About Us

I’m Coach D.B. Brooks, a former semi‑pro quarterback and skills coach with 20+ years of hands‑on football training experience, from youth beginners to serious college prospects.

I was a co‑founder of the Arizona Football Academy, one of the first true position‑specific training programs in the country, built to give QBs and skill players focused reps they can’t get in a crowded team practice.
Right out of high school, I launched my semi‑pro QB career with the Lancaster Crusaders in California, then continued with the Black Knights in the Arizona Football League and the Winterthur Warriors in Switzerland, where I also served as a QB and offensive coordinator.

Off the field, I’ve run sports programs for military bases, parks and recreation departments, and churches.
I’ve worked with the Arizona Cardinals, the Chicago Mayor’s Office, and the Super Bowl Host Committee to build events that give kids a big‑stage feel while keeping everything organized and professional.

Over time, that work has earned me 44 five‑star reviews and a #8 ranking for football coaches in Georgia via CoachUp.
