A fun, quirky exercise to visualize keeping your drop/drop arm still & increase the consistency of your release!
Remember:
1) the “drop” is actually a sum of several parts - drop arm position, body position, grip etc
2) no cell phones were harmed in…
Someone sent me this. It is a recruiting graphic from CU.
I was 100% allowed to live my dream and help develop into the man I am today because of Coach
@k_dorrell
❤️🏈 honored to be on with these absolute ballers.
What a top top class coach, man and mentor.
“But coach I feel like I get more power with 3 steps.” 🤦🏻♂️🙅🏻♂️ 47 yards - 5.1 hang - outside the numbers 🤷🏻♂️ Anyone else notice my boy
@ScottishHammer7
switched to a 2 step punt? With 3 steps, there is more wasted movement, over striding, bad body position etc!

I have said for YEARS - “Shoulders forward, arm relaxed.”
Why do I say that?
Putting your shoulders forward moves your hips back - think of EVERY movement you do in the weight room to become stronger… cleans, squats, box-jumps, deadlifts etc.…

PUNTING IS MUCH HARDER THEN KICKING AND REQUIRES MUCH MORE SKILL, PRACTICE & EXPERTISE
Let’s change the game! 1) I will now be the official third wheel to the biggest and best brand in Kicking and Punting, Chris Sailer Kicking & Rubio Long Snapping. 2) I will be running 10 PUNT ONLY camps across America in 2020. Let’s do this guys! 🏈👌🏻🔥

Punters -
I respect and care for you all so deeply. But if you tag me on social media & it’s a terrible song playing - profanity, weird lyrics or a whack beat - I may not repost it.
I hope you understand!

The reason I still spend hours upon hours on the field at 37 years old. The reason I send almost a hundred texts a day & take multiple calls. The reason I spend time posting your guys’ film. The reason I keep in touch with all my college guys on a daily basis. The reason I…

Boys please keep a good thought for my town tonight. We got hit with a massive tornado.
It came very close to our neighborhood but we were not personally
Affected.

13 YEARS AGO!!
I had no idea that would be the last time I would ever run out of a tunnel playing football.
My advice to all of you that my grandfather gave to me on our game day phone calls: “enjoy the moment buddy boy.”
It goes quick fellas. Enjoy every single moment.
♥️♥️
It is unfortunate and pretty sad that I have to say this but given what the current state of affairs are...
If any of you guys are ever psychologically struggling or feel alone / hopeless etc, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Positive chats and thoughts are my specialty 👍🏻
Punters: be weary of those who continually feel the need to tell you how good you are, or that you’re the “best.” It’s unfair. You shouldn’t want a coach to be your friend. Demand honesty, transparency and above all someone who is working just as hard as you to make you better 👍🏻
Would like 2 officially welcome

beat one of the most talented groups of punters in America with a 58+ 5.1+ ball after 3 days & 3 hours today.
What an unreal talent & great young man 🤝🏈
Boys. Seriously. Double / triple check before you post some of these hangtimes.
Seeing alot of 5s thrown around. With 20+ big-time collegiate punters in 95+ degree weather we had MAYBE 20 balls all weekend go 5+.
A 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 ball is good, ESPECIALLY for a HS punter!…

Punters:
Crazy days with recruiting. I get asked all the time what is best. Here is what I would say.
Rolling film. Never one punt.
If you’re serious it should be directional film with good get-off. Punting straight one time does not show much.
Show diversity in ability.
The beauty is in the

Most young punters should still be focused on hitting a good, consistent ball going STRAIGHT as of now in their off-season program!
“First punt well, THEN punt often!”
If you can not hit 7/8 out of 10 balls consistently with no rush or direction then WHY would you be working on…
For me, I see way to many specialist coaches putting labels such as “definite P5 player” or “full-scholarship kid” on their students. I understand it looks great on social media & makes your kid appreciate you.
But what happened to just simply labeling a player as a “very…
Again, I really wish some of these coaches would stop calling every kicker, punter & snapper “the best.” As I have always said, a player can be very good yet still have room 4 developemt. It does not help that player. Be professional. Be humble. Be supportive. Makes you look bad
Merry Christmas Eve boys
If anyone is alone or feeling down over the next two days…
PLEASE reach out and I can hop on a call or zoom whatever is easiest and make sure you know you have family here.
These days are about God, family, love & togetherness.

