SOME OF WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Kicking – Mechanics - Can’t get rid of that spinning, roundhouse finish? Learn how shoulder position in your stance directly affects your finish. - Other than keeping a straight path to the ball, why do we cross our kicking foot over on the first full step? Find out the other key reasons. - If you’re lacking height or getting funny rotations, you’re swinging up too long. Learn what in your body position is causing this. - Sore groin or hip? Find out what it is about your body position and swing that causes this, and keep yourself on the field.

Punting – Mechanics - Learn how not using your non-dominant arm affects your swing. - The nose of the ball drops when you release it.
