29 Sep 11 Kicking on a Budget
Unfortunately not everyone is fortunate enough to be ‘rolling in the dough’. I understand not everyone has the money or the means to hire a private kicking coach to teach their son the fine art of placekicking and punting. Well with this said, over the years Kicking World has created a cost-effective way to get ANYONE the training they deserve, no matter where you live and what your economic status is; we have a solution for you!
Coach Brent Grablachoff started Kicking World a couple years after his college football career. At the beginning of his humble start he didn’t always have hundreds of kicking students like he does today. He started small just like any business, but with consistent hard work, referrals and results he obtained for his students; the business grew fast! When he first started his objective was to create a means for anyone to see him for kicking lessons and no one would ever be turned away. Now as Kicking World has grown to a world-class leader in Personalized Kicking & Punting Instruction, there’s not enough time in the day for him to service everyone. So Brent created a very economical package that will get you great training for a low price. Of course seeing him and his staff in person for private lessons or a camp is the BEST solution, but in case that is not an option for you, we have some great ideas to help get you kicking on a budget!
1. Virtual Private Lesson
What is this you may ask? Well it is a way for you to get a ‘jump start’ on your kicking by sending Coach Brent recent video footage of you kicking or punting.

In addition to the ‘virtual private lesson’ over the phone, you will also get an e-mail recap of everything so you can have it on hand and available to reference as you begin your new training regime!

18 Jun 10 How to Kick a Football Farther!
Every week I hear “What can my son do to strengthen his leg and kick a football farther?” Today I’m going to give you a few tips to help improve your kicking and punting distance. Contrary to popular belief, kicking a football far is not necessarily due to a ‘strong leg’ but more commonly it is due to a ‘fast leg’ and precise ball striking. One of the easiest ways to immediately improve your distance is to work on striking the ball’s sweet spot with the correct part of your foot. You want to hit the ball with the upper instep of your foot (right at the second shoelace loop from the top of most soccer cleats). If you strike the ball down by your toe or on the middle/side of your foot you’re going to lose a ton of power! You also want to make sure your ankle and knee are ‘locked’ at impact. If you keep your leg or foot loose at impact you will severely cut down your power. In field goal kicking, punting, and kickoffs you want the ball to explode off your foot. See below for two excellent videos that will help you understand the above points.
To improve your leg speed there’s several things you can do and here’s a couple quick tips that will help you:
- Isometric Resistance Band Training (builds the fast-twitch muscle fibers)
- Sprinting short distance (20 to 30 yard wind sprints)
- Improving Flexibility/Stretching (allows your leg to snap through quicker)
- Leg swing motion in shallow end of pool (water resistance improves balance and speed)
Here’s 2 free instructional videos on our YouTube page that will help you with precision and power and kick the football farther. For detailed training tips, practice routines, kicking and punting fundamentals, techniques, mental training tips and more check out the Complete Guide to Kicking & Punting Book!

27 Jul 08 North Texas Kicking Camp 7-26-08 RE-CAP
We had the University of North Texas kicking camp at Fouts Field yesterday in Denton, Texas. I took a tour of the UNT campus the day before the camp and was thoroughly impressed with the updated facility and all they have goung on at the school. Their football team is on the rise and they got a new coach who should be cranking up the program quickly. The camp was a success and we had a lot of great talent there. The temperature read 105 degrees outside the stadium but on that field turf stadium I believe it was over 115 degrees! While the temperature was hot, I believe the kicking talent was hotter!
Robert S. won the ‘most accurate field goal kicker’ award for the 15+ year old competition group. He won a pair of Coreshorts compression shorts. Garret C. won the under 15 year old competition group and won the UNT logo apparel. He is only 13 years old and kicked as well as most high school upper-classmen! Ian M. won the most accurate punter award and won the kicking world logo apparel. Everyone did well in both the instruction portion of the camp and the competition.
At the end of the camp every parent spoke with me and/or e-mailed me how much of a good time their sons had at the camp and how beneficial it was for them in getting ready for the 2008 football season. 3 of the students want to set up private lessons in the near future, so it looks like I might be making a trip back to Texas very soon for a group lesson weekend. If you live in the Texas area and want to take part in the next camp or be a part of the group lesson we are scheduling, please give me a call.
Since it was my first time in Texas, I’ve included some pictures of my trip in Dallas and Denton. My favorite stop was at Rudy’s where I had peppered tenderloin, corn on the cob, and home-made potato salad. Texas sure does everything BIG and I noticed how much pride Texans have in their state by seeing the Texas state flag flown everywhere I went! Also I saw the southern hospitality by the nice and calm demeanor of the people and friendly and helpful attitudes. I enjoyed my trip and anticipate coming back soon.
Watch this video testimonial from one of the standout high school kickers who attended the Texas kicking camp:
