01 · Craft
On-field work under pressure.
Private QB training, vetted coaching, live throws, and situational reps sharpen the details that travel on Saturdays and Sundays.
The First Annual · By Invitation Only · 2026
The QB Retreat built for the next one.
Two days. Field first. Classroom next. One cohort of 20 quarterbacks steps into a fully underwritten program built by Athletes in Control and J.P. Morgan Private Bank to establish early awareness of the financial, mental, and career landscape before the first contract arrives.

Your Host — Jayden Daniels
“The game will test you on Sunday. Life tests you every other day. This retreat is what I wish I had when I was seventeen.”
Jayden Daniels anchors the full experience. He opens Day 1 on the field, where work comes first and the standard stays high. The instruction is private, direct, and built around the details that separate projection from progress.
He returns on Day 2 to close the classroom side of the program with the Life Balance session. That finish matters. It ties performance to identity, recovery, decision-making, and the habits that can protect a twenty-year career long before the first deal is signed.
The Why
“Greatness is not given. It's built decision by decision.”
The Why
Talent gets you drafted. Foundations keep you standing.
78%
Financial-distress awareness gap
Too many athletes meet the financial, mental, and career realities of the game after the stakes rise. The problem is not talent. The problem is timing. Awareness and support arrive late. The QB Retreat exists to move that education earlier, when better decisions can still shape the full arc.
Over two days, 20 young quarterbacks step into a structure that matches the real demands of the position. Day 1 puts the work on the field. Day 2 brings the classroom into focus with financial literacy fundamentals, Contracts 101, media and brand stewardship, and a closing Life Balance session that frames the twenty-year career.
Each quarterback is paired 1:1 with a J.P. Morgan Private Bank advisor and an AiC strategist. Then the work continues with 12 months of AiC mentorship and ongoing J.P. Morgan advisor access. This is not a camp. This is the foundation.
The Four Pillars
Built across four disciplines.
02 · Capital
Money mechanics with range.
J.P. Morgan Private Bank leads the fundamentals: balance sheet discipline, taxes, NIL structures, and the habits that protect optionality.
03 · Character
Your name is part of the work.
Media, brand, and the public record shape opportunity. The athlete stays the protagonist. The standard stays visible.
04 · Clarity
Mental performance and life balance.
Recovery, identity, and perspective keep performance from becoming the only language in the room. The long game starts now.
The Agenda
Two days. Two environments. One standard.
Day 1 — May 29
On the Field (Private Training)
Jayden leads. Work comes first.
- Arrivals, gear issue, breakfast with Jayden and AiC football staff
- Private QB training block — footwork, progressions, pocket mechanics
- Live throws with vetted coaches and top HS/college receivers
- Lunch + film review led by Jayden
- Competition period — situational reps, two-minute, red zone
- Cohort dinner at J.P. Morgan private campus — introductions, recovery
Day 2 — May 30
In the Classroom (Education & Life Balance)
Day 2 ends with the Life Balance session — that close is the emotional anchor of the whole program.
- Breakfast with J.P. Morgan Private Bank advisors
- Financial literacy fundamentals — balance sheet, taxes, NIL structures
- Contracts 101 — NIL, rookie deals, and the fine print that matters
- Family lunch — parents and guardians join the cohort
- Media, brand, and the public record — owning the long game
- Life Balance session with Jayden — identity, recovery, the twenty-year career
- Closing dinner + 12-month mentorship activation
Each quarterback leaves with a paired support structure: one J.P. Morgan Private Bank advisor, one AiC strategist, and a 12-month follow-on path already in motion.

The Standard
Every detail keeps the class tight and the support real.
Small enough for signal.
The inaugural class stays selective by design. Every seat gets attention. Every rep matters.
Two environments. One build.
Day 1 handles the work. Day 2 handles the context around the work. Both belong together.
Support gets personal fast.
Each quarterback is paired with a J.P. Morgan Private Bank advisor and an AiC strategist.
Fully underwritten.
The barrier is not financial. The standard is commitment, trajectory, and readiness to build early.
The work continues after New York.
AiC mentorship extends for 12 months, with continued J.P. Morgan advisor access beyond the event itself.
The class should compound.
The goal is long-term peer value, not a weekend memory. This cohort becomes the first layer of that network.
Who It's For
Built for young quarterbacks — early enough to matter.
The first annual class holds 20 seats. The audience is young QBs currently in high school or college — any class. This is not invite-only to elites-by-ranking. The lens is trajectory, work ethic, and the value of early awareness before the game and the business around it speed up.
Eligibility
- Current HS QB (any class) or current college QB
- Verified academic standing and school endorsement
- NCAA and state NIL compliance
- Parent/guardian attends Day 2
- 12-month mentorship commitment
