What to look for in a Football Kicking Coach:

A football kicking coach specializes in teaching the proper fundamentals and technique for field goals, kickoffs, punts, holding for kicks and long snapping. They work with athletes at various levels, from youth to professional, to improve performance, often through private lessons, camps, and clinics. 

Responsibilities of a Football Kicking Coach:

• Technique Instruction: Kicking coaches focus on proper technique and form for all aspects of kicking and punting. This includes: ball placement (kickers), reception / hand positioning (for punters), stance, approach, steps, plant foot, contact and follow-through. Instruction also includes the proper techniques of football holding.
• Skill Development: Kicking coaches design drills and training programs that will enhance leg speed, power, accuracy, and consistency.
• Mental Training: A significant part of being a kicking coach involves building mental focus, resilience under pressure, and confidence for high-pressure moments.
• Recruiting Guidance: For high school and college athletes, football kicking coaches often provide exposure and guidance on the college recruiting process and even professional tryouts.
• Physical Preparation: Football kicking coaches help develop kicking-specific strength and conditioning programs.
