Excellent coach!!!

Amazing coach who helps with footwork, ball placement, accuracy, mechanics, and works to perfect your throw( how to set up, release, and feet placement)

Coach Gil is fantastic! He’s incredibly good with my son (10yrs old) incorporating a little humor into his intense workouts, making them both fun and effective. Coach Gil trains beyond just the position, but developing the overall athlete, pushing them to be strong, fast and to endure the pressures they can expect on game day. I HIGHLY recommend him!!

Gil has been wonderful so far. He works hard to improve my son's skills. He plans the sessions to the specific needs of my son. Gil also cares about the whole person not just the athlete part.

Gill was early and had numerous workout stations set up prior to our start time. His variety of footwork and agility drills was very impressive. Gill continues to email us with suggested workouts and additional drills to improve my sons strength and agility. My son enjoyed Gills positive attitude and method of coaching. I would highly recommend Gill and look forward to our upcoming sessions.

Coach Gill has tremendously helped my game at quarterback. With experience playing the position, as well as coaching it, it is obvious he knows the position, and how to play it well. He has tought me better footwork, as well as polishing up my motion. I would recommend coach Gill to any level quarterback, and at any place in your game.
