If you are looking for a QB coach then Coach Joe is your guy. My son has had 2 sessions and has already worked out all the bad habits. It is amazing to see small changes have such a HUGE impact on speed, velocity and accuracy. There is no comparison to group QB camps & 1x1 training with Coach Joe.

Ive got to say, although my son won the qb job last season, he did so because the offense was primarily a running only with a few passes that didnt go so well.

His mechanica were out of whack and just was not accurate. I tried what I knew last year but he was only hitting the target about 10 % of the time.

Now enters Coach Joe,

On the first session Phillip was throwing accurately. Once Joe viewed his errant techniques, he quickly explained what phil was doing wrong.

I could not be happier. Phillip was now throwing at my hands about 80% of the time.

Phil has a way to go because Joe threw a lot at him, but its definitely working.

My son, who will be in the 8th gr. has played football for 6 years now. He knows the game well, but still indecisive about the position he wants to play. I have been looking for a coach who coaches private football training. After researching Coach Up, Coach Joe was available to coach my son. The Coach was on time, fair about the meeting place, and coached clearly to a 12 yr old. He made sure my son understood the basic skills and worked with him patiently. Coach Joe has a great attitude, hes laid back, and will be a great mentor and coach. We are going to continue with the Coach Up program and continue working with Coach Joe. We did not have any issues 😊
