QBA’s Impact.

I brought my son, Charlie, to Coach Slack three years ago after meeting him at a QB group session. Charlie had a strong arm but needed help with form and putting more spin on the ball. Due to him being a bigger kid, he was being encouraged to move to another position in football that he didn’t want to play.

We had a couple years with other QB coaches, but Coach Slack was able to fix Charlie’s issues within the first 30 minutes! Charlie was absolutely thrilled after the practice, and we’ve continuously trained with Coach Slack ever since. Coach Slack has also been an amazing influence on Charlie, helping him navigate the ups and downs of the position, as well as giving him the advice of how to excel at football. As long as Charlie plays this sport, we’ll keep coming to Coach Slack for training and advice.

My son, Patrick, would not be in the position he’s in, playing QB at the Division 1 level if not for Coach Michael Slack’s coaching and mentorship. He’s taught Patrick everything he knows about mechanics and so much beyond just how to throw a football with velocity and accuracy. He’s watched hours of film with him to teach him how to attack a defense, make great decisions with the football, and help his team move the chains. He’s helped Patrick embrace the responsibility, discipline, and leadership it takes to be a great quarterback. He’s been a great mentor to him in life as well, and he’s someone we always feel like Patrick can go to for great advice. He’s exactly the kind of man you want teaching your son, one that will always reinforce the values we try to instill in our children in our home. If you’re looking for a coach to help teach your son how to be a better quarterback, leader, and man, I would highly recommend Michael Slack.

My son Aiden has been training with Coach Slack since 2022. Teaching proper footwork, throwing mechanics, and reading coverages at a young age sets these kids up for lifelong success on and off the field.

It takes a lot of positive energy to coach kids, build their confidence after a mistake, and keep them focused. Coach Slack does this with endless patience and encouragement, along with teaching them the truth about life after football, which all children need to know will happen eventually, and the importance of values that extend off the field.

Coach Slack has worked with Aiden consistently for years, and seeing my son under center with improved decision-making and poise is a direct result of the time and care Coach Slack has put into training him. Not only has my son developed attributes that have helped him have success on the field, but also off the field as well.

I can’t thank Coach Slack enough for his commitment, his energy, and the great example he has set for my son. Aiden has earned the starting job at his HS because of all the time, effort, and dedication Coach Slack has put into training him. I am grateful for everything Coach Slack has done and continues to do.

Coach Slack has had a huge impact on my development as a quarterback. I’ve had the opportunity to work with several quarterback trainers throughout my career, but no one has taught the fundamentals of throwing a football at the level that he does. The foundation he helped me build played a huge role in my development, from the Pop Warner level all the way to competing in the SEC. I’m extremely grateful for all the time, knowledge, and effort Coach Slack has invested in me throughout my career. I truly believe I wouldn’t be where I am today without him.

Michael Slack is hands down the best QB coach my son, Colton, has ever worked with. Colton has attended a number of his camps and has also had the opportunity to work with him one-on-one, and the impact he’s had on Colton’s development has been tremendous. The mechanics Michael teaches and the way he teaches the quarterback position are second to none. He has an incredible understanding of how the position is supposed to be played and does a great job communicating that to young quarterbacks. More importantly, Michael is just a great guy who genuinely cares about the kids he works with. We have a tremendous amount of respect for him and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

We’ve known Coach Michael Slack for about four years, and the difference he has made in my son as both a quarterback and a young man has been incredible. My son’s throwing mechanics are more efficient, footwork is cleaner and smoother, and his football IQ has grown tremendously. But as his dad, what Coach has done beyond football means even more to me.

Coach brings his faith in God into what he does, and I’m thankful to have a man like that pouring into my son. He’s hard on him, but in the right way. He doesn’t tell him only what he wants to hear—he tells him what he needs to hear. Coach also makes sure he truly understands what he’s being taught. If something doesn’t click one way, he’ll explain it another way, and he doesn’t just accept short, empty answers either. He doesn’t let my son go through the motions, but makes him think, and makes sure he understands the why behind what he’s doing.

After four years, my son is without question a better quarterback because of Coach Slack. But more importantly, I believe he’s a better young man because of him too. As his dad, that means more to me than anything Coach could ever teach him about throwing a football.

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.

Our son Bjorn graduated in 2025 as the #33 QB ranked in the country. He committed to the University of Virginia and is currently at the University of Hawaii. Bjorn’s development and success were in high school was largely due to Coach Slack’s mentorship, professionalism, teaching skills and knowledge of the game. Coach Slack has always made himself available throughout Bjorn’s youth football (age 10) up and through today. As parents we could not be more appreciative of Coach Slack and his ability to communicate the why and how regarding throwing mechanics. We highly recommend any parent to get their kid to Coach Slack. Bjorn would simply not be where he is now without him.
