How To Kick a Football With Great Contact

[@KickersOfEarth]

Let me know if this video helped you and what I should make a video on next!

[@ryanv9787]

Can you make a video of doing the pole drill please?

[@subthefatzebra2588]

not sure if you’ll ever see this but i’ve been struggling to kick and have not been consistent at all but you explained everything so perfect and now i’m kicking almost double what i was kicking CONSISTENTLY. thank you very much sir

[@KickersOfEarth]

I'm happy to be apart of your journey man! Thank you for the kind words :)

[@Bejrnzjdj]

Congrats 🎉

[@FamilyFootageSoCal]

My 6 year old son wants to be a kicker and he's a lefty as well. It was nice to see someone explain it from a lefty perspective! Thanks for posting this video it was very helpful.

[@KickersOfEarth]

Glad it helped :)

[@NotWille]

I’m also a lefty and I can kick better than anyone at my school so it’s not a curse you may have to work slightly harder

[@BrandonBakaERN]

all groin and all quad explanation was PERFECT advise!!! Good job breaking that down!

[@MikeinCC]

Thank you for this video. Working with my 10-year soccer forward U18 son who is trying out for his HS kicker position. His instinct is to curl the ball on impact, which he's trying to unlearn for football. Soccer players want to put english on everything, but American football isn't one of them. Good news is he's smoking 35-yard field goals with ease. This is a great educational video.

[@tanner-w5j]

Thanks for going out of your way to help people kick field goals the RIGHT way

[@CJWarhurst]

You're an awesome teacher, bro

[@KickersOfEarth]

I try to be. Thank you for the feedback :)

[@KingPongC327]

Thank you so much for this video, i learned that I’m turning my foot too much and not down enough, and it is very useful!

[@KickersOfEarth]

I'm glad you enjoyed this, thank you for the kind words!

[@BrandonBakaERN]

You literally have the best video explaining kicking I"ve watched and I know how to kick! Teaching the kiddo! Thank you

[@KickersOfEarth]

Thank you brother, glad I could help :)

[@launchpadkickofftee8323]

Hey man, we LOVE the duct taped shoes!!! Not one to give up on an old friend, KOE! Some of us have things duct taped together! Still works!!!!! Also, facing 11oclock at impact for lefties is consistent with some of the best coaches teachings out there. Finish at target, not impact at target. Very sweet Vid. Rock the tape!!!!!!

[@KickersOfEarth]

Tape makes the world go round! Thank you for the kind words Bill! I hope all is well.

Hey man thanks for the vid super helpful

[@KickersOfEarth]

Glad it helped :)

[@MRElectric-ks1ir]

I also was wondering what it is like when you attempt your first regulation field goal in a game with a defensive line rushing you. Was it scary to kick your first field goal? Great videos, keep it up.

[@KickersOfEarth]

When I first started yes haha. But as you grow, you get more confident in your abilities because you're prepared for it.

[@brandoncarrigan9643]

A big thing is practicing with someone holding for you it helps a lot and maybe even have someone rush you as well

[@tgxhank5516]

For me it was really easy I didnt even see them coming

[@adamgoudreau7069]

You don’t even notice

[@oliversolimeno1904]

Thank you so much for making these videos

[@KickersOfEarth]

Anytime man! Thank you for watching them!

[@dallasg3426]

dude i’ve been doing soccer style, i’m inaccurate and my long is a 50 this changes everything thanks man 🙌🏻

[@KickersOfEarth]

No problem at all man! Glad I could help in some way :)

[@carybird24]

Omg the spit mark is marking where to kick it. Stephen Hauschka always used to do that on kickoffs and I never knew what he was doing haha!

[@KickersOfEarth]

hahaha 100% glad I could help clear that up

[@Eli-qo8om]

Bro, I’ve just been trying to become more versatile because I don’t get too many minutes as a receiver in this is definitely gonna help me get some more minutes at least as a kicker

[@T12-09]

Thanks helped alot keep u[ he good worm

[@KickersOfEarth]

Glad it helped!

[@ethanjankowski5877]

Thanks man I really struggle with having my leg locked at contact I really need to practice this

[@KickersOfEarth]

Anytime man! I'm glad this video helped you in some way!

