The
Kicking.com Stretching Program©
Stretching is a very important part of becoming a good kicker or punter. When I was taught the proper kicking techniques early in my college career, I realized I had a problem. My body was unable to execute the proper techniques because I lacked the necessary flexibility. Over the course of the off-season before my junior year in college I stretched rigorously for about a half hour a day. I stretched so intensely that for about the first month I actually lost flexibility because I was so sore. But slowly the soreness began to disappear and I started to become more and more flexible. Today I can do the splits in a forward position and come fairly close in the side position. If you follow this program wholeheartedly you will undoubtedly realize the same results because I am not a naturally flexible person. Once you have the necessary flexibility you will be amazed at how much more fluid your technique will become and how much less you will experience injuries.
Included with your Stretching Strap is a comprehensive and illustrated stretching program that utilizes all of the benefits of the Stretching Strap. I recommend you follow this routine. This routine will fulfill the static stretching aspect of the program. I recommend you do your static stretching after a brief warm-up. Your active stretching program will follow the static stretching program. Use
this routine as a supplement to your normal
strengthening program.
If you do not have a program, check out my Click
to Kick™ CD-ROM for a complete kickers
off-season strengthening program.
You should try to do this at least four times
a week and definitely every time you kick.
