Jim Overmier

Jim Overmier, a native of Annapolis, Maryland, has been around football for more than forty years as a player, coach, and, of course, a spectator. A former junior college quarterback, he began coaching high school football in 1996. In 2003, he launched Jim Overmier’s Quarterback Academy, a private quarterback training program for student-athletes who aspired to play the position at the collegiate level. In addition to working with boys on the high school practice field during the afternoon, Jim spent several seasons also coaching his own son's youth league teams later in the evening. It made for an exhausting day of football!

He continued to coach high school football until 2013, at both public and private schools, with the exception of one year. In 2007, he ventured into coaching collegiate football when he accepted the position of Quarterbacks Coach on the staff at Gallaudet University.

Jim retired from the sidelines following the 2012/2013 season at Severna Park High School in Severna Park, Maryland. Afterward, he decided to write about what he considers to be his most unique coaching experience: the 2007 season at Gallaudet University.
