MLK (minor league kicker)
This will be a chronicle of my life as a minor league kicker. For those of you hundreds of kickers like myself who are not in the pros. The minors is a great place to keep in shape and most importantly showcase and improve. One day you will find yourself 30 years old on an awesome team, outstanding stats, great tryout results. Than just when you think you may have a shot to go pro. Training camp starts again for your minor league team. You realize you are just a MLK (minor league kicker). This is a position I know for the first time in (six minor league seaons)I am a minor league kicker.
So knowing that I work to be the best minor league kicker in the country. I did receive that title last year, however I had a lot to improve on.
This year I will focus on 100% extra points, and over 85% field goals. I work hard everyday to make sure I make my last kick of the year. Last season I missed a game tying 54 yarder in the conference title game in Seattle. I learned that I wore my leg out. I was kicking over 80 kicks a practice and 60 before a game. I will not let my team down this year.

 | Baseball was for me, too, a form of spirit-discipline, a way to make myself a better person-although I surely never sought discipline for such a reason. It became my Way, as the tea ceremony or flower arranging or the making of poems were the Ways of others. |  | | -- Sadaharu Oh | |
