My goal with every QB I’ve ever coached is that they’ll know that I poured everything into them, kept it 100, pushed them hard & loved them. As they move on in their journey of life, I hope that they take the same approach in life & pay it forward.
Young QBs when you’re not taking a live rep its not time to chat up your teammates & catch up socially
Take mental reps in the back ground….it’s called “Stealing a Rep” go through the drop and the mental progression

CHEEHOO‼️
Congrats

The fire 🔥 to play QB was inspired by this OG who I get to call Uncle
For all those who have heard me speak about my favorite QB, this is him:
Jack “The Throw’n Samoan” Thompson

If you’re a father coach/trainer who coaches/trains their own kid, remember all we can do is guide, advise & pour into them
As a father watching my son live out his dream, doing what he loves on his own terms is priceless. Anything beyond this is a bonus!
We stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. Always remember your culture and where you come from. Sharing our Samoan heritage

If you’re the back up, instead of being bitter, be ready, be a great teammate. Your number has been called! Go get’m Jalen. These 2 QBs show how you can co-exists & both be studs.

Young QBs: It only takes one school to believe in you. If you don’t get offered today, don’t give up. Lean on the process you fell in love with and continue to work.
All these 7v7 HL of QB’s taking 3 step drops from the QB Tee and hitch’n 2-3 times before each pass is not helping you get better
Take a real 5 step drop, you’re only hurting your development
7v7 has a place but if used wrong it will set you back
Way too many 7v7 QBs:
▫️not taking real drops
▫️hitching all the way up to LOS
▫️roll outs on the LOS
▫️progressions aren’t side to side to side, back & forth
7v7 for QBs is a great way to get better when done correctly. If not, you’re wasting your time!
LFG‼️ Congrats
@LIU_QB
I am so proud of you Son. I know this day couldn’t have come any faster. Soak it up boy because you deserve it. You’re ready for this, now go kill it when you step on campus in January
Fa’afetai le fa’aea
Sa le fo’i! O ou mama ga!
If a Coach has to call out your so called starting QB for slacking, talking back and for being a poor example of leadership:
1) He really shouldn’t be labled a starter
2) You as a coach don’t know how to evaluate QBs
3) Your program is in trouble next fall
Playing QB is not a popularity contest. Its the toughest position to play On & Off the field.
✅ Keep your circle small
✅ Keep your focus on the controllable
✅ Ignore the NOISE‼️

Proud Dad moment! Witnessed
@LIU_QB
w/ the game winning drive of 70+ yds while down 1 point w/ under 2 mins. A result of his unwavering confidence in himself & his teammates. The kid has Ice 🥶 in his veins & no moment is too big for him.

Happy Birthday

Understand that the majority of your friends won’t know why you choose to sacrifice & grind. Your circle must only compose of those who will lift you up & know your why. It won’t be easy to cut these people out, but is necessary to reach your goals
Congratulations
@LIU_QB
Can’t say enough about this kid besides that he makes being a father easy. Keep doing the work & stay true to your process. I am so proud of you
Love you Son!

a once in a lifetime experience. Top ranked players return to the mainland still throwing the Shaka 🤙🏾
Sadly, we don’t always know the depths of someone’s depression until it is too late. Holidays aren’t easy for everyone, especially in 2020. May I please have even 1 follower copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is listening.
#MentalHealthMatters
QBs don’t want that 7v7 best label. The only thing that matters is what happens in the Fall.
No-No’s from 7v7:
3 step drops & hitch way up to QB Tee
No drops
Drops not tied to route combinations
No real progressions
#NoQBDevelopement
Anyone can Youtube drills, do you really understand and know the true Physical mechanics of throwing the football & proper sequencing? How to correct? Do you teach the why, then and how?
Beware of the snake oil salesman...lol
Always paying it forward at Shriners Hospitals for Children. Instead of spending time on the beach they made the decision to give back.
@polynesiabowl
@QInfluence
Always teach my QBs the value in REAL genuine relationships when it comes to recruiting is built on being real. If the schools don’t see the value, keep it moving. Don’t waste time on the fake ones. You only need that one‼️
#keepitreal
As a QB trainer it is always fulfilling to see your guys go off to college and play on Saturdays. Tonight it hit a little different because the college QB I was watching take snaps tonight was my Son
@LIU_QB
No time to over react and panic. The culture built is very strong. Trust the process and know that you are and will always be part of the Brotherhood. Out going Sr’s have definitely left Military Rd better. Fa’afetai tele

We never forget our heritage. We are here because our forefathers decided to take the brave challenge of voyaging the Pacific Ocean in search of a brighter future. Don’t be afraid to be a trailblazer

QB Parents 🚨
Plz take the time to be in the moment and be present w/ your QB. Soak up everything & don’t glaze past it looking for the next training, camp, game, team or visit. Appreciate it for the blessing it is, before it comes to an end
#QBInfluence
This is when the specialist on our Team Mauka “SHUT IT DOWN‼️”
The Haka is only one of the many things they learned about our Polynesian Culture. Sharing our Culture through football
Be greatful for what is on your plate
Stop looking at what is on other peoples plates
If you’re a real dude, you will always come to the table with enough to break bread with everyone.

The key to this dime 🎯🎯is the ability to layer the ball over 2nd level defenders. Subtle climb into the pocket & use of the eyes to make room for the backside route in the red zone is high level QB’ing

Advice to parents who are taking their kids to college camps this summer:
⛔️Step Back
⛔️Have a seat
⛔️Take a deep breath
⛔️Let him do his thing
He will do fine, if he put in the lonely work in the winter & spring
Kicked Off the
@Elite11
circuit today in LA. So many talented QBs from CA, UT, AZ, NV. It’s so awesome when the alumni return to share their story
@NickStarkel
🤙🏽
QBs need to use 7v7 properly to grow & learn from it:
🔺take proper drops that tie up w/ route concept
🔺stop hitching up & throwing on LOS/QB Tee
🔺keep pocket integrity, don’t hitch over to the Tackle & throw (no pass rush)
QB Tip🚨
Practice taking snaps from under center, taking 3/5/7 step drops & play action. It’s important to be a well rounded QB. Best believe when you see me at various camps across the nation this off season, I’m putting you under center.

Our culture will always be on the forefront of everything we do in this lifetime & the next. When your auntie’s say you’re gonna do a siva, “Yes Maam” is the only option 😂
