Why QB Connections?

🏈 Why QB Connections?

QB Connections was created with three primary goals:

• To create valuable and vital connections between quarterbacks based upon our common experiences

• To drive health and wellbeing in quarterbacks, both current and former

• To support young quarterbacks in their life’s progressions

What challenges is QB Connections seeking to address?

• Older (former) quarterbacks often move on from the game and its natural camaraderie, and when “real life” sets in, we can become busy and disconnected. Evidence shows that our society actually has an epidemic of disconnection, and this leads to negative consequences of multiple forms.

• Overall, we as a society suffer from poor physical and mental health. This can be especially true of former athletes who lose the routine of team workouts and the support of their teammates, strength coaches, and athletic trainers.

• Young (current) quarterbacks need support with off-field progressions, especially when it comes time to transition to “real life” and their careers and vocations. Their needs are many, especially as it relates to building strong connections, networking, and telling their stories with conviction and confidence.

QB Connections aims to support quarterbacks, current and former, young and old, and to bring us together based upon the common histories and experiences we share.

What, exactly, do we share?

• Being a quarterback is a combination of reading situations, leading teammates while also relying almost entirely upon them, making decisions under pressure, accepting responsibility, watching your mistakes, and moving on to the next play. It’s almost never easy, and it’s never what it seems to the outside world. It’s hard, it’s stressful, and a strange existence in many ways.

But when the game ends, those skills and challenges can become your greatest advantage — if you know how to use them, and if you maximize the relationships you build along the way.

That’s what QB Connections is all about.
