COLLEGE / PRO Videos Page Added

You might have noticed that I have been making some changes to my website recently. The latest addition to the website is the page with close up videos of some of the top college kickers and punters in the country who I had the opportunity to work with.

Compare their kicking mechanics to yours.

Find out why everyone is already saying that 19-year old University of Illinois freshman Derek Dimke is NFL-bound.

Check out the perfect mechanics of former Green Bay Packer and University of Wisconsin punter Kenny Debauche.

and more...

Dynamic Stretching Program

If you attended one of my camps, you were probably exposed to some form of dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretches are a good way to warm up before kicking.

2 ways to prevent kicking related injuries:
1) kick all year. (don't take few months off because you are playing a different sport)
2) perform dynamic stretches at the beginning of the workout and static stretches at the end.

This dynamic stretching program is excellent

Todd Carter - Grand Valley State U. - Class of 09

Todd Carter is one of the best kickers in the nation from the college class of '09.

Check out his unedited video which contains 6 consecutive kickoffs.

He is using new (not broken in) NFL footballs - which reduce distance and hang time of kicks. Even with the new footballs, Todd's kicks are between 66 and 76 yards with 4.1 to 4.3 hang times.

Expect to see Todd as a counselor at several "The Kicking Coach" camps this spring and summer.
