Peak Academy is elite football training geared toward skill position athletes. Our specialty is Quarterbacks, however we have extensive knowledge of all skill position mechanics. I am Josh Thompson and I was a Quarterback at Tazewell High for two years as a starter, but played the position from 6th grade on. After my senior year I followed my dream and went to play football at The University of Te
nnessee. I was a walk-on quarterback at UT from 2002-2005. While in the quarterback and offensive meeting rooms of a top ranked offense, not only in the SEC but the country, I was exposed to a wealth of knowledge. Once I was done in the meeting rooms I worked for the better part of two years in the UT football recruiting office. There I evaluated talent on unsolicited film of recruits, reported to the coaching staff on the potential recruits, and helped with recruiting the potential student athletes. I have extensive knowledge of the recruiting process and have contacts that help me keep up with the ever changing NCAA regulations on recruiting. Since returning to Tazewell I have coached for a total of 5 years. In those five I have coached three quarterbacks. All three quarterbacks have produced record type numbers and generated numerous district/conference and state awards as well as records. One of the years I coached wide receivers and I had an all distric, all region and all state receiver that recorded a 389 yard 4 TD game against an eventual state champion in Virginia. I feel as though my calling is to mentor young athletes searching to better themselves both on and off the field. I want student athletes to understand the game, better their mechanics, and know what it takes to follow their dreams.
