I kicked in high school and college, coached for 32 years, you are a stud. I am interested , especially when you were just starting out, what you did to get better at locking your ankle out. We do no steps, one steps, bag drills, and my young guy is not getting better at it. I have taught him from the ground up. Maybe I am just old, but I can't remember any of my past 32 years of kickers having this much trouble, any advice?
Thank you so much!! How old is the athlete? If he is relatively young, just make sure you are patient with him. Encourage him to practice on his own. I asked my kicking coach what he would recommend for this situation and he said this: The drill I like best for ball striking and foot position is me holding the football on the tees and supporting it from the front with my legs while they no step kick the back of it at like 50% power. You can see and coach the foot, ankle, and knee position. Then go directly to live no-steps and try to repeat the contact. The bag drills are good for leg swing but not great for foot position. The other way I try to encourage learning about foot position is asking after each kick “how did it feel off your foot?” Cause you can’t learn to strike a ball well unless you are paying attention to how it feels and making continues corrections and experiments. Let me know if this helps!
@@danieljackson2025 Good stuff, yes we ask him after every kick, where did you hit it. I am aware of that drill, but we can definitely do it more, (holding the ball in the front) Thank you for your help, I am a big fan and will keep up with you. God bless and God Speed. Coach Vince McCeosky
Thank you! My advice would be to lift weights. Clean, Snatch, Back/ Front Squat, etc. I think the most important factor for leg speed is to do track if possible and if not just sprinting helps.
Thanks for watching!
