PARENT TESTIMONIAL
"Coach Sweetmon at the Omaha Quarterback Academy is a great coach and teacher of the game. My son has been taking QB training from him for several years, starting in 6th grade. Coach Sweetmon has a great approach with younger QBs, teaching mechanics and fundamentals, but also leadership and the mental aspects of the game. He really maximizes the time with him through fundamentals-based-warm-ups and then well designed drills that reinforce multiple concepts simultaneously. Working with him made my son a better youth QB, and he still works with him now that he's in high school."

PARENT TESTIMONIAL: "Omaha Quarterback Academy is the absolute best. Coach Sweetmon is great with my son and provides the perfect combination of teaching, coaching, pushing, and mentoring he needs. My son really looks forward to his weekly sessions at OQA because he always walks away having learned something new. At this point, we have spent over a year with Coach Sweetmon and the results speak for themselves. This past fall, my son showed up to his 5th/6th grade tackle football team, as a 5th grader, with aspirations of earning a spot as 1 of 2 QBs on the roster. By the first regular season game, he earned the starting spot because he was ready to play the position on Day 1. Coach Sweetmon gave him all of the fundamentals and, more importantly, the confidence to play the position. Highly recommend Coach Sweetmon! He's the best!" -Nicholas Zuck, father-
