Meet Coach Cole LaCrue
Former D1 quarterback bringing elite training methods to Charleston, Illinois
My Story
I'm Cole LaCrue, a former quarterback at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and current quarterback for the Eastern Illinois Panthers. My journey in football has taken me from high school fields to BIG 10/SEC stadiums, and now I'm bringing that experience back to School to train the next generation of athletes in Charleston, Illinois.
Throughout my career, I've learned that becoming an elite quarterback isn't just about arm strength—it's about mastering mechanics, developing football IQ, building mental toughness, and cultivating leadership skills. These are the principles I bring to every training session.
My training philosophy is simple: work hard, stay disciplined, and fall in love with the process. Whether you're a youth player learning fundamentals or a high school athlete preparing for the next level, I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential.
With proven athleticism (21 MPH top speed) and years of experience at the highest levels of college football, I understand what it takes to succeed. More importantly, I know how to teach it. Book a session to get started.
