Practice Kicking from the Hashes
Last season our special teams coach stressed the importance of kicking from the hashes in practice and in our off-season training. He took a stat from the last 4 seasons at Whitewater and 80% of the kicks came from the hashes. I would bet these numbers are similar to other levels as well. So just a reminder when gearing up for your season at any level make sure you get your work in from both the hashes.

I try to get out and kick at least three times a week, may kick more depending on how hip flexor and knee are feeling throughout the week. I've been doing my sessions starting with punt, then field goal, and kickoff. I do a drill or two to warmup until getting to full steps on all phases. Each session I usually try to do something new or different to see if it works. Punt, I have experimented with different steps, hops, drops etc. Some days I will go out and try different punts like a banana or an Aussie, or work more directionally. Field goals I move my steps around to find an ideal spot, or change my jab distance, and I do the same for kickoff. I have spots that I know I am comfortable with for the most part and they work but I am experimenting in order to find near perfect spots. I do this experimenting in the offseason so that when I go into the season I can say I already tried this or that and I confident in the way I am getting a job done.

Would add some strengthening exercises for your hip flexor, knee, ankle, whatever else may bother you. Flexibility is good to have, strengthening areas you may have trouble with will do more for you long term in terms of injury prevention.

Solid kicks, in my opinion you need to work on getting through the ball more and skipping on your left foot. Check out blackfor3 or nicknovak on instagram. Pay attention to how each kicker gets through the ball and skips on their left foot after contact. Your plant foot sticks in the ground sometimes or doesn't get through fully. I think you are leaving some power on the table because of it.

Right Hash
I have been noticing a lot of my kicks especially from the right hash tend to hug the right uprights, if anyone has any suggestions on how to center more of my kicks I would love to hear them. For reference I attached a video. If you can't access it let me know. Thanks.

Thank you for the response. Was definitely helpful, I think my alignment was off on the right hash for whatever reason compared to the rest.

Research Paper on Kicking
If anyone is interested and wants to be involved, I am writing a research paper on the environmental and psychological effects of kicking. Would involve 2-3 kicking charting sessions with 8 kicks, with one kick being "iced" so 9 in total. Ideally, you would record each session, and have someone randomly "ice" you. For anyone interested, comment below or shoot me a message and I can provide more specific details on how to do each session. Thanks.

@Arav Patel Details are in an earlier comment I made, if you need me to clarify something let me know. Would need it sometime in the next two weeks if you decide to do it. Thanks.

@Max McDermott Whatever works, it can be rolling or separate clips, they just have to be consecutive like a charting session. Thanks.
