I’m just starting kicking I’ve been playing soccer for a long time and just started, today I hit from the 35 yard line so It felt pretty good to see someone else who is proud of it
People think 45 is a chip shot because pros and top kickers in college make it look easy. But 45 yards is a decent distance for sure. Especially just starting out. How old are you? And I posted this video because I thought the slowmo was cool. And the fact this was one of the first times I'd kicked in years at that time. I've only kicked a handful of times since this video as well. So I'm happy I can still put them in from 40/45 without working on it.
Cool. As you probably have already figured out to an extent, it's the brain you have to tame, as a placekicker. I'm glad you're working up to longer kicks, but keep working on the positive mental piece, too. That's where true kicking success occurs. Keep kicking!
Nice Form! Great contact! My Boys play AAU Football. My 10 Year old Kicking 30 Yarders and My 8 Year old kicked 24 Yarder . They Both had Kicked 20 Yarders by 7 years Old
Thanks! And that's great! What's AAU? I grew up playing soccer, and didn't play football until my freshman year of high school, so I'm a little unfamiliar with the levels before that. But that's insane for 10 and 8 years old. Get them on Nick Saban's radar early, because Alabama always needs help in the special teams department 😂
@@lilroehler Im Coach them In Soccer. Ive been working with them since they were 3-4. Started playin at t(soccer). Both very Talented. AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) "Top Level" youth Football. And that's whats Up! How good did you do in HS as a kicker? What was your best FG? Soccer does help ALOT in Football kicking, specially when you start Young. Keep Postin Videos Brother, and any tips you can share with us, they are more than Welcomed.
@@giftedathletes2226 Soccer definitely helps. It was a pretty natural transition for me. The first time I started kicking field goals with no training, I was hitting 40's. People don't realize there are differences in the techniques though. I missed 11 extra points in 3 1/2 years. 5 of which were blocked. 1 was off of a bad hold from my holder, he missed the tee tipping it up and I hit more of the tee than the ball. Normal holder was out, and it was his first in game snap. 1 was from a miscommunication between me and my holder, they signaled for the snap while was still taking my steps. Making me kick from a straight on position, which is a really bad situation for a soccer style kicker. And 1 more was a stupid mental error on my part. One I never should have missed. So only 3 real misses because of form out of 100+. (Roughly 115). Best advice I was given about extra points. 20 yards is easy. Go for height, not distance. I used to try and kill it to show off. Which lead to the blocks. After I was told that, I never had one blocked. My farthest in a game was 41 from the left hash my junior year. Farthest attempt was a 47. Missed it wide left because I hit it off of my ankle. I didn't have a true kicking coach with me every day to point out my inconsistencies in my steps which lead to different plant placements. True small town high school where none of the coaches knew anything about kicking. But my farthest kick in practice was from 60 off of a 2" tee the summer before my senior year. Tore my acl the next week. Still played my senior year, but was mostly used for PAT's. Only attempted 2 field goals that year. Throughout High School, I was only 5-13. If I had the advice I was given after high school, that percentage would have been higher for sure. Only advice I know to give is to work on consistency all the way down to your steps. My angle on my side steps would vary. I wouldn't go straight to the left. One could be diagonal and to the back while the next would be diagonal and to the front. Throwing off the whole kick. I've marked where the kickers are that I've worked with after finding their steps and have had them practice just taking steps to build in that consistency. If they're not at the same spot every time, it's going to mess something up. Their plant foot will be too close, making the ball come off their ankle, like my 47 yard attempt. Or it could be too far away making the contact be too far forward on the foot and not get the power through the ball. And people think distance comes from a strong leg. Leg strength and speed are important, but it comes from a strong core. Find exercises that really focus on the core strength. Strengthen hip flexors as well. And always work on flexibility. That's what gives you the height you need. But your kids sound like they're well on their way! Don't know if there's really anything I can help with that you may not know already.
@@lilroehler very good point on the PATs, HEIGHT, and Not Killin it... Amazing how you remember every detail of your kicks! Awesome! JW, how did you messed up your ACL, just from kicking? From soccer? And YES, CORE... Thank you for pointing that out. Any video for those type of core workouts? Thanx Man, for your time, HS Memories and everything you share! 🙌🙌
@kevinklino3193 I just have a small foot. May have hit a little higher on my foot in this video than I normally do. But I use the bone on the side of my foot.
@kevinklino3193 I've also never noticed in this video, I'm a little farther away on the plant as well, making me reach more for the ball. So I didn't hit it as cleanly as you should.
@@danielmilitzok1350 Nice! I have a video up of me hitting a 50 from the other day. First one I'd hit in a few years honestly. Is that the farthest you've hit?
@dakodafisher2034 most people can't. College, NFL, and even some high school kickers make 30 look easy, but it's not if you're just starting out most of the time. That's why the NFL pushed the extra point back to 33. That's the average distance most kickers started missing consistently at that level. But it's something that's definitely attainable with a slight tweak of the form. If you have no form, a 30 yarder can easily be made just by learning one of the basics.
Kyle Roehler No you're not, you can see the PAT line at three yards. There are three lines after that which takes you to the twenty, add ten that's 30 yards.
Brandon DeLong if you notice, what you're calling the "pat line" in this video actually goes all the way across the field. Which the 3 yard line never does. It's difficult to see, seeing as it's recorded on my phone, and in slowmotion which distorts the quality any way. It's hard to see, I'll give you that, but if you notice, that "pat line" you're saying you see 3 lines up from where I am in the video, the goal post is still a long way away from that mark, which should only be 13 yards away. If you don't believe me when I say it's 45 yard field goal, go check out my 40 yard 1 step field goal on my page. If you still don't believe me, then it's whatever man. I didn't post it to impress random strangers online. I posted it, 1. Because I thought it was a cool video. 2. So I could post it to my Facebook with as little dip in quality as possible. Appreciate you watching though.

iwanna be justin ticler
college?
Did I play college? No. Tore my ACL going into my senior year of high school. Never had the surgery.
You do do the same thing I do. I toe the ball. You can hit a longer FG
I'm not toe poking it here. Do you toe poke from a soccer style approach?
@@lilroehler nope didn’t say toe poke. Looks like you’re striking the ball on your foot closer to your toe instead of the hard bone in your foot
