About:
One of the most decorated high school and collegiate athletes of all time, Chris Weinke became a legend in the state of Florida after helping lead Florida State University to its first undefeated season and second national championship in 1999.
Weinke went on to win several major awards in 2000, including the Heisman Trophy, while finishing his career with a 32-3 record and as the FSU record-holder for career passing yards and career touchdown passes.
After a pro career that included a trip to the Super Bowl while with the Carolina Panthers, Weinke has rededicated his career to coaching youth football players the correct fundamentals and technique in an era in which many say proper mechanics have mostly disappeared. Using his knowledge from an extensive playing career that included being led by some of the game’s most respected collegiate and pro coaches, Weinke has the understanding and passion for how to help develop successful football players.
