- Replying to @RassieRugbyWas just thinking how crazy it would be if you played Eben at 4, PSDT at 5, Sia at 6, Duane at 7 and Wiese at 8. With Mosterd, Kwagga and RG on the bench. Absolutely nuts!
- Swing forward = no hurdle = touchbacks with less strain and less effort.
00:00 - Great day in the lab. This drill is a game changer. @ProFormKicking
00:00 - Probably one of the cleanest 70yd fieldgoals Ive hit in a training session. Its easier to get this sort of distance driving the ball low but to achieve it with great height is all the more challenging. What are your thoughts on longer fieldgoals ?
00:00 - Boys, contact isn't just on your foot. Make "contact" with your entire body. You're losing so much potential by focusing on how your foot meets the ball instead of how your body meets the ball.
00:00 - Looking to be more balanced, free and natural during your swing? The answer is always more width. You cannot meet the ball with momentum if you're swinging at the ball and/or if your plant foot is too narrow. Do this drill immediately and dont stop untill you figure it out.
00:00 - Major difference between a "fast leg" and a quicker swing path. Everyone can create a quicker swing path. There's a difference between what feels powerful and what is powerful. A quicker swing path will do more for you than a "fast" leg and a big powerful swing.
00:00 - Now 16, Isak Cloete 🇿🇦 has been training with me since he was 10 years old and you can see what happens when you totally buy into the technique. 50 yards no tee ? Easy!

- (Soccer goals at 75yards) The aim was to clear the crossbar with atleast 4.0 hangtime. 75yd+ with 4.0+ hang would qualify as a top quality kickoff. What do you think ? @IsaacPunts
00:00 - Does it look like I'm breaking my back to kick the ball 55+ ? Thats the difference in the end. 60 - 70% effort - controlled and efficient because the energy isn't coming from the kicking leg alone. There's much more potential available and anyone can learn and get good at this.
00:00 - Your swing plane (amongst other things) is a mirror reflection of the angle of your plant leg. This is one of the reasons I teach a wide plant foot location to my students. Wider plant = more vertical and forward swing = more controlled power and less variables to time up.
00:00 - I read "working on consistency" and think OK, do you know what that means ? Consistency is found in the reduction of variables - SO are you reducing variables OR are you getting better at managing lots of variables ? There is a Big difference! @ProFormKicking @Shaynegraham17
