The method I teach is based off a proven psychological theory called the Whole-Part-Whole Learning Theory. It consists of taking the entire punting motion and breaking it down in phases, where each phase has three levels of drills.

These levels are called elementary, intermediate and advanced. This section of the website will describe the elementary level. You may sign up for the Kicking.com membership if you want to get more information about the other levels, or purchase my "Punt-N-It" Instructional video.

How this works is related to when a baby learns to walk. The baby crawls on his hands and knees first (phase elementary). The baby is helped by an adult by grasping the adult's two index fingers and taking small steps (intermediate phase). The child will walk a short distance by himself or herself from one parent to the other parent (advanced phase). Once you have completed the drills, you can go back and exercise the entire motion. When you get to exercise the punting motion, DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE DRILLS YOU JUST COMPLETED!!!! Just let your body go naturally and see how much you have learned.

Let's start at the very beginning. The punt is a kick by a player who drops the ball and kicks it before it hits the ground. A punt usually occurs on fourth down, but is allowed at anytime. The punt is also typically used after a safety. The four ingredients of successful punting include:

1. Hang Time
2. Distance
3. Accuracy
4. Consistency

The elementary instructions I give for punting on this site are in six parts:

	I wanted to give you a tremendous report on the kicking strap I purchased from Kicking.com. When I originally purchased it, I was kicking about 45 yard field goals consistently (that was in March). My minor league season runs March through September, so no weight training can be attributed to this story. It was at least 90% the kicking strap. I am now in July just four months later, kicking 55 yards consistently. I recently made a 50 yarder and a 48 yarder in an All star game. My longest now is 60 yards. That is a gain of 15 yards in a very short time. One thing I noticed was the height on my kicks is tremendous. I also attribute that to the kicking strap. I am, on long field goals, making it nearly half way to the top of the goal post. On extra points now, I kick as high as the NFL regulation goal posts. Thank you so much for your website and this kicking strap. I even have had two NFL scouts call my agent for game and tape info!
