Real messages from the parents of quarterbacks I've worked with.

I played quarterback at the Division I level, so I understand how important proper development is early on. I also come from an executive background in tech where preparation, leadership, and decision-making matter. I evaluated Reid through that same lens before we started working together. After doing my research, it was clear he brings a rare combination of high-level playing experience and the ability to mentor in a way that translates. He himself wasn't a 5-star recruit so he knows how to connect with kids that are talented but still have to prove themselves. The transformation in my son has exceeded expectations. His mechanics improved quickly, but even more impressive has been his confidence and presence. This has been one of the best investments we've made in our son's development.

My son, Ryan, has been a starter on varsity since his freshmen year. He met Reid during his sophomore year of high school. What he needed wasn't someone to build him from scratch. He needed someone invested in him as a person. The mechanical work has been very valuable. However, what stood out is how Reid prepared Ryan for the big moments. Going into Elite 11 Finals, they visualized the first night before Ryan ever stepped onto the field. He went out and performed exactly like they'd prepared for. Ryan came in ranked lower than most of the guys there. He competed against the best quarterbacks in the country, and made the Elite 11 as one of the top 11 in the nation. Reid didn't need to make a big production of his involvement. Ryan knew he had someone in his corner who understood what the moment required. For a parent who has tried hard not to over coach his own son, watching someone else pour into him, and watching Ryan respond to it, has been magical. I highly recommend considering Reid for any parent who wants a holistic approach to playing the QB position.

I can't thank Coach Reid enough for the incredible impact he's had on my son Dominick's development as a quarterback. Being from out-of-state, we haven't had the opportunity to have many field sessions. However, we have been able to take advantage of his incredible knowledge of the game from a classroom standpoint. He has helped Dominick with reading defenses and making quick decisions, and refined every aspect of his game. His personalized coaching style and attention to detail has pushed him to be better every single day. Coach Reid creates an environment where hard work is met with constructive feedback and consistent progress. He helps him identify coverages like it's a game situation. He's always there for recruitment support and insight on how to get recognized by schools all over the country. If you want to take your game to the next level, I highly recommend working with Coach Reid. He's the real deal. Thank you Coach!

Rising Tide and Coach Reid does an excellent job of coaching all facets of being a quarterback. It is awesome to have someone coaching of such high caliber, high character, great experience, and ability to relate to my son. Reid teaches a strong understanding of "Football IQ", considering offensive schemes, defensive looks, etc. He focuses on the ability to read the field, finding receivers and making good decisions. My son is getting professional coaching on mechanics of arm throwing, body positioning, footwork, etc. This then transitions to accuracy, arm strength and ball positioning for good decisions. They also work on mobility and athleticism. Coach Reid also takes into account my son's current HS coach's offensive scheme, and can help tailor work to this offense and also help on the IQ level. Importantly, Reid also works with my son on the mental aspects of the game and helping build confidence, communication skills, maturity, and leadership skills. As a dad, I'm so proud to have Reid in my son's life, not only as a coach, but most importantly, as a life skills mentor.

My Story

From a one-year
starter to the NFL

I was never the highly-recruited prospect. I earned everything through hard work and dedication, and now I teach quarterbacks to do the same.

Reid Sinnett in high school

One-Year Starter in High School

I had just a single season as a starting quarterback in high school, overlooked, with limited film and no clear path to the next level.

Reid Sinnett in college

One-Year Starter in College

I fought my way into a starting role for one season in college, proving that the right strategy beats the recruiting hype.

Reid Sinnett in the NFL

4+ Years in the NFL

I spent 4+ years in the NFL, sharing quarterback rooms with the best in the game: Tom Brady, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Joe Burrow.

Now I've built Rising Tide to help high school quarterbacks get ready to play at the college level, with the exact playbook I wish I'd had.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens on the 1:1 Evaluation Session? ›
The Rising Tide team will go over your film with you and ask you questions to get a real feel for where you're at as a QB and what it'll take to play at the collegiate level. No matter what, you'll walk away with a clear plan for your development, whether you join the program or not.
What exactly is the Customized Training Plan? ›
It starts with a 1-on-1 evaluation with Reid. Then he builds your plan for training, nutrition, film study and the mental game, based on what he learned as a quarterback in the NFL and what you need to work on, with weekly 1-on-1 calls with Reid. Not everyone who applies is accepted.
What does "Play & Prepare for the Collegiate Level" mean? ›
The jump to college football is big: the game is faster, defenses are more complex, and coaches expect quarterbacks to show up ready. Your plan trains what matters at that level, like reading coverages, making decisions under pressure, the mental game, and the habits college coaches look for, so you're prepared when you get there.
How do you determine who qualifies? ›
The team looks at your film, physical ability, football IQ and goals, along with a few other things, to make sure the program is the right fit. Not every QB who applies ends up qualifying.
I'm from a small town, can you still help me? ›
Yes. The whole program runs virtually, so location isn't a barrier to training with Reid and the Rising Tide team directly.
I'm a senior, am I too late to qualify? ›
Not at all. College football is right around the corner, so getting prepared now matters more, not less. The team will give you a straight answer on where you stand and what to focus on before you get to the next level.
I'm not on varsity yet, am I too early to qualify? ›
Not at all. Starting before you're on varsity gives you a head start, and your plan is built around where you are right now. Getting into a program like this early will accelerate your progress as a QB.
How much does this cost? ›
The Customized Training Plan is $2,000 (USD). Families who enroll within 48 hours of receiving their personal offer link get a $500 scholarship, bringing it to $1,500. You can pay in full by card, or pay over time with Affirm or Klarna, subject to their approval.
Why do you do this? ›
I was a one year starter in high school with zero scholarship offers. My parents paid for recruiting services that did nothing. It took me years to figure out what it actually takes to play quarterback at the next level, and I built this because I want QBs and their families to have someone in their corner who's actually been through this process.
