    TESTIMONIALS

    “Mark has helped Gabe improve on all of his mechanics – his foot speed, drop back, movement in and out of the pocket, proper handoffs/making great fakes, reading defenses and overall has taught Gabe is the special things it takes to be a quarterback – being a leader, doing the right things on and off the field. Mark has a passion for teaching the art of being a quarterback”

    Gil Hernandez – Father of Gabe Hernadez - Gannon University.

    "In working with my son Nick, Mark has been able to focus on the critical Mechanics of throwing a football (both upper body / lower body positioning and footwork). He is able to identify those little things that can make a good throw - great. Mark's patience and ability to explain clearly to the boys is invaluable, it is an area that coaches are often weak in, they forget that they need to teach. From what I have seen, Mark can improve a QB's skills at any level, we have already seen the positive results."

    Neal Abramsom, Father of Nick “Sonny” Abramsom I Age:11 I Chester Tri-Boro Bears

    "My son really enjoys working with Coach Cummings and the Training program for quarterbacks he instructs. Every minute is packed with drills and skills. In general, I have seen improvements in all of Mike’s techniques, including arm strength. Most importantly, Coach Cummings has worked with him on his temperament and how to develop my son’s mental awareness and attitude under pressure – one of the most important aspects of any quarterback."
