Just dropped by the DSQA web site and the layout has changed.
What happened to the "virtual locker room" feature?
Also, I remember Coach Slack being involved with a software company in 2008 that released a program that was based on Madden/NCAA video game technology. Seemed like a pretty amazing program. I had the site bookmarked at one time. Can't remember the name of the product or company. Anyone out there remember? Coach Slack? What is up with this product? Anybody out there ever buy it?

I heard but not exactly sure.... You sign up and pay about $200. They send you a study guide thing and you study it. After you feel ready to take the test, they sign you up for a camp for you to coach at and they make you take a test online. After you pass the test, you are considered "Associate Certified". Then you have to pay your own way to camps to coach at. After you coach at 3 camps, then your graduate to a "C1" level and after that they pay for you to go to camps and such. That is what I heard but not quite sure. Maybe Coach Slack can fill us in on the exact details.

The ramp up was very encouraging, but the financing fell through and we weren't able to continue due to some unfortunate dealings behind the scenes. Sometimes business deals can leave you in a cold, dark place.
Since that debacle, I have made what I hope are some positive changes to what we are doing to ensure we are never in that situation again.
For the record, the 3d software was, and still is, a very good concept and a very functional software platform; albeit much reduced from what we originally were developing, but I am not involved with it any longer.
Mav is correct , I believe Apex is selling the reduced product as the licensed holder, and I believe it is still a great resource.
Certification layout was roughly correct as discussed above. The objective is to provide coaches a way to benefit from the process without having to pay exorbitant upfront fees for ongoing certification. The 3 camps is OTJ training for coaches in the model and there are some good extra income opps as well once they are on the certified side.
You can email us through the quarterbackacademy.com site for more information...we are fixing to kick off the new year next month.
