November is the time of year when legs start to get tired. Kickers have been at it nearly every day since early August. "Dead leg" starts to set in. How can you prevent it? Or, keep it from getting worse?
Keep in mind that now your diet, sleep habits, and number of reps become even more important than they were six months ago. Pay attention to the following tips:
The best kickers in the league are the ones that work hard on the field, in the weight room, AND when they go home. They are very disciplined in their routines and work habits. Their routines consist of keeping a regularly healthy diet, drinking high volumes of water, and going to bed at a decent hour. Their livelihood depends on all these things. Even as young kickers, you should make an extreme commitment to a quality routine that consists of productive habits.
