I am often surprised by how many really good kickers can't punt traditionally. Why? I think much of it has to do with fooling around with it and "failing" to make the kind of contact and results you get when you placekick. The mechanics aren't that much different, but you do have the added issue of hitting a moving target instead of a stationary one. Why practice punting? • You're already the kicker... you're the most likely to become the starting punter. • You already have most of the mechanics you need. • If you're not the starting punter, you are the obvious choice to be the back-up. • Why wouldn't you? Wouldn't you like to be an even bigger part of the game? • It ain't hard to do — practice kicking and punt back through the posts. • You won't blow your leg out. Just be purposeful about each skill. • Remember, job #1 is "catch the ball", then do what comes naturally. • CREATE YOUR OWN CONFIDENCE and GO FOR IT! So here are the basics to get you on the right path.
