GUEST EXPERT ARTICLE
I always tell young kickers that good coordination and athletic ability is important if you want to excel. I encourage young athletes to participate in various drills during football practice that are designed to get you in better condition and improve your athleticism.
I am also convinced that playing various sports will improve your athletic skills. You don't need to specialize in just one sport, especially at a young age.
Many of you have asked me how to learn more about kicking technique. The Jan Stenerud kicking tee is carried by most Wal-Mart stores, and it includes an instructional booklet. called "The Art of Soccer-Style Kicking," the booklet is a valuable resource to young football players if you are serious about improving your kicking technique.
Good luck, and I look forward to receiving more of your questions!
