Tennessee Kicking Camps

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 [...]

Changes in Recruiting for Kickers

2018-05-06T16:16:36+00:00

Coming out of high school in 2002 I was ranked the number one kicker in the country by Rivals and Parade Magazine. I didn't attend a single combine or scholarship camp. Those types of camps weren't available at the time and the emphasis on recruiting kickers wasn't there either. Recruiting kickers and punters has changed in the past 10-15 years and mainly for the better. Even with the improvements in the evaluation of kickers in college there are still flaws in the system. 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 [...]

Wilhoit Kickers Well Represented in Mr. Football Awards

2018-05-06T16:17:03+00:00

The Mr. Football Kicker of the Year award goes to the best kicker in the state of Tennessee regardless of classification. It is voted on by sportswriters from across the state. I think that they did a great job with the 3 finalists this year. Obviously there are always some omissions but there are some strong candidates this year in Corey Fatony (Franklin HS), Laszlo Toser (Ooltewah HS) and Thomas Garrison (Columbia Academy). I am not as familiar with Thomas Garrison since I haven't trained him but Corey Fatony & Laszlo Toser are Wilhoit Clients that participated in my Training Program [...]
