The second video in this five part series will introduce you to some of the topics we will cover regarding the concepts and fundamentals of coaching your kicking specialist.
This includes evaluating your kicking specialist using your practice and/or game video. It also includes how to shoot video for the best evaluation.
There have been many times that I have been asked to evaluate a kicking specialists performance from video that was not shot correctly. This included both game and practice video that would not allow me to evaluate the kicker properly.
So in this clinic, I stress the importance of shooting both effective game and practice footage, and work with both coaches and player on how to 'shoot to evaluate'.

* Drills to correct poor technique.
