Quarterback Equalizer App Receives $100k in Funding

A state-of-the-art app-based training game for quarterbacks and coaches is proving more essential than ever during COVID-19 for football training and accuracy. The app, developed by former NFL Coach and Co-Founder of The Equalizer Games, LLC, John Tomlinson, received a $100K investment by ArlanWasHere Investments to further develop the concept for global consumption.

“I grew up in Dallas, so I know how important school sports are to Texans,” said Arlan Hamilton, Founder and Managing Partner of Backstage Capital. “It’s a great place for a product like this to be born and nurtured. I’m interested to see what Equalizer Games can do to boost the skills and morale of students around the country. I know how much football has positively impacted the lives of my nephews, and hopefully nieces one day. Equalizer can give coaches and athletes a certain edge, while teaching them soft skills as well – like manners, sportsmanship and critical thinking.”

The Quarterback Equalizer aids quarterbacks by improving their ability to read defensive coverages, make quicker game-winning decisions, improve passing accuracy, and to execute the offensive concept faster and more successfully. The Quarterback Equalizer is the first in a series of mobile and online cognitive games to be released by Equalizer Games over the course of time. Currently, Offensive Coordinators and Coaches around the country are utilizing The Quarterback Equalizer spanning Texas to North Carolina to Virginia, Louisiana, Maryland and more.

“The Quarterback Equalizer is an e-learning platform that uses gamification to solidify the user’s understanding of their position,” said Tomlinson. “We provide a Virtual Coach in the platform that takes the player in a classroom and teaches the user how to identify defensive pass coverages and how to attack the defense. We then take what the user learns in the classroom and track their performance in an interactive game. We work to train the eyes and understand defensive movement – building eye discipline.”

With the $100K investment, Equalizer Games intends to further develop its revolutionary technology and build a full suite of tools to accelerate the learning of student athletes – making them more productive, safer and more prepared before they get in the classroom with their coach during the season.

 The Quarterback Equalizer is available for free download on both Google Play and at the Apple Store in the Sports category.
