This week we were going to play Glenn but the game was canceled due to weather. This week during practice I was kicking and punting very well. My body position while I kick has created some inconsistencies with things like accuracy and my follow through. This is something I have always had issues with and it seems to be more severe now that the past couple of years. A good way to explain what I mean by body position is where I am leaning when I kick the ball and where my follow through step ends up. My position when I kick the ball is a heavy lean left with a follow through step almost horizontal of my plant foot. This is not good at all. I think this inconsistency is the reason 90% percent of the football I miss are left. Some things I can do to fix this are getting more core more involved and staying vertical when I kick the ball while also using my swing to carry me down the field. Using my core will help me create a balance when I kick so I can stay vertical while still generating as much force to hit the ball with. My swing when working without a tee was terrible. I was swinging down. This means my ball won’t get the height that I would with a normal kick. Working out I bought a workout band to help get faster leg speed. I learned this from a kicker committed to ASU. I have already seen some improvements with my ball and leg speed. Having fast leg speed makes up for a lot of inconsistencies you might have. I have started to work out a little less and I think this might continue because of school work and football practice.
