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.

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.

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 where you stand in the recruiting process. No matter what, you'll walk away with a step by step plan to get a college offer, whether you join the program or not.
What exactly is the Next Level QB Program? ›
It's a 6 week program built around the mental and recruiting side of the game, the stuff that actually separates guys who get offers from guys who don't. You'll learn how to read defenses, build your recruiting profile the right way and develop the habits college coaches care about. Not everyone who applies is accepted, spots are limited to 12 QBs per cohort.
What does "Get a College Offer or You Don't Pay" mean? ›
On the call, the Rising Tide team will tell you if you qualify for the guarantee. If you qualify, go through the program, and don't receive a college offer within the next 12 months you get your money back.

Disclaimer: A college offer is not a scholarship. A scholarship means you receive partial or full financial aid, which is not guaranteed for any player who goes through the program.
How do you determine who qualifies? ›
The team looks at your physical ability, football IQ, and where you're at in the recruiting process, along with a few other things, to determine if you qualify for the guarantee. Not every QB who applies ends up qualifying.
What if I don't qualify for the guarantee? ›
You may still qualify to go through the program. Plenty of players who don't qualify for the guarantee still get great results.
I'm from a small town, can you still help me? ›
Yes. The whole program runs virtually, so location isn't a barrier to working with the Rising Tide team directly. This matters even more if you're in a smaller market, since we teach exactly how to get seen by coaches who aren't already scouting your area.
I'm a senior, am I too late to qualify? ›
Not at all, you have limited time left to actually earn your offer so getting evaluated now matters more, not less. The team will give you a straight answer on where you stand and exactly what it'll take for you to get an offer.
I'm not on varsity yet, am I too early to qualify? ›
You're less likely to qualify for the guarantee this early, since there's less film to evaluate. But getting into a program like this before you're on varsity will accelerate your progress as a QB.
How much does this cost? ›
That depends on whether you qualify for the guarantee or not. Either way, the Rising Tide team offers flexible payment options to make it work for you and your family.
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 actually gets a QB recruited and I built this because I want QBs and their families to have someone in their corner who's actually been through this process.
