Why Choose Blair Quarterback Academy?
1. Quarterback Training Built for the Position
Blair Quarterback Academy specializes exclusively in quarterback development for athletes age 10 and up. Training goes beyond simply throwing a football. Quarterbacks must be able to move efficiently, understand defenses, process information, make decisions, and lead their teammates.
BQA training focuses on developing the complete quarterback through instruction in throwing mechanics, footwork, pocket movement, football IQ, defensive recognition, decision-making, leadership, and confidence.
Training is adapted to each quarterback's experience, ability, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Athletes can train through small groups of up to four quarterbacks or individual instruction, depending on what best fits their development.
2. A Proven Record of Developing Quarterbacks
Since its founding, Blair Quarterback Academy has worked with quarterbacks at the junior high, high school, college, and professional levels.
BQA has helped develop starting quarterbacks, multiple MVP quarterbacks, and the No. 1 overall pick in the SCFL Draft.
Throughout Coach Blair's coaching career, every varsity starting quarterback he coached earned all-conference recognition.
3. Nearly Two Decades of Coaching Experience
Coach Blair brings nearly two decades of football coaching experience to BQA. His coaching background includes youth, junior high, high school, and college football.
His experience includes coaching at a nationally ranked junior college program, being part of a state championship staff in Iowa, and working with one of Colorado's winningest football programs of the 2010s.
Coach Blair also interned with the Miami Dolphins, where he gained exposure to NFL-level coaching and had the opportunity to learn from respected coaches including Nick Saban, Jason Garrett, and Dan Quinn.
4. A Coach Who Knows How to Teach
Quarterback development isn't just about knowing football. A good coach has to be able to teach it.
Coach Blair combines nearly two decades of football coaching experience with years of classroom teaching experience at the elementary and junior high levels. That background has helped him develop the ability to break down complicated concepts and explain them in ways young athletes can understand.
At quarterback, understanding why something works is just as important as knowing what to do. BQA emphasizes teaching quarterbacks how to recognize defensive concepts, understand their reads, make decisions, and apply what they learn to actual game situations.
5. Training Designed Around Real Quarterback Development
BQA sessions are designed to provide quality repetitions, detailed instruction, meaningful competition, and realistic game situations.
One of the things we stress with our quarterbacks is preparing them for as many situations as possible before they ever encounter them in a game. Our goal is to expose quarterbacks to the reads, decisions, adjustments, and challenges they are likely to face on game day.
That means BQA sessions are challenging. Quarterbacks aren't simply going through the motions or throwing routes without purpose. We challenge them to think, react, make decisions, adjust, and execute under pressure.
Small-group training is limited to four quarterbacks, allowing athletes to receive individual coaching and feedback while also competing against other quarterbacks and experiencing more game-like situations.
Individual training is also available for quarterbacks who want more personalized attention. These sessions allow Coach Blair to focus specifically on an athlete's mechanics, weaknesses, position-specific development, or individual goals.
6. Experience at Multiple Levels of Football
One of BQA's biggest advantages is the perspective that comes from coaching across multiple levels of the game.
Coach Blair has worked with athletes from youth football through college and professional levels. That experience provides a broader understanding of what quarterbacks need to develop at each stage and what they will eventually be expected to do as the level of competition increases.
BQA's goal isn't simply to make a quarterback better at their next practice. It's to help build the foundation they need for the next level of football.
Why BQA?
Blair Quarterback Academy is built around one goal: developing better quarterbacks on and off the field.
With specialized quarterback instruction, nearly two decades of coaching experience, a teaching background, and both small-group and individual training options, BQA provides quarterbacks with the coaching, competition, knowledge, and confidence they need to continue developing.
Learn the position. Develop your game. Become a better quarterback.
