I Am Totally Sold
Your program is fantastic, the best I have ever seen on throwing mechanics. We are now using your material with our QBs at LSU. I am totally sold on what you are trying to do, and I want you to work with my son next off season.

The Very Best Teacher
I have coached for thirty years and have visited with quarterback coaches from the NFL, major college, and high school ranks. I believe that Darin Slack is the very best teacher of quarterbacks that I know…His system is based on sound fundamentals and thorough instruction... I have bought tapes from many different sources over the years and have found that his are the best of their kind. To put it simply, his system works….I think that while there are a number of people who know how to throw the football, none of them have the ability to teach the skill of throwing the football as well as Darin Slack. He has the heart of a teacher, and that is makes him special in his field.

Great Foundation
I was a former camper of Coach Slack's twelve years ago. His personal instruction was the main reason I became a Division 1 quarterback in the SEC. This letter is for any father of a son who truly dreams of being a great QB, or any coach who is needing assistance in getting their QB up to the task.
Coach Slack's instruction will help any QB achieve the dream of being the best he can possibly be. His coaching will pave the way for him to start and continue a promising career as a great QB. HE IS, BY FAR, IN MY OPINION THE BEST QB COACH THERE IS TODAY.
He will teach any QB the proper fundamental mechanics of throwing the football CORRECTLY! And he is excellent at getting across the mental and leadership aspects of playing the position.
With the great foundation Coach Slack provides, the sky is the limit for anyone playing this position. Darin is no fly by night coach. He has been there, was a great player himself, and his track record in players' lives will prove that he gets it done as a coach.
I have been coached from some of the best QB coaches in America during my career, and DARIN SLACK IS BY FAR THE BEST QB COACH I HAVE EVER HAD. He will transform any QB dramatically and position them to succeed. Plain and simple, HE GETS THE JOB DONE!

More Than Hoped
This was just an incredible session. Your references don't do you justice. They said you were really good, and made me believe it was worth it to make the trip to Orlando, but this just has to be experienced, it can't be explained to people how good this program really is. I still can't believe how good this was for my son. I thought it would be good, but this was more than I could have hoped for.

Vastly Improved
“I have had my son participate in many different QB camps throughout the county, I can honestly say after attending Coach Slack’s Quarterback Academy my son was vastly improved as a leader and a passer. I truly believe Coach Slack training methods are some of the best around.”

Phenomenal Job
"Darin Slack does a phenomenal job working with quarterbacks! I was amazed at the vast improvement made by my quarterback in just 90 minutes of work with Darin. I was skeptical at first, but after watching Darin’s simple approach and instruction, I am a firm believer in his ability to develop confidence and consistency with any quarterback. He has a unique ability to teach a kid to “get it,” and once that happens it’s as if each throw is perfect! Darin Slack is a tremendous asset to quarterbacks and coaches alike."

Exceeded My Expectations
Coach Slack just came to Nelson County High School on June 5th, 2004 for a 1-day camp. He is a professional that demands excellence, precision, concentration, hard work, and he is a technician in the art of throwing a football CORRECTLY! His camp FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!
Coach Slack gives in-depth, detailed explanations for WHY he teaches a technique, rather than simply telling the player "this is how it is done." Coach Slack was involved with the development of each player, in each area, and worked with the coaching staff, to insure the instruction is reinforced throughout the summer and preseason. Going into the camp I had no clue how to teach a kid the proper method of throwing a football, and after one day with Coach Slack, I am confident in my abilities to teach a player the proper methods of throwing a football.

Inspiring
I want to thank you for an awesome experience at St. Thomas Aquinas HS. I have been coaching for 8 years and was fortunate enough to play this greatest of games for some 16 years. I learned more about the Quarterback position in the past 2 days than in all those years together. Your knowledge on throwing mechanics as well as so many of the little things we take for granted is awesome. More importantly, I wanted my quarterbacks to understand the role of a quarterback and you explained it better than anyone I have ever heard. You inspired me to be a better quarterback coach... God used you to speak to me and remind me of what this should really be about, using football as a tool to touch the lives of kids. Thanks

Inside Out and Ground Up
"I can't think of a better coach to get into the head of a young Quarterback than Darin Slack. He takes them inside out and from the ground up and doesn't just talk mechanics, but talks about what being a QB is all about. I recommend his clinics for QB's of any level.

Loaded With Knowledge
Coach Darin Slack has just released his latest DVDs and they are dynamite! His "Self correct, instead of Self destruct" tapes are cutting edge, and imo, a real must for all serious QB'S and QB Coaches! Not only very professionally produced, but loaded with the years of knowledge of Darin’s personal coaching and playing experience!

