Throughout his gridiron career, Philip Charpentier has built up a resume loaded with experience.

Among the teams he has suited up for include Gatineau Vikings, Ottawa Myers Riders of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL) and RSEQ Juvenile Division 2Bā€™s Arsenal Nouvelle ā€“Frontieres.

During his journey, Charpentier has savoured the opportunity of assuming a leadership role via the pivot position.

ā€œI play quarterback because I like what the position involves: being the leader of the offence, having to know what everybody needs to do and things like that,ā€ elaborated Charpentier, who will be beginning a stint with CEGEP Division 3 team Lanaudiere Triades this upcomng fall. ā€œIt’s also a challenge because you have lots of pressure on game days and you need to put up a show.ā€

While it is not lost on him the tremendous responsibility that comes with the role, he is a humble quarterback.

ā€œI’m not the type of guy that will be on the field and having an attitude; I play with respect because I respect the game and I want it to be as best as possible,ā€ explained Charpentier. Ā ā€œI also never brag about myself when questioned about my football abilities.ā€

Moreover, Charpentier is relentless when it comes to honing his skills with the ultimate goal of achieving success on the gridiron.

ā€œI work extremely hard on and off the field,ā€ added the pivot.Ā  ā€œIn the gym or on the gridiron, I go full out to be in the best position possible the help the team to win.ā€

Charpentier has modelled his playing style two NFL pivots ā€“ Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers) and Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers).

ā€œAaron is the type of guy that is so close to being perfect and he has that desire to make his team win,ā€ expressed the Gatineau pivot.Ā  ā€œNewton is just amazing; I just like him in general.ā€

Next month, Charpentier will be taking part in the QB Canada Clinic Ottawa Clinic (April 11th) and is excited of the chance to learn and evolve his game even further.

ā€œI’m looking forward in learning new things and getting better at QB Canada,ā€ commented the pivot. ā€œI can’t wait to be able to put to practice things I’ll learn there.ā€

For Charpentier, all his experiences set him up in his quest to realize his ultimate gridiron dream.

ā€œMy ultimate goal is being an NFL quarterback but what I always want to achieve is helping the team I play for to win a championship,ā€ commented Charpentier. Ā ā€œWinning is always the main goal.ā€
