Jonathan D.

Two years experience at the NCAA Division II level, coaching QBs at Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, NC.
Five years experience coaching American Football in Europe (Italy and Austria), working with both QBs and WRs. Including two seasons in the Italian Football League as an offensive coordinator.
I've also worked many skills camps over the course of my career, working with all age groups and every skill position on the field.

College Experience:

I played two seasons as the starting quarterback for the Cal Poly Mustangs in the 2008 and 2007 seasons. In 2007, I was ranked 2nd in the NCAA (all divisions) in passer rating with a 196.7 rating. In 2008, I was able to lead the NCAA (all divisions) in passer rating with a 173 rating. I am a winner and a smart player, any coach that I've played for or against can attest to this. I led the Mustangs to our most successful season in 2008 beating the SDSU Aztecs and nearly beating the preseason ranked top 10 Div 1 FBS Wisconsin Badgers before losing in overtime by a third missed PAT.

2007 Stats:
1960 Pass Yds 29TD 5INT 783 Rush Yds 12 TD 196.7 QB Passer Rating
2008 Stats:

The following two seasons I played in a semi pro league in central California (LCFL) at the Quarterback and occasionally the WR position. Overall, I am a leader, maintaining a positive attitude on the field and off the field are keys to my success.

Sessions can include various mental and skills training.

I have developed programs that focus on position specific skills training that include: fundamentals, footwork, speed training, timing, and position specific drills (QB/WR/DB). QB specific drills that work on arm strength, accuracy, throwing motion, timing, hard count, play action fake, throwing on the run, and more. WR specific drills that improve stance/start, defeating press coverage, route mechanics, stemming routes, downfield balance, locating the QB, coming in and out of breaks, and more.

As well as programs that lean on the philosophy of football allowing athletes to "work smarter", which include: offensive philosophies (zone read, option attack, spread offense, west coast offense, and more), reading the defense (taking what the defense gives, anticipating breaks, understanding the audible process, stemming routes), and clock management.
