Real Reviews from Real Athletes

“Jax embarked on his quarterbacking journey under the guidance of Coach Franke (NXT LVL) during the latter part of second grade. Despite lacking prior experience in the position, his eagerness to learn propelled him forward. Initially, Jax could only manage throws of about 10 yards to a stationary receiver. However, with dedicated training, he swiftly mastered proper throwing techniques and footwork drills. By the time third-grade tackle football commenced, Jax was consistently completing passes and scoring touchdowns in every game, often connecting with players running distances of 10-15 yards.

“Transitioning to a 7v7 league after the conclusion of tackle season, Jax continued honing his skills under Coach Franke's tutelage. His rapid progression was evident, as he began throwing passes spanning 20-25 yards. Concurrently, his football IQ expanded significantly. Despite his young age, Jax delved into the nuances of pre-snap reads, discerning when to execute a 1 ball, 2 ball, or back-shoulder throw, mastering techniques such as looking off safeties, and maneuvering within the pocket.

“What sets Coach Franke's program apart is its no-nonsense approach and structured training regimen, utilizing every minute effectively. Their attention to detail is commendable, and they diligently work with each player to refine their skills. As a testament to their efficacy, my 64-pound third-grader can now accurately throw the ball 25 yards, a feat made possible by the collaborative efforts of Coach Franke and my son.

“For parents whose children harbor a passion for football, particularly in the quarterback position, I wholeheartedly endorse Coach Franke's program. His expertise and commitment to player development instill confidence and elevate skill levels. Similarly, for those inclined towards the wide receiver position, Coach Elia offers equally exceptional coaching. Rest assured, entrusting your child to their guidance will yield remarkable results.”

Cameron McCullogh (son Jaxon, 4th grade)

“Prior to starting training with Coach Franke, I frequently struggled with reverting to old, ineffective habits. However, under his guidance, I've experienced a significant improvement in both skills and fundamentals. The training environment strikes the perfect balance between being enjoyable and focused, making it an ideal setting to accomplish tasks while still having fun. The drills and concepts implemented by Coach Franke are incredibly effective in simulating real-game scenarios, enabling us to learn how to react appropriately. What sets Coach Franke apart is his deep understanding of the game, which he imparts to his students. Through his coaching, not only have I developed the necessary physical skills, but I've also sharpened my mental acuity, making it a highly recommended experience for anyone looking to enhance their football prowess.”

Noah Fuailetolo (State Champion QB, Desert Hills)

“I began my training journey with Coach Franke and Elia during my sophomore year, utterly clueless about defensive coverages and identifying them.  I was also incapable of throwing a ball beyond 30 yards accurately. Through dedicated training sessions and gaining a profound understanding of football and the intricacies of the quarterback position, my skills evolved, propelling me onto the varsity team as a sophomore. Each week, I eagerly anticipate our training sessions, relishing the opportunity to enhance my abilities and absorb new quarterback mechanics. Over time, I've mastered the art of timing with receivers and honed techniques to outmaneuver defenders through precise footwork and strategic eye movements.”

Gerritt Grondel (QB, Desert Hills)

“Since starting training with Coach Franke, my arm motion, mechanics, and accuracy have all significantly improved. What sets Coach Franke apart is his attention to detail in refining mechanics for optimal performance.

“During our sessions, Coach Franke emphasizes game-speed scenarios, aiding in on-field decision-making such as reading defenses and knowing when and where to throw the ball. This approach has been instrumental in my transition from a backup JV QB to a starting varsity QB.

“I highly recommend signing up with Coach Franke for anyone looking to elevate their game and reach their full potential.”

Wyatt Truman (QB Dixie High)

 “If you're seeking top-tier quarterback coaching in southern Utah you’ll find it with Coach Franke.  My son has been working with Coach for just over 3 years.  When it comes to throwing mechanics and the other technical facets of the position he’s more than competent.  More importantly, as a dad, I especially appreciate the life lessons (hard work, accountability, accepting feedback, to name a few)  he’s reinforced  in my son through the relationship they’ve developed over the years.   Coach Franke certainly has a gift of connecting with his athletes that fosters a trajectory  for confidence, learning and growth that will serve these young men not only as athletes but future husbands fathers and leaders.”
