“Kicking coaches are very important. They not only work on the mechanics of kicking they build the confidence of their player. Special teams are very important. They can change the game dramatically. Most high school coaches do not place the emphasis on special teams they should. One reason they do not know enough about them. The other position’s that need to be developed are holder’s and Long snappers. That will help both your kicker and punter be more consistent and more comfortable.”- San Diego Sockers GM and XX1090 Radio Host — Coach John Kentera
As explained in the quote above, while coaches are extremely knowledgeable, kickers are a different breed, who need specialized instruction. For the most part many kickers/punters only need proper guidance and instruction to become a weapon for your team.
Over the last seven years The Kicking System has offered this instruction, and produced amazing results. It has recently expanded to the Inland Empire and has a growing client base with similar results.