“Hook Punt” : a type of punt where the punter, in this case
@Jamie_Gillan10
, walks 2 the left & punts back across the field 2 the right. Can be used for keeping the returner on their toes, and for changing the coverage in the punt teams favor!

tip of the day! 👌🏻🏈
Fellas...
Even if just for one minute this weekend, please take the time to remember, give thanks and say a prayer for all the men and women who are serving, have served or have died protecting our country, the greatest damn country on earth ♥️🪖
Boys. Season has not even started for most of you! It’s a king, several month grind.
No reason to punt / kick to exhaustion now or during camp.
Recovery is key!
Good sleep
Good nutrition
Listen to your trainers for ice baths, stretch etc
Do NOT neglect getting 1-2 lifts…
I am super excited to announce a MASSIVE international partnership with Coach

Although many of the boys did not speak English, punting became our common language. It is such a blessing to share my life’s work with these Japanese athletes.
Massive thank you to Yuri Kondo for translating every word & making learning easier / more accessible.
Thank you to…
Remember, boys…
In a world where phrases like “the best” & “FullScholarship Guy” are being thrown around…
Being called hard-working, humble, coachable, talented & a great young man to be around are true compliments. They are a reflection of your character + ability!

January - April: build strength, de-construct bad technical habits + set a good foundation
May - June: Apply 👆🏻 to situational punting (direction, +50, etc) + condition legs

HQ is OFFICIALLY in Nashville boys.
This will be home to the best Punting Academy in the country.
Training, development, recruiting & placement assistance 👀
Big things coming 😎🤙🏼
I began coming up to Seattle for training weekends right around 3 years ago. This group of seniors were going into sophomore year.
After multiple trips a year and commitment from the boys, we now have punters from the greater Seattle area either attending or going to:
Idaho…
I don’t know who needs to hear this but....
Hitting 4.5-4.7 second punts are fantastic and worthy of posting, especially if they have good op time / direction.
Posting high hangs when they aren’t isn’t the way to go. Be proud of where you are and be honest with where you are.
One drop, one punt, one set, one session and one guy at a time. We are gonna do this fellas. Create the best generation of punters ever. Im committed. I’m all in. Let’s Frickin go dude!!
Today was one of those days I was reminded that I am living an absolute dream doing what I love as my job. 5+ hours, 9 punters, hundreds of punts. However it’s the relationships and time spent with the boys that truly are a blessing 👊🏻🏈 thank you all for today and the weekend
Everyone who works with me at any training, event or interacts with me on social media:
Respect.
Positivity.
Support.
Integrity.
Acceptance.
Love.
And then punting. Let’s make sure we all respect differences, pick each other up and remember we are all in this together❤️🤝
Trying to demonstrate a drop punt in Hoka shoes on a wet field when you’re 36 and apparently FRICKIN unable to balance is painful!
Landed flat on my back. Hit my head. While back cracked and now I’m walking leaning left.
What happened to being 22 and athletic!? 🤡
In my opinion, ALL punting at this point during preseason training should be:
1) directional
2) with your snapper (if possible)
3) as close to game speed as possible
4) workout & quality-based not quantity-based
Be sharp & be confident.
Congrats to the young buck

Punters 👇🏼
My opinion order of important punts to master
1) a consistent, directional spiral (works at all levels, maximizes distance & hang WITH location)
2) the Louie punt (can use in a drop punt situation for a bit more power, can use with a wind at back / cross wind)
3) a…
