While the event centers on quarterbacks, Weaver brings a defensive and leadership perspective that translates across position rooms, staffs, and every level of the game. The discussion centers on transparent teaching, building player-led environments, staying steady through adversity, and simplifying without losing effectiveness. Coach Weaver explains why great coaching isn’t about chasing trends or quick answers, but about developing people, setting clear standards, and earning trust over time. He reflects on the experiences that shaped his journey, the value of authenticity, and how consistency in teaching and values helps teams hold up under pressure.
