It's that time of year for aspiring college level athletes looking to improve their craft. The 2014 high school football season is in the rear view mirror and the all-star bowl games have run their course. For exceptional athletes like Oregon commit Travis Waller, National Signing Day marks the next step on the athletic journey.

Quarterbacks like Waller aren't born overnight. Hard work, dedication and the relentless pursuit of greatness pave the way to success. Quarterbacks serious about reaching the ultimate destination should seek out expert coaching with Steve Clarkson.

Day One at quarterback guru Steve Clarkson's 2014 Field Generals LA camp at Maranatha High featured many talented quarterbacks working to improve their craft.

Local standouts in attendance included Hart's Brady White, Servite's Travis Waller and Santa Margarita's KJ Costello. Foothill gun-slinger Kyle Kearns from NorCal looked sharp and should be a force on the upcoming 7v7 circuit.

Now that the high school football season is in the books, aspiring college level athletes have the opportunity to hone their skills outside the school setting. No position requires more dedication, training and development than quarterback.

Many of the top local quarterbacks and gun-slingers representing 20 states will receive expert tutelage at quarterback guru Steve Clarkson's 2014 Field General Quarterback Camp this weekend. 90 of the most talented young arms in the nation will get to measure their skills against premier competition at this sold-out event.
