“My son Tommy started kicking with Coach Wilhoit in 7th grade. Growing up as a talented soccer player, the transition was seamless for both. Tommy is now graduating as a top 7 ranked kicker in the country in both ranking services with a full scholarship offer to a D1 program with intentions of starting as a freshman. Coach Wilhoit is a significant factor in this success. He taught him the discipline needed technically as well as mentally. The one on one attention, combined with small groups (competition) of similarly talented kickers and camps continued to motivate Tommy to get to this level. Beyond that, Coach Wilhoit has become recognized as one of the top producers of high school kickers in the country. College coaches now seek him out for his next crop, which is critical for the recruiting process. If you are within a 4 hour drive and your child is remotely interested in becoming a reliable high school kicker or beyond, this is the only coach for you! His results speak for themselves.

“Having the opportunity to play college football has always been a dream of mine.
That dream became a reality through countless hours of hard work, numerous camps, and individual training sessions.
Working with Coach Wilhoit over the past several years has made a tremendous impact on my ability to develop into the kicker I am today. I appreciate everything that he has done for me in my kicking journey. More importantly, I value our friendship and am grateful that he was able to be there with me on this special day!

“We started training with Wilhoit Kicking Academy when our son Upton was in the 7th grade. The coaching, development of fundamentals, and mentoring were just a few of the many reasons we chose to work with James.

Coach Wilhoit was not just a great former Tennessee Vol place-kicker. He is a teacher of the game. He has always had a gift for meeting the athlete at his talent level and maximizing his potential. He communicates in a way where each kid can understand and excel if they are willing to put in the work and time.

Wilhoit Kicking Academy is a key factor in the success of our son. Ten years later, Upton still relies on James at every level to guide him through technical assistance and the many different elements of the game at every level of play. He trains middle school, high school, college, and NFL kickers. We depend on his advice in critical moments. I highly recommend James Wilhoit and Wilhoit Kicking Academy to any kicker on their journey to be the best!”
