Equalizer Games’ Quarterback Equalizer Training App is Now Available
DALLAS – June 19, 2019 – Dallas-based Equalizer Games LLC launches its first app this week. The Quarterback Equalizer is designed to teach football players, specifically quarterbacks, their position in a fun and cognitive way. By using the mobile and online gaming app, players can transfer what they learn to the field.
“The Quarterback Equalizer is a game that addresses the need of fulfilling the off-field learning curve,” said Kathy Tomlinson, president of Equalizer Games LLC. “My husband and business partner, John, has spent more than 24 years as a football coach. In that time, he has seen the troubles that quarterbacks go through when juggling game plans, defensive pressures, and the speed of the game, all while trying to prepare for an opponent. The Quarterback Equalizer was created to equip and enforce what a quarterback should demonstrate each time they drop back to pass.”
Tomlinson took her husband’s passion for football and his drive to educate and created a business around it. Since its inception in 2014, Equalizer Games has been singularly focused on the development of the Quarterback Equalizer app. The app is the first in a series of games to be created by Equalizer Games LLC to help users better understand the nuances of football so that they can successfully execute offensive concepts with efficiency.
The Quarterback Equalizer aids quarterbacks – from neighborhood teams and schools to collegiate and professional levels – better understand how to dissect an opponent’s defensive coverage. The Quarterback Equalizer is designed to train the quarterback’s eyes to know what to look for quickly in defensive behavior and to better execute plays. The app can be played on smartphones and tablets.
“We focused on the quarterback because that position requires a great deal of preparation and detail on a weekly basis,” said Tomlinson. “Many quarterbacks do not fully develop their skill set until their collegiate years. The Quarterback Equalizer can change that by providing additional training off the field that will enrich their abilities on the field.”
“The idea for the app came in 2007 when I was coaching a young, gifted quarterback,” said John Tomlinson, CEO for Equalizer Games LLC. “I wanted to pour into this talented guy by making sure he understood the nuances of defenses so he could flourish with his physical skill set on the field. From that experience, we set out to create a game that helps a quarterback by reducing the level of complexity in understanding what defenses do when trying to confuse quarterbacks,”
“While football is a male-dominated sport, this app allows everyone to hit the turf as a quarterback,” said Kathy Tomlinson. “The focus of the game is primarily educational, but it does offer an entertainment component as well. Players will easily get drawn into the aesthetics of the app, from the crowd sounds and the appearance of the stadium to selecting your team and helmets. It is a great sensory experience.”
The Quarterback Equalizer is a must-have game for quarterbacks, coaches, avid football fans and sports broadcasters who want to better understand what defenses are doing during the course of a game. It is available in the App Store and on Google Play. With the launch of the Quarterback Equalizer, Equalizer Games will launch a revised Kickstarter campaign.
