So I will be bringing my incoming freshman son to a Darin Slack QB camp this week. I was wondering if anyone has thoughts or suggestions to share.
How much of the camp will I be able to see, or listen in on. I'd like to be able to re-enforce it all when we get home.

Darin's camps are outstanding, you've found the best, in my opinion.
I will ask the tough question first, are you a football coach/father or only his father?
If you are a father, keep your distance and let some of the best QB coaches around work with your son.
If you are a coach and treat this experience as a coach, it should not be an issue.
I will say as a coach, they have been very gracious in the past to allow me to stand side by side with my QB during the teaching.
If you want truthful advice, you have two ears and one mouth. The more you say, the more mixed signals your son will get. Listen to everything they say, don't get involved with the coaching during the camp (especially if you are not familiar with Slack C4 Mechanics).
The bottom line is that you should listen, listen, listen, and take notes in between sessions as well. Stay out of the way, but soak up everything you can.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am a coach and his father however I have not coached him in over 2 seasons. I have been coaching defense for my younger sons team. I realized a while back they get to a point were they listen better to someone else. Especially if they have more to offer.

Ok, I'm in Cleveland...have a great time! Oh that's too bad. I didn't realize you didn't attend each camp. From what I've seen you are so motivating I really wanted my son to hear you speak. I'm sure your staff will be just as positive. |