[@Blake-h5u]

Bro thank you I couldn't even make it a foot off the ground with the football cuz I was doing it wrong until I found your video

[@DominickPalmaFitness]

I need help like I can’t kick it from that bone on my foot, when I try to do it its absolutely impossible for me to do

[@ThatBob781]

For me every time I kick it goes far right now do I fix

[@ZachOrton.]

Aim left

[@Dannyfc18]

Hey man I’ve been kicking for like 2 days I’m not the best kicker I can kick for like 25 yards max I’m practicing every day except for weekends how long do you think it will take for me to kick 50 plus yards I’m only 14 a freshman in high school

[@jake75776]

I’ve been trying really hard to improve my kicking and I ended up injuring my foot because I was kicking too much. Are there any drills that can help me improve the kicks I do without having to kick 50 kicks per day?

[@edwardllorente9441]

i have a question. How can I improve the speed when taking steps towards the ball?

[@mericarl1456]

Do you have a video and how to be more accurate with fgs?

[@MRElectric-ks1ir]

I struggle a lot with my backswing, how can I improve my backswing.

[@KickersOfEarth]

Keep an eye on recent uploads ;)

[@QUANTUMPHYSICS1887]

Hello Grate Lesson

[@KickersOfEarth]

Thanks! 😃

[@coachjamesmartino402]

Also if you have a larger foot like a12 it is hard to hit that bone on your foot at the correct spot on the football because you cannot get low enough

[@remakergod6740]

So how do you fix that?

[@coachjamesmartino402]

@@remakergod6740 wider plant, land on your heel when you plant so that you will have a very good lean and wedge foot a lil more...

[@remakergod6740]

@@coachjamesmartino402 So should I space out my foot when I’m running up? I have troubles with getting the ball in the air and hitting it perfectly.

[@coachjamesmartino402]

No, what I meant was when you land on your plant foot you can land a little wider from the ball so that your Bigfoot can get leverage underneath the ball. You should also concentrate on hitting the panel of the football that is facing you as you approach the ball

[@coachjamesmartino402]

What do you find works for a larger foot??

[@oldschoolducksdf1825]

Do you recommend a particular football for kicking? My son is thinking the Duke…

[@KickersOfEarth]

Duke works great! GST's are the most common and cost effective leather footballs I can find at the moment

[@ryanv9787]

Can you make a video of how to set a football when you are kicking

[@coachjamesmartino402]

Driving the inside panel solves LOTS of problems!

[@KickersOfEarth]

Absolutely! It's the saving grace for a lot of guys!

[@zekesfunplayhouse6687]

It helped

[@KickersOfEarth]

Glad to know! Thanks :)

[@jeffreydotson1410]

Bro, it’s hard to do it. I can only get a few kicks, but it’s really hard because I can’t get contact really high in the air.

[@chamelanderos4746]

My coach tells me to look up should i listen or keep my head down when kicking

[@nofouls1421]

No, you look down on the ball when you make contact so you’re aware of where you hit the ball, then you can look up like a second or 2 after you kick it.

[@christopherhansen8343]

What shoe do u kick in

[@oliversolimeno1904]

What is the e book about?

[@KickersOfEarth]

It covers technique, mindset, nutrition, workouts, stretches, and a portion where pro kickers and punters explained what they do to succeed. And a lot of other material. Coming out soon so sign up for the email list to get it before anyone else!

[@TheBritishPunter]

I get good height from inside 40, but outside of that I lose a lot of power and height. What do you suggest? Cheers mate

[@KickersOfEarth]

Every kick is the same. No need to change anything. If you feel strong from 40 in, that's fine, build up consistency then back up over time!

[@GH-zj3tg]

I kick with all quad. I get good kicks, but I just feel that it ain’t the way a kicker should kick.

[@Tornado7374]

I try to kick it but I hit it with my toe and it hurts 😭

[@KickersOfEarth]

If you kick with you're toe you're gonna have a bad time

[@davidyoran587]

The first time I heard this

[@nikolaig1]

Kick in the first two loops of your shoelace. Keep your back straight. Youll be alot beter. Thats what helped mee.

[@KickersOfEarth]

Definitely, there's a few ways to phrase it but they all work well! Good technique fixes a lot of the common issues people have

[@dromeo9443]

You didn't actually kick it? WTH bro?😂

[@thomasjefferson5241]

I learned nothing

[@KickersOfEarth]

What can I do moving forward to help you learn something?
