TRAINING VIDEO APRIL 2012:

Big time power. Kicking off thru a crosswind from the 35 yd line this high school player is already, blasting the ball out of the back of the endzone. From the 40 yd line this kick would be off the goal post. Improving balance and position sequencing his improving his speed and trajectory and still has much more potential as he masters his techniques. He is committed to train the entire year with Coach Assad to work on his trajectory of ball flight.