Worth The Trip
This past summer.....This was just an incredible session. Your references don't do you justice. They said you were really good, and made me believe it was worth it to make the trip to Orlando, but this just has to be experienced, it can't be explained to people how good this program really is. I still can't believe how good this was for my son. I thought it would be good, but this was more than I could have hoped for.
Justin has gone from an unknown playing behind Dustin Scherer who is on scholarship now at Wisconsin to a top Quarterback in the state and getting noticed. I can tell from being a coach for 15 years and a father, that Coach Slack's program was the difference…

He finished, according to stat-go.com, 1st in the state of Indiana
in passing yards. He set 3 school records. 178 completions for the season
Coach Slack WILL Improve
Before attending Coach Slack's QB camp, I was a bit skeptical about bringing 4 of my QB's to a camp that didn't involve the option (or so I thought), as that is our primary offense. I took the advice of a dear friend and fellow coach that was hosting the camp and signed my kids up.
The camp was very intense, focusing not only on QB throwing mechanics, but every aspect of the game. He also spent a lot of time on the mental aspect of playing the toughest position on the field. The fundamentals taught by coach slack WILL improve your QB from the ground up.
On a personal note, As a former high school QB and college linebacker, I had a decent arm, but felt I was a better runner and defensive player. My throwing style was side-armed from baseball, and now, at age 27, after throwing about 10 balls my arm would fatigue to a point I couldn't grip a tennis ball and oftentimes would go numb (essentially I was throwing my arm out).
I attended Coach Slack's camp with my quarterbacks and participated in the camp training and drills myself so that I could understand where my QB's were making mistakes, and help them correct them over the course of the season.
Coach Slack fixed my mechanics and helped me find my arm again. I can consistently hit my mark and can throw a football 50 yards on a rope! I have no elbow pain of any kind, no numbness, and can throw a hundred balls a day and not feel any ill effects. I can now throw a football faster, harder, more accurately, and with a tighter spiral than I could at any point in my playing days.
As a head football coach I can honestly say that my QB's, and I, improved 10-fold, and this camp will be a primary reason for success in my first football season as a Head Football Coach. The funny thing about all this is I have taught several of my coaches and football buddies how to throw properly and they are amazed how easy it really can be to throw a good ball. Almost effortless.

Refreshing Air
After spending a lifetime coaching QB's, I am very happy to say you have taught this old dog some new tricks. Your video is outstanding and very professionally done! I will gladly support your theories as they make perfect sense to me!
I think the really good QB coaches out there will recognize immediately the value of your teaching! I'm very happy I decided to listen and not to be a fault finder, just because it is new. You as a person, and what you teach, have been a refreshing air in my life! I have spent a lifetime working to the best of my ability
to develop the complete QB. In all that time, I will tell you unequivocally, that what Darin Slack brings to the table is the ABSOLUTE CUTTING EDGE of a technical approach to throwing the football with accuracy, velocity and distance. It is not some hair brained, unsound teaching but rather an exciting new approach which is garnering fantastic results from not only the students he works with, but from coaches around the country.
I have absolutely been inspired by key points in his technique. He backs up what he teaches with sound physics principles. Is it "way to deep" for my QB's to make use of it? No way! He presents it in an intelligent, well-communicated manner that is easily understood by QB's of all ages. I have digested his tape forward and backward and it is excellent!!! I have no ulterior motive of any kind to endorse his methods, I am doing it because I really and truly believe that every QB coach in the country can benefit by it. I immediately went to work on several key points of his presentation upon finishing the video, with excellent results from my QB's.

"If you want to be a QB, this is the guy to learn from! The passing mechanics you will learn are simple to understand and easy to apply. He will teach you to throw a tight spiral in a window area which will make you more accurate than you have ever been, and you will do it with a quicker release than ever before! He will teach you toughness and leadership...Darin Slack's QB Academy is one of the most important camps you will ever attend."

None Compare
I have recently finished watching Darin Slack's QB Videos (Vols. #1 & #2, plus the "bonus video"). This series is the most complete video/DVD training tool for Quarterbacks that I have ever seen. Having worked with QB's since 1961 (44 years on the HS, College, & Pro level), I have probably seen just about every QB instructional tape released in the past 45 years, & none compare with Coach Slack's work. I highly recommend this to every QB Coach at every level!!!!!
BILL MOUNTJOY – Virginia
Topnotch Presentation
I ordered your new DVD(Volume 2) as soon as it was released. Let me tell you coach, I enjoyed the first one very much. Your approach and presentation was topnotch. You present yourself as an individual who is not only knowledgeable but also cares about getting help to those who look for it. I have to say that the level rose much higher with your new DVD. All I could say was WOW ! Coach Slack you improved on an already excellent product, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
JUAN SOLLA
Truly Amazing
Just received the new material Darin Slack has made for his QB Academy and the reviews are out: WOW! that is some good stuff! This is a must have for ANY SERIOUS football coach. The more times I watch the new Vol. 2 material, the more eager I become to start working with our QBs again. The detail and thought that goes into this system is truly amazing. Thanks Darin for such a wonderful product.
