Question about kickers....


KillerKat

Recommended Posts

Our own kicking situation got me thinking about this...

What can make a kicker great, but then suddenly awful? For example, Mike Vanderjagt

What can make a kicker so wilding inconsistent? For example, Neil Rackers (However you can argue that kickers like this are consistent at being inconsistent though)

How can a kicker be awful, but then suddenly good/great? For example, Justin Medlock possibly.

It seems to me that you would either have it or not. The sudden changes in a kicker confuse me. Is it coaching? Is it psychological? What is it?

Kickers spend a lot of time by themselves. Why, because often they know more about the angles of approach, time to complete, than their coaches.

So when something goes wrong a coach, usually can't even tell them how to fix it. I wish more football coaches would go to at least one summer session of a real kicking camp, it would help them and their players tremendously.
