[QUOTE="AlabamaBuzz, post: 760046, member: 906"] Kicking, as in putting or free throws, is very much in the head. It is vitally important that the kicker not be thinking every time he walks on the field, "I may lose my job with this kick". It takes some special handling sometimes depending on kids' personalities to make sure they are able feel a sense of confidence and calm while kicking FG's and PAT's. It is best if you get a "cool hand luke" personality in a kicker, because it is much harder to screw them up mentally, as they are very self assured. I would think when coaches are recruiting kickers, they would look at not only their physical ability, which is REQUIRED, but also their personality and mental make up. FYI - I am NO cool hand luke. :) My putter grip proves it. :) [/QUOTE]
