Kicking Camps in Tennessee and Summer Plans

2018-05-06T16:15:59+00:00

After doing kicking lessons in Tennessee for the past 7 years I have learned something about kickers and even more about soccer players. Your average kicker doesn't know he's going to be a kicker until at least sophomore year of high school and typically they are recruited by the football coach and  don't just volunteer their services. The position of kicker is different than any other position in team sports outside of a pitcher in baseball because you are in essence performing individually but asked to be part of the team. Kickers are like mercenaries or snipers that come in to [...]

After my junior year of high school I made a highlight tape of my season. I made sure [...]

Physical Training For Kickers

2018-05-06T16:16:52+00:00

After having success training top kickers like Gary Wunderlich (Ole Miss), Aaron Medley (Tennessee) and many other BCS level kicking specialists, I have found some common traits between success and failure. I have never been opposed to my kickers playing soccer in the Spring but I can tell a HUGE difference when someone has neglected developing themselves physically. Here is a list of the Top Kickers in the 2015 class by Kohls Kicking: 1) Justin Yoon- 5'11 185 lbs 2) Austin Seibert- 5'10 195 lbs 3) Andrew Galitz- 5'11 175 lbs 4) Jake Bailey- 6'2 185 lbs 5) Louie Zervos- 5'9 [...]
