
• Earning respect and leading by example are the marks of true victory.
• Because every player can make a difference, every player must achieve full potential
• Fostering Confidence, Consistency, Character and Commitment–the backbone of the Self-Correct System–is our primary duty to parents and coaches.
• Tomorrow’s leaders are today’s football leaders!
• Our story is still being written and we invite you to be another successful chapter!

QBA’s Primary Aim: “Accelerated Development and Leadership.”

QBA’s Core Values:

• We believe we can change the way young men think about football, career, and purpose for life.
• We believe a QB’s highest achievement isn’t a scholarship or a victory. It’s earning the respect of teammates and leading them by example.
• We believe that every athlete can make a difference, and therefore must achieve their potential.
• We believe that if even one athlete in every place we go hears the call to make a difference with his gift, then we’ve succeeded.
• We believe it is our privilege to assist coaches in developing skilled, self-motivated young men for their programs who remind them how much fun they have doing what they do.
• We believe it is our duty to assist parents, in fostering Confidence, Consistency, Character, and Commitment in young QBs
• We believe that the next generation of leaders is lost without understanding the rich reward and legacy that comes to men who sacrifice for a greater good.
