Why train like an athlete...
That's easy to answer, because we are!! In this day and age kickers are not seen as what they were in the past. The one guy that extremely lacks athleticism and is put at the kicking or punting position, "because where else do we put him/her" is over. There is a different breed of kickers now and this program that is backed by science will improve that breed.
What to Expect in This Program
What makes us unique athletes...
Rotational power, leg speed, stability/ balance and mobile in certain areas is key for us kickers/punters. We need a strong foundation starting from the lower body and moving up through the kinetic chain. Our body needs to flow and work together as a whole to create this power of sending it though the end zone and hitting from 55+ effortlessly. We will go through different blocks of training during the in-season to maximize our ability to MAINTAIN strength, power, mobility and stability qualities to keep our imbalances in check.

Nutrition Talk

Starting kicker for 4 years at The University of Tulsa. I tied the record for most field goals in a season and hold the record for all time scoring leader at the university. I then went on to continue playing at the pro level signing with the Chicago Bears (NFL) for the off season and then playing for the Houston Blues (Spring League).
This is backed by science to maintain the most important qualities during season.
