| West Texas A & M Kicker Sergio Castillo, Jr. |
I first met Sergio Castillo, Jr. in 2010 when he came to Scottsdale, Arizona for a One on One Kicking Lesson. Since that time he has come back every year for repeated One on One Lessons to improve his technique and attended PRO Development Camps to get competition.

In the three years I have been working lessons and have the opportunity to be around Sergio, I can say this young man has a passion for kicking and is committed to becoming the best he can be, not only on the field but also as importantly academically. He has been a pleasure to work with and I can say I only wish the best for him and his family.
I know Sergio and his mother have sacrificed and saved money to attended PRO Development Camps and to continue taking One on One Kicking Lessons because his goal is to become the best college kicker he can be and have an opportunity to play in the NFL.
Each year I see improvement and which he continues to receive awards. Congratulations to Sergio for achieving another award for his kicking excellence after his junior season at West Texas A & M.

As a football kicking coach I am grateful to have had the immense pleasure of watching Sergio develop into a fine young man on and off the field.
