[QUOTE="Pointer, post: 821378, member: 4719"] I really don't think many college football coaches know any kicking mechanics in the way they know about throwing mechanics. What you then need is a player who can kick the range you want and accurately. Most college coaches do not have the capacity to work on this aspect beyond scheduling the mandatory practice time. What they can do to help a kicker is create high pressure game situations in practice to help prepare the kicker mentally, especially if the physical and muscle memory qualities are already there. Does anyone know if we are doing that with the kickers? I recall when Butker was here, they would end practice with him making a high pressure kick that determined if practice was extended (or extra sprints or something). This is the type of stuff a coach can do for a kicker. [/QUOTE]
