Yeah... they just sit back and do better than so many people who have been kicking for years and years.

So, I found my notes, and in my script I apparently spelled it "Eidenburgh" hence the mistake in pronunciation. Good Catch, Gents!

I think improved sports science and better coaching means that kicking styles in gridiron, soccer, Aussie rules and both codes of rugby are closer than they ever have been in the past. It's the same for punting, virtually everyone uses some form of the drop punt now, whereas the old spiral techniques varied wildly from sport to sport.

Its really interesting how similar Football (Soccer) are so similar in terms of kicking. I one time brought my American Football to school and we used the goals as goal posts and they were kicking from 30-40 yards out and they had never kicked an American football before

you should rewrite it dude. American football is similar to football or rugby

would be fun to have them kick/catch punts too!

Finally? This has been the norm to get someone from the soccer team to kick for you for at least 30 years.

The follow through is necessary skill. One of the guys doesn't really follow through, and if he did he'd kick it at least another ten yards. But the guy that kicks he has a great falls through and a nice extension

Once you've built the quad and core muscles sufficiently, the rest is just technique, and young American football kickers that have never played soccer just don't have the technique down, usually because no one has ever taught them. - run up should be done on the balls of your feet to generate more momentum - the run up should be done at an angle to the ball, in order to strike with the correct part of your foot - the last step before planting should be the longest step of the run-up - plant foot's ankle bone should be aligned with the center of the ball - bring the kicking leg all the way back to the butt - the striking leg must be straight at the moment of impact -- no bend at the knee - tense and lock the striking foot at the moment of impact (consciously curling your toes helps) - make contact using the instep metatarsal bone (not square with the laces of the boot) Missing one or more of these steps will make the kick less powerful. The problem is youth American football teams commonly lack coaches that know all of these steps, and so kids just aren't taught them. Many of the kids end up having to figuring this stuff out on their own, as best they can.

@ImReverseGiraffe Жыл бұрын

From what I've heard, kicking an American football is all about hitting the correct spot. Kicking in soccer football (yes that's the offical name) is about knowing where and how to put your foot to manipulate the ball on a kick. I'm not surprised they're good at it.

@neilmanhard1341 Жыл бұрын

I think one reason the French dislike Americans is because we constantly butcher their language. Pronouncing Notre Dame as "note-r dame" vice "no-tra dahm" and New Orleans as "new or-leans" vice "new or-lens". Even Camp LeJeune as "camp le june" vice "camp le jun". Now the Scots are going to be upset. Good thing they are more patient and good humored than the French.

@joeterp5615 Жыл бұрын

Lol, some French just get upset because we exist. 🤣 If you flip things around though, Americans are generally very patient with those who can’t say our words correctly, as we are such a melting pot of different backgrounds and accents ourselves. No surprise that people have problems with other languages though, but thankfully when you travel, most people are just happy when you make any effort to use their language and don’t judge too harshly.

@@neilmanhard1341 That pretty much mirrors my experience and that of other family members too. Those Parisians are rough lol. But then again, they can be brutal on other french-speaking countries too, looking down on the french spoken by those from Quebec and others. It’s been many years (actually decades) since I’ve been to France though, so I’d love to give my poor french another shot soon.

@@joeterp5615 What I loved about Quebec, I was just a kid and couldn't speak any French, so I spoke only in English. Those French-Canadians always responded to me in French, pretending they didn't understand English. And, then said things, which I knew were about me, probably insults. I never felt welcomed. In English Canada (Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia), things were just fine. It never occurred to me that Parisians were the same.
