Finding enough quality practice repetitions for all of your quarterbacks throughout the week can be a big challenge for coaches. In addition to teaching ball security, footwork, throwing mechanics, pre- and post-snap reads, and route progressions, the responsibilities required of a quarterback in a multiple, no-huddle offense are immense. What can you do as a coach to get the most out of the time spent with your QBs on the practice field?

In this video, Myers Hendrickson details how to teach and develop quarterbacks by designing and implementing game-like drills so that your QBs have the opportunity to improve throughout the entirety of practice. Coach Hendrickson provides in-depth commentary, game and practice film, and whiteboard illustrations to show how you can teach your quarterback to become a more efficient player.

Practice Structure and Design

Learn how to design and implement game-like drills for your QBs for the entirety of practice to get the most out of your time. Finding creative ways to incorporate quarterbacks into group and team practice drills gives them more repetitions and opportunities to work on basic fundamentals of QB play.

Coach Hendrickson explains how to seamlessly incorporate your quarterbacks into drills traditionally designed for other position groups so that quarterbacks can work on individual fundamentals within a group or team concept.

Detail-Oriented and Game-Related to Improve Efficiency

Using proper fundamentals will lead to efficient QB play; and an efficient QB will lead to an efficient offense. In addition to teaching your QB ball security, correct footwork, and proper throwing mechanics for zone and power runs, and for quick game, dropback, and sprint out passes, Hendrickson teaches three techniques for meshing with the running back to manipulate defenders on play actions, perimeter screens, slip screens, and RPOs.

Schematics

Quarterbacks must be able to learn how to process visual information as quickly and accurately as possible. Coach Hendrickson shows you how to execute pre- and post-snap reads and implement RPOs through game film, practice drills, and on the whiteboard. He teaches how to correctly work through a route progression by reviewing specifics about identifying defensive coverage, reading coverage rotation, and responding to defenders' post-snap movements.

With over 10 drills, game and practice film examples, whiteboard illustrations, in-depth commentary, coaching tips and more, Coach Hendrickson gives you everything you need to know to develop a QB for a multiple, no-huddle offense. With emphasis placed on fundamental development, pre- and post-snap decision-making, and maximizing practice repetitions creatively within team and group drills, this video will help you train your quarterbacks to become more efficient and effective.
