Great video. Almost every kicker when they first start out has no idea how to properly train, so this video is amazing. Proper training is one of the main reasons I have the ability to play at the next level and its so overlooked in the kicking world.

[@lowqcam]

can you send me your routine?

[@luisotero2182]

I come from a soccer background and i thought it would be easy it’s harder 😂 but it’s because i also never kicked a football like that as well im a kicker now in my brother in law team I tried out yesterday and the coach wants me lol I did bad but then i did little better so i got potential

[@thunderfoot4005]

Unreal training. I was a D1 kicker back in the dinosaur ages and we had none of this brilliant granular training. “Just do Nautilus machines and suicides” 😅

I can kick maybe 40 yards on a good day, and I’m thinking of trying out for kicker so this video definitely helps. 👍🏼

[@KickItGoodAlex]

Thanks! No experience and need this. Just started.

This is very good supplemental training, but what is missing here are resistance workouts that resemble a kicking motion. These should be heavier, low repetitions with a lot of explosiveness. You can do squats until you puke, but if you are not doing concentric workouts that combine the hip flexor, groin and quads than you are not training to your potential.
I would urge personal trainers to go out to a field and attempt to kick soccer style a bit with a kicker to understand what groups to focus on. Your answer will be whatever is sore the next day!

You've forgotten about the rectus femoris strength or at least injury prevention (squats and Olifts are not the best ways to do this)
and about ankle stiffness - the absolute key for a good strike ( because if one doesn't have this, all the power from the hips will leak out). Also some hip internal rotation exercise might be useful

Peaking as a hobby kickboxer to get stronger lowkicks👀

Is making two very good field goals from the 20 yard line good for my second day

[@Kiran-ow9qf]

Depends how old you are

[@TinyDec]

can you tell us what type of gear we shpuld us?

[@clarkdrcar]

Tren

[@user-hu1dk3er4p]

very helpful. However, kickers should not be decelerating at the point of contact

[@adamgoudreau7069]

It still helps load up power with momentum

[@andresochoa1518]

I kick 50 yards down the middle doing none of that all I do I biking
