Hello, my name is Ben Burch, I'm an American who lives in Saudi Arabia. I will be playing high school football in Minnesota next year as a kicker and punter. (I kick straight on). I've only played a season in the fall and spring in Europe and I'm entirely self taught. Could you please watch my video and give any tips? If so, then thank you.

Anytime you miss a kick, you'll feel bad. The trick is, "How do you keep your confidence under pressure AFTER you've screwed up?" I'm going to wave my magic wand and provide the answer for you.... all the steps to REBOUND. ...and here's is... YOU NEED TO LET IT GO. Let go of the "miss". No matter how good, bad or indifferent. It's all in your perspective and ALL IN YOUR HEAD. So how do you do that? By instantly changing your perspective. You need to build up this "tool", just like you have been building up your kicking leg and technique. Over the course of your kicking career, you have made many kicks and missed a bunch, too. So why do you keep kicking? You must be getting something out of it. If you are, then it's likely that you've gotten pretty good at it. It's gratifying to kick a ball as well and as straight as you can. And then, to do it in a game... is there a better feeling in the world? Like, literally? Like this video clip, the kicker (and everyone in the stadium) would never have guessed that he'd be given a second chance to make a big kick after missing the first. But that's exactly what happened. If his perspective after the kick was depression, there's no way he makes the second. In fact, he starts saying a little prayer about "please don't have me kick from there again. I can't make it." And if it's bad enough, he gets to "...and I suck." Don't go there. If you find yourself moving towards that darkness, try this: 1) You've already recognized that you screwed up. Good. 2) BBB - Breathe, Bounce & Break. • Take a 3 sec. inhale, hold it for 3 and exhale for 3 seconds. • Bounce up and down on your toes to loosen up. Shake your arms a bit. Loosen your neck. • Clap your hands like breaking the huddle and know that you're in a different place now. 3) Change your perspective... • If you were this kicker in the game, recognize that your coach just put you in to MAKE a 54 yard field goal. He must have confidence in you. He must have expected you to make it. You don't suck. You missed. That's all... like the 500 times you have before.

Get on the call at 5pm CST! — — > ZOOM LINK @anthony-s-mason-3800 @kendra-d-scott-4875 @ben-burch-7315 @raiden-naranjo-4095 @seth-adams-6919 @john-ogrady-1649 @landon-church-8989 @asher-knapp-8700 @elisa-knapp-1418 @rowan-higgins-8842 @alex-mendez-6081 @chad-piwoni-5388 @tripp-row-9971 @ryan-schroeder-5557 @karl-avdek-7917 @paul-polarek-4996 @joe @josh-growden-1512 @kristine-devine-2693 @barrett-waldvogel-5163 @arav-patel-1253 @sam-drey-9941 @matt-chrisler-2210 @37840428 @brad-boockmeier-5363 @theo-evans-8252 @vince-sciano-5467 @brandon-jensen-9923 @paul-lacapa-4731 @chris-wendt-3513 @jayson-smith-6316 @todd-flagg-4390 @olivia-scott-7333 @sousa-kyle-ricks-1288 @ryan-pfister-5893 @ayden-livingston-6427 @olajire-samuel-4768 @aaron-solberg-4256 @matt-schroeder-4111 @rachel-solberg-4841 @kathleen-shane-4244 @ben-vic-5248 @noah-lalande-villemin-9268 @aziz-ashour-4379 @spencer-wright-1605 @devin-anderson-1596 @ben-frey-9717 @awwal-idris-3850 @enoch-luwa-1228 @ethan-van-beek-6030 @joseph-xiya-8280 @nathan-custer-2229 @domanick-knott-9501 @ellis-wangelin-3312

I wanted to put something special under the kicking tree this month, as I have stepped up the prizes each month... (don't expect that every month 🤪), but I really want to see more engagement as we continue to build this great community of athletes, parents and coaches! The Top Spot on the leaderboard by midnight, December 31st will get a Brett Favre autographed NFL football! If you're a Packer fan, you'll cherish it forever, if you're an investor, you'll appreciate that it's worth (about $500) and if you're a Bears fan, you'll find kicking it very cathartic! 🧸 😵

Did you see the game last night between the Bills and the 49ers? 2-feet of snow and still coming down! Not an easy task to kick in such conditions — would you be up to the challenge? Do you know what the keys are to success in such conditions?
