This kick start program is designed to get you a little more stronger. powerful and move better. The purpose of the program is to have a good transition over to the Kickers Are Athletes Off Season program. This program helps get you conditioned and ready for the next step. We are only setting your foundation here to get ready for more advanced movements.
We focus on the foundation first then move to more position specific movements in the Off-season program. The program has 6 prescribed days that balance out mobility, conditioning, strength and power. We work on building upper and lower body strength with some power, plyometric and hypertrophy.
Once you finish this 4 week program you can hit the ground running in our Kickers Are Athletes program.

Starting kicker for 4 years at The University of Tulsa. I tied the record for most field foals 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).
