My progress
This week was not as exciting as the last because there were no major accomplishments. This week I just kept working hard. I got into week two of my workout routine. The game this week was average as well I went about 60 percent on my touchbacks this is becoming normal for me. In one game this year I kicked more touchbacks than I did all of last year. This week during practice I stuck with my roots and did heavy technique work making sure the fine details are still prevalent in my swing. Something I noticed is that a lot of the balls I kicked were hugging the left upright and when I missed a deep field goal It was left. I think this is the result of my plant foot being too close and hitting the right panel of the ball rather than the seam. This is a relatively easy fix. I just need to be more direct with my swing to keep my foot on the seam and I need to work on my shoulders getting set and having my right pec pointed to the seam. This helps with your plant foot. During the game I also noticed my get off time was slow; this resulted in a point after being blocked. Having a kick blocked is easily one of the most frustrating things to happen to a kicker. The good news is that this is a very easy fix. I just need to work with my snapper and holder to get a rhythm down. Working out/ Weight update I am slowly but surely building up in weight again. I checked in at 178 after my workout. This is good progress. I plan to reach 180 by the end of this week. This would put me much closer to my threshold. My workouts this week involved more heavy band work to increase my leg speed.
