Elevate Your Game with Wilhoit Kicking Academy

Every great kicker needs a great coach — someone who understands the mechanics, mindset, and preparation behind every successful kick. If you’ve been searching for a football kicking coach in Tennessee, look no further than Wilhoit Kicking Academy. Led by James Wilhoit, with coaching support from Aaron Medley and Charles Campbell, the Academy provides personalized, professional instruction to athletes from across the state — from Knoxville to Memphis, Chattanooga to Nashville.

Why a Football Kicking Coach Matters

Unlike team practices where kickers often get limited attention, private and small-group training sessions focus entirely on the details that make a difference. The right football kicking coach can identify form errors, improve accuracy, and build the consistency needed to perform under pressure.
At Wilhoit Kicking Academy, we meet every athlete where they are — beginner, intermediate, or college-ready — and guide them toward measurable, lasting improvement.

Meet the Coaching Team

    • James Wilhoit – A former University of Tennessee standout who has trained hundreds of kickers statewide and built one of the most respected programs in the region.
    • Aaron Medley – Known for his technical precision, Aaron helps athletes master timing, rhythm, and foot placement.
    • Charles Campbell – Brings modern insight from his own college kicking experience, helping young athletes connect to today’s game.

Together, these three bring the perfect mix of mentorship and mastery. Their shared goal? To develop well-rounded athletes who excel on the field and carry confidence off it.

  • Strength & Conditioning – Targeted drills to improve core and leg strength for distance and control.
  • College Prep Training – Insider advice on recruitment, highlight reels, and what college coaches expect.
