  • Sorry to have to point this out to you, I play high school football as starting kicker, and you do not know what you are doing. If you had any clue of what you were doing, you would have pointed out that it is not supposed to hurt your foot. And if you need advice on how to kick a kickoff, don't take it from this guy.

  • @JCarlson1996 As a person who had multiple scholarship offers and was ranked the top kicker in the state my senior year of high school, had the best field goal percentage in the conference in college, and won numerous awards...I am in a perfect position to give advice. I would love to tee up side by side next to you and show you how it's done. I know more than you about the kicking game in my little pinky finger and your ignorant comment validates my point.

  • @JCarlson1996 Furthermore, why would I have to point out that it isn't suppose to hurt your foot? That's not an instructional tip. It is a common sense thing. I have learned from Several NFL kickers and no one ever told me that little fact. Enjoy high school kid. Learn some humility, too. You'll learn in life that you don't have a clue of what you are talking about. You'll look back at conversations such as these and think, "Man. Was I that stupid." I assure you that the answer is yes.

  • @JCarlson1996 you must have a coach at your school like I do. my coaches think theyre back in the 80 when it comes to kicking. they dont know anything about "mechanics". Ive been kicking for years and have done HOURS AND HOURS of research and watched NFL kickers for HOURS AND HOURS. Ive been to a couple of camps too. this guys knows exactly what hes talking about. keep it up finklekicker

  • @gusbus2013 thanks @gusbus. I appreciate that. Keep up the hard work!

  • hello, im from scotland and am playing collegiate soccer in the states. i take all the free kicks etc for my soccer team and the football team wanted me to try kicking for them so i did, field goals arent a problem i can kick them fine with either foot. kickoffs they want me to do but i'm struglin with gettin it into the endzone, if i do its too low then i put more height on it it gets to the ten or five. i think its my follow through or plant step is too far away cos it dont feel clean kick

  • @hendinho87 i bet you are probably leaning over the ball too much when you kick, making it go lower. and when you kick it higher you are probably not getting the same explosion. that is just purely a guess without looking at your kicks. if you have a video of your kickoffs, upload it and i can do a more complete analysis.
