- Arm and core strength
A quarterback needs to hone his shoulder strength, scapula stability, leg strength, and rotational core strength to improve velocity when throwing the ball at high speed. Do activities that enhance the strength of the arms, abs, obliques, hips, and glutes.2. Competitiveness
A good quarterback must be intensely competitive. A quarterback is considered the leader of the offense and the one who is commanding the team on the field. Every time there is a huddle, he has to show his good spirits and courageousness to other players to inspire them.
3. Mobility
The ability to avoid a pass rush or tackle is important thus overall mobility and agility can make a remarkable difference in the game. Training by jumping rope, quick footwork, and drills will improve foot speed.
