Your stance must be functional and aid you in performing the motions and movements require to punt or placekick. Getting into a proper stance is a football skill you can practice repeatedly and easily both on and off the field. Use a mirror if you must to make sure you're adopting the correct stance.
The initial steps taken by a punter and/or kicker at the beginning of a play will greatly influence the outcome of the kick.
When you watch an excellent kicker, you'll see how consistent they are in their approach to the ball. Consistency is repetition and repetition breeds success.
Once you're comfortable getting into a stance and beginning your approach, the next technique to work on is your actual kicking motion. It's imperative you've got your setup and approach down before you move on to the actual kicking of the ball.
Don't rush! Trying to learn everything at once is nearly impossible and will cost you more frustration than slow, proper, steady progress through each step. Don't even utilize a ball at first. Once you're comfortable with everything involved in shadow kicking, you can move on to the real thing.
Tune in next time as we dig in to more kicking and punting!
