The current study is focused on the brief characteristics of American football and the position of quarterback. The authors analyse quarterback's activity during the game in 20 matches in three various competitions in the Czech Republic and in the U.S.A. The obtained data give the possibility to evaluate the quarterback's actions in particular downs and also show specific differences between the Czech and the American leagues. The authors also explain the basic rules of this sport and provide overall preview into the position of quarterback. They present a potential profile of the successful quarterback, his personality features, physical dispositions and way of winner's thinking.
