31 Jan 10 How to Strengthen Your Kicking Muscles and Kick Farther
I highly recommend all of my kicking students to strengthen their hip flexor muscles and kicking muscles. It’s important to stay healthy and injury free and a great way to do this is to strengthen your hip flexors, quadriceps, and hamstrings muscles. Speaking from experience, I know how important it is to train your hip flexor muscles. At a kicking workout I tore my hip flexor and it is a hard injury to recover from! Please reference the following resources that will help you train for kicking, strengthen your muscles to prevent injury, and increase your kicking power.
Athletic Quickness: “Kick Farther and Run Faster Training Program”
Why Buy: To strengthen your hip flexor muscles and help increase the ‘fast-twitch’ muscle fiber speed of your legs. This can help contribute to a faster kicking leg and improved power as you kick field goals, kickoff, or punt. If you want to kick longer field goals, kickoffs, or punts; I recommend picking up this program!
Price: $27.95
Kicking World: “Complete Guide to Kicking & Punting”
Why Buy: This is a complete book to help teach you everything you need from kicking fundamentals, techniques, form, practice routines, training program, weightlifting program, strength & speed tips, kicking equipment suggestions, and mental game preparation. This book is loaded with everything you need to take your kicking and punting performance to a whole new level!

18 Jan 10 Disappointing Day for San Diego Chargers’ Nate Kaeding
I was at the game yesterday and it was terrible to watch, especially as a kicking coach. Nate Kaeding solidified himself as the most accurate kicker in the History of the NFL and has booted over 50 consecutive field goals inside 40 yards (up until yesterday’s loss) versus the New York Jets.
Nate, who was always a sure thing, missed 3 key field goals yesterday at Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego CA. As a kicker you have to have thick skin and be able to move on from a poor performance. I think this is going to haunt him for a long time. As a kicker, I feel bad that he couldn’t come through and know the frustration, loneliness, and sad feelings he is dealing with now. I am a bit concerned about his future with the Chargers. Although he has been Mr. Clutch during the regular season; if you look at his stats in playoff games, they are quite poor.
I wish Nate Kaeding the best and I hope things work out for him. As a Chargers fan and San Diego resident, this weekend has been a disappointment. But what else can you say except, let’s ‘get ‘em next year!’ GO Chargers!

13 Nov 09 Freshman Kicker Pulled Up to Varsity For Playoffs!
I got an e-mail today from one of my students’ Dad. I was pleased to find out that my student Christopher Gulla, freshman kicker at Toms River North High School in Toms River, NJ was pulled up to Varsity for the first playoff game this Saturday, November 14, 2009. His parents are extremely proud of him as I am. Christopher attended my 2009 New Jersey Kicking Camp in Toms River, NJ and he held his own for over 12 rounds of a ‘final elimination’ competition versus a 17 year old senior kicker!
I wish Chris much success in his first Varsity football game tomorrow and I wish the Toms River North Football team a great playoff run. Please read below for comments from Mr. Gulla, Christopher’s father:
“Chris has had a great season. He handled punts, kickoffs and PAT’s for both the freshmen and JV teams. As we enter the State playoffs Chris has been pulled up to Varsity and yesterday won the starting kicker job.
With your help and his dedication to practice, he is now kicking consistently down to the 5 yard line and regularly into the end zone. In practice he has also kicked several 50 + yard field goals. His first varsity kick off will be tomorrow night in our first round state playoff game.” (Dennis Gulla)

13 Oct 09 New Footballs for 2009-2010 Kicking Lessons
Starting this weekend I’ll be using Spalding J5V ADVANCE Footballs for all my kicking lessons and kicking camp students in 9th grade and up. They are the official ball of the CIF (California) Southern Section and just about every High School between Los Angeles and San Diego use them. I will be using them now too. Very soft leather, nice quality, build, and durable. A lot more expensive but hopefully my students will enjoy them and will help their kicking game since it will be the ball they use in High School. We will still continue to use Wilson TDJ Composite and Wilson TDY Composite footballs for our youth students. To order your own footballs- visit our official supplier at Wizard Kicking based out of Orange, California.

21 Aug 09 Kicking World Moves To San Diego, California
Coach Brent of Kicking World (www.kickingworld.com) has moved from Orange County, CA to Beautiful San Diego, CA! After a 2.5 year stint in Orange County and having lived in New Jersey his entire life prior to that, Coach Brent found a much better fit in San Diego.
“I’m extremely happy I made the move to San Diego. Everything is great here- the people, the weather, outdoor activities, food, the action, sports teams- Padres/Chargers, and the fact that everything is within minutes.”
Coach Brent moved to downtown San Diego and will now conduct private kicking lessons in San Diego. Since he has a lot of clients from LA and OC he will still drive up that way a couple times a month, but the majority of kicking lessons will now be offered in/around Central San Diego.
To arrange a private kicking lesson in San Diego or private punting lesson in San Diego, please call Coach Brent directly at 619-564-1333. You can also signup online at www.kickingworld.com under the ‘private lessons’ tab and fill out the registration form and pay online with a credit card. The private lessons are $70 per lesson or 5 lessons for $300. Each lesson is approximately 50 minutes long and it is truly ‘1 on 1′ and you work exclusively with Coach Brent.
