Golden Arm Development: A 5A QB Drill for Bishop Carroll Golden Eagles
📍 Bishop Carroll Golden Eagles·Friday, July 3, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Bishop Carroll Golden Eagles are gearing up for another 5A season, and quarterback development is key. To improve arm strength and accuracy, Coach Thompson recommends the 'Around the World' drill. Divide the quarterbacks into pairs, with one player throwing from a stationary position and the other receiving. Start with 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on short to intermediate distances. As players progress, increase the distance and add a defender to simulate game pressure. Coaching cues include: 'Step into the throw,' 'Follow through with your eyes,' and 'Release the ball with confidence.' This drill translates to game performance by enhancing QBs' ability to deliver accurate passes under duress, a crucial skill in 5A competition.
