Special teams can win or lose a football game, so having a great kicking game is important. Bill Renner was a punter for Virginia Tech and for the Green Bay Packers. He wrote a great book called "Kicking the Football: Skills and Drills for Place Kickers and Punters".
In "Kicking the Football", Renner covers overall step-by-step techniques for placekicking and punting. He breaks it down so it is easy to follow and teach. It even has over 20 drills to help improve your kicking. This book will also help plan practice for the kicking team. If you are a kicker, this will give you drills to help you improve your game.
Are you having problems with the kicker and don't know how to improve his game? "Ask the Coach" is a trouble shooting guide to answer most kicking questions. For example, if the kick is missing left or right, why is it and how can you fix it?
The book also teaches team kicking like how to kick to part of the field. There are also charts on how to time kicks. He also covers situational punting. If you want to prepare throughtout the year, he has suggestions on year- round training programs. If you are a kicker and the team doesn't practice year-round, this will help you stay in game shape.
This is a great book for any kicking coach or kicker. The only thing Renner doesn't cover is techniques for straight-on kickers.
