Northstar Athletic Development is a premier athlete training program committed to building elite-level performers through structured development, competition, and mentorship. Founded by Coach Chris Hardwick, Northstar was created to raise the bar in how athletes train — not just physically, but mentally and tactically.

While we serve athletes across multiple disciplines, our primary focus is football development. Through Northstar Football, we specialize in position-specific training for quarterbacks, wide receivers, running backs, defensive backs, linebackers, and both offensive and defensive linemen — with an emphasis on athletic performance and football IQ.

What sets us apart? At Northstar, we are football technicians. We don’t just run drills — we teach the game. Our sessions are rooted in film-level detail, real-time corrections, and an in-depth focus on positional mastery. We cover speed, agility, and conditioning, but above all, we emphasize the X’s and O’s — the schemes, systems, and situational football that make great players elite.

We coach all three phases of the game: offense, defense, and special teams. And we mentor athletes to become more than just players — we develop students of the game, leaders on and off the field, and young men of discipline, accountability, and confidence.

Whether in 1-on-1 sessions or showcase events, our mission is simple: to provide every athlete with the tools, teaching, and mentality to rise like the Northstar.
