2017 NJ Spring Camp Recap, Warren Wins It!

April 22, 2017 By

The road to Vegas 30 continued in New Jersey recently.  The largest group of specialists we’ve ever had on the east coast assembled to learn and compete at the highest level.  Athletes from 15+ states were in attendance looking to take their game to the next level.  For the first time since Will Reichard (2019, AL) did it in 2016, a freshman stepped up and won the camp.  Congratulations to Evan Warren from Maryland!  Take a look at all the results….

Overall Camp Champion – Evan Warren (2020, MD)
Evan did a great job stepping up when it counted the most on this day.  He won a major field goal competition and then was able to outlast his competition in the head to head finals.  He has a great leg for his age and shows excellent ability to kick under pressure.  Look for Evan to compete with the best kickers in this class over the next several years.

Field Goal Champion – Davis Wagner (2018, PA)
Davis is an excellent kicking talent.  He has one of the stronger legs in his class and shows big time potential.  He has great range on field goal and hits an outstanding “A” ball.  Also hits a nice ball on kickoff at times.  Once he improves his technique and consistency, he will challenge at any college level.  Look for Davis to have a big showing at Vegas 30 this May.

Kickoff Champion – Zach Sterr (2018, NJ)
The long time Chris Sailer Kicking K/P is really starting to come into his own.  He is hitting a strong ball off the ground on field goal.  His kickoffs are impressive and nearing D1 ready.  He also has the size, strength and athleticism to dominate as a punter.  This is an area that he could make a name for himself with continued hard work.  Zach is a talented combo prospect that will have a nice college career.

Punt Champion – Brandon Caffrey (2018, PA)
Brandon is a very good high school punter.  He has a big leg and shows he can hit a college level ball at times.  He does a great job of stepping up under pressure.  As he continues to refine his technique and become more consistent, he will catch the eye of college coaches.  The tools and potential are there for Brandon to play at the next level.  Look for Brandon to have a big off season.

It’s Almost Spring & You’re a 2017 Kicker/Punter, Now What?

March 1, 2017 By

This is easily one of the top questions I get from senior Kickers/Punters and/or their parents. Here are the answers:

  1. You should definitely be at Chris Sailer Kicking Camp to stay sharp, focused, continue to learn how to handle pressure and show absolute dominance.
  2. If you are uncommitted, read THIS and THIS and get yourself ready for VEGAS 30 for a final push at exposure.
  3. If you are committed, you need to push yourself even harder. Dominate every camp. Commit yourself to not being stagnant.

All seniors and their parents need to remember, while you still have some time left in high school, colleges and their football programs aren’t stopping to wait for you. They have several Kickers & Punters on their roster and they already hate you for even thinking you will attempt to take their jobs come the summer time. (Fast forward a few years and think about how you will feel being on the other side)

I have done this many times and  have seen countless senior Kickers & Punters coast through their senior year only to find a nice spot on the bench come fall. Coaches call me continuously asking how the Kickers & Punters that they recruited are doing. Needless to say, they are not happy when I tell them “Oh, I haven’t seen him since VEGAS XXIX”!

The senior Kickers & Punters that keep working and attending camps are the ones that start.  It’s like clockwork.

Never rest and never stop improving seniors. See you soon!

To be the best, train & compete with the best!

Recruiting Simplified

March 1, 2017 By

Recruiting is full of ups and downs, full of emotional highs and lows, full of stress… but ultimately the prize at the end of the process will be well worth it…. IF you handle the process correctly.

Here is a guide for Kickers & Punters , in its simplest for, to live by.

Freshman Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons, Camps, Vegas, Underclassmen Invitational).

Sophomore Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons, Camps, Vegas, Underclassmen Invitational).
– Attend 1 or max 2 college camps simply for experience.

Junior Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons).
– Dominate competition (Camps, Vegas, TOP 12 Camp, FBU Top Gun, College Camps).

Senior Year:
– Focus on getting better (Lessons).
– Dominate competition (Camps, Vegas).
– Be patient.  Recruiting does not end on signing date (NLOI) in February. Recruiting ends in August once Fall Camps begin.
– Realize that lessons and camps do not end once you commit, in fact they are just as important or even more important.  Those who continue to stay focused will be ready for college.  Those who don’t, will sit on the bench in college. Attend regional camps, attend Vegas, attend the CSK College Camp that summer.

If you are not committed by signing day (NLOI) here are some tools to use to find the right college fit:
– You are part of the majority, not the minority.  Take a look: 2017 Rankings as of 3/1/17
– Every college will take 1 Kicker and 1 Punter per year on average.  There are hundreds of colleges, do the math.  There are opportunity out there.
– Be proactive.  Sitting on your couch and waiting for a call is not going to work.  Sending emails without any action is not going to work.  Waiting on your high school coach or Chris Sailer is not going to work.
– Visit colleges, get on campus! This will show a coach genuine interest.  Get face time and tell that coach that you want a roster spot and a chance to compete.  Don’t just ask for a scholarship.
– Be open to MANY colleges, not just a short list.  Dedicate the months of March, April, May & beyond to this task.
– Use NCSA, they will hook you up with many options.
– In the end, I believe everything happens for a reason.  You will end up where you belong as long as you are open minded.  Choose the school that is right for you.  Transferring should not be an option.
