    this is awful even tho this is beginning football this is horrible instruction. do not teach kids to punt this way. you should take a 2 to 3 step drop never step back before you kick punting is as much about quickness as it is about distance and hang time. it is not the snappers job to make sure the laces are up either. there are so many things you did not even touch on such as the angle of the ball, how the foot should make contact with the ball, THE IMPORTANCE OF STRETCHING and being limber, swinging your leg on a plane parallel with the direction you want the ball to go, keeping your toe pointed, follow through bringing your knee as close to the face mask as possible, the three ONE handed grips, the importance of the drop and how to not push the ball or throw it up on the release. these are just a few things that need to be addressed even with the beginners. good fundamentals...

    This series has some great tips for any aspiring kicker. I watched John Millar place the ball on the 5 yard li/ne in front of 30,000 fans at Oregon State University. Great punter, excellent video series!
