Some coaches have an opinion that quarterback throwing accuracy cannot be taught. The belief is that throwing accuracy is a given sport skill. The truth is sport skills are not given to anyone. Sports skills are learned through doing the right drills, with the right intensity, for the right amount of repetitions. In this book, Coach Renner explains the three-specific throwing mental cues and how to teach and coach them to make any quarterback more accurate. He provides pictures, charts and drills that detail how to incorporate the mental cues training with your quarterback. He discusses how to teach throwing windows, read the defender of the primary route, and make three important pocket movements and still be accurate. He provides you with his quarterback target layout that you can build to have your quarterback develop consistent use of the mental cues and achieve consistent throwing mechanics. He includes a workout plan to show you how to improve your quarterback's accuracy in the off-season and the in-season. And, at the end of the book he has detailed pictures of the throwing mechanics sequence and how a quarterback's balance, posture and core stability affect his accuracy. Coach Renner has used these mental cues to develop his own team's quarterbacks. These mental skills helped produce two Elite 11 quarterbacks, college quarterbacks and quarterbacks who became very good high school players. During a 10-year, 116 game span, Coach Renner coached 5 different quarterbacks, at 4 different schools, in two different states. They threw for 27,117 yards, completed 60% of their passes, averaged 34 points a game, and 6 wins a season for those 10 years. Using these mental cues allowed them to be consistently accurate. Understanding and implementing Coach Renner's mental cues with your quarterback's throwing routine and plays will help your quarterback improve his accuracy as well.

With unparalleled access to Heisman Trophy-winning phenom Johnny Manziel, Bruce Feldman has written a modern-day tale about the making of the next superstars in football's most important position: the quarterback. In the world of modern football, with NFL teams worth more than a billion dollars, no position defines a franchise like the quarterback. The QB is the story of a year in the making of those star players, and of the most significant year in QB development in sport’s history… with the meteoric rise of various quarterback gurus finally coming to light. George Whitfield, profiled in the New Yorker and called the “Quarterback Whisperer,” gets a regular spot on ESPN’s College GameDay, Trent Dilfer, former Super Bowl quarterback, starts his own qb business, Steve Clarkson, another qb maker, gets profiled on 60 minutes, among many others. It is also the year 5’10” Russell Wilson wins the Super Bowl and for the first time in over 60 years a sub-6-foot QB, Johnny Manziel, gets drafted in the first round, forcing NFL power brokers to re-examine how they look at the position—and the game. To tell the story of all that goes on to create the perfect quarterback, bestselling author Bruce Feldman gained unique access to "Johnny Football" (that's Johnny Manziel), George Whitfield and many other players in what has become a specialized and high-stakes business. In the past decade the boom of the private quarterback-coach business, with its pageant-world-for-boys vibe, has changed the position and the game. The QB tells the story of the interlocking paths of the most fascinating characters involved in this secretive world, examining how advanced analysis has taken root in football. Manziel’s portrait is the most intimate look at him yet, detailing all his talents and antics. His guru is a man who has come to be known for making QBs--George Whitfield, unparalleled in the business. And then there is Trent Dilfer, the quarterback who never could get to the superstar level, despite winning the Super Bowl. He is the Salieri to Manziel's Mozart. There is the computer/brain analysis company trying to quantify how playmakers think, the biomechanics expert who saved Drew Brees’s career, and many more fascinating behind-the-scenes looks into this world. Never before has the game so relied on the development of the quarterback. In The QB, the stories of these men illustrate how high the stakes of the quarterback’s game really are, taking readers on a compelling journey into the heart of America's beloved game.

Leadership is a teachable trait. And, no sports position requires leadership from a player more than football does from the quarterback. You cannot expect the quarterback to know how to be a leader. You have to teach him how to function as a leader. The quarterback's leadership influence is not just limited to his team. His leadership reach extends to the support staff, the students and faculty in the school, the community and in the surrounding area. He is the CEO of the football organization. And, he needs to be taught how to recognize and take advantage of his leadership opportunities to make the team the best it can be. Coach Bill Renner has extensive experience as a head football coach turning around high school football programs. He has tutored his quarterbacks and they have exceled on the field regionally, All-State players, and nationally, Elite 11 Quarterbacks.

In How to Teach a Quarterback to be a Leader, Coach Renner gives you specific ways to teach your quarterback leadership. On-the-field, in the locker room, around the school, in the weight room, out in the community all are opportunities the quarterback needs to be taught to be aware of where he can exert his leadership.

He gives you a leadership checklist and leadership principles that are easily implemented to teach a quarterback in any program.
