  • Timing is the key. You need steps that keep you accelerating through the ball. It should be a gradual buildup of momentum. Almost as if you are jogging down a gradual decline to your moment of peak acceleration, which is when you want to contact the ball. Keep your chest up, your eyes on the ball, and pull your left arm hard while your leg swings up and through the ball. Jog down the field for about 10 yards every kickoff. And your steps should never be choppy. Hope that helps.

  • No. It is just the accepted method which puts the kicker the best distance from the ball to get the kick off in time

  • No team currently, but that will change soon. Penn State, Wisconsin... For practice, about 11 to 12 pounds. And use the size ball that is going to be used in your league. High school, college, etc. To kick further? With a developing leg I would reccomend a good stretch routine, regular practice, and short sprinting workouts. This will develop the fast twitch muscle fibers in your legs. There are more advanced drills once you develop further. Good luck all.

  • Slightly forward and a little to the right. A good cleated shoe on my plant foot and a tight fitting soccer cleat on my kicking foot.

  • I did. Many times. The most was 108,000.

  • Could you post more vids like this, but with better quality and telling us what exactly your doin on the kick

  • I'm going to try to do that soon. 12-01

  • hey dude.Im a sophmore in highschool and i am starting kicker. I love how crisp your kicks are,its so flawless,i just thought your steps were weird,but hey if your consistant and it works,use them.Anyways i kick almost exactly like you do, and its obvious it works.My furthest field goal is a 55 yarder.I also can get touchbacks very easily on kickoffs. i have had personal trainers and i am doing almost everything right,if i send you a video of some kicks could you check it out and see if there i

  • wouldn't that be a 57 yd field goal because you add 10 for the end zone and 7 for the trajectory?
