Chris Sailer Kicking – 2015 FL Recap Article, Punter Anckle Steps Up!

November 13, 2015 By

The Chris Sailer Kicking 2015 Fall Camp Tour rolled on with a recent stop in Delray Beach, FL.  The camp was filled with talented athletes that were ready to compete.  Take a look at the results.

Overall Camp Champion
Andrew Anckle (2016, FL) – Andrew is a talented punter that continues to improve in skill and confidence each time that we see him.  He won the punt competition by consistency hitting 40 plus yard punts with 4.4 plus second hang time.  He carried the consistent performance into the finals round and was able to outlast some excellent kickers.  Andrew a nice college prospect that will be able to compete at any level.

Field Goal Champion:
Noah Brunner (2016, KY) – Noah is a great kicking prospect.  His field goals are outstanding.  He has 55 plus yard range and gets great height off the ground.  His kickoffs are also college ready.  Noah is an experience player that does very well under pressure.  He will be a fine addition to any college football program.

Field Goal Champion:
Nolan Paussa (2016, NC) – Nolan is an excellent field goal kicker.  He is smooth and accurate off the ground.  His kickoffs are solid and show nice future college.  Nolan is a competitor that steps up under pressure.  He has the tools to take his game to the next level.

Kickoff Champion:

Other 2016 Standouts:
Santiago Arango – JC Kicker that has great ability.  Field goals and kickoffs are both solid.
Samuel Scharff – Strong legged senior with natural ability.  Big upside.

The Game Winning Kick!

November 12, 2015 By

It is what we live for, what we dream of, and for most of us the reason we choose to be a kicker… A chance to hit a GAME WINNER!!!  Of course in our dreams we always make the kick.  Reality says that its possible to make or miss that game winning kick and the result may effect the rest of your kicking career.  Great kickers are best judged by the ability to kick under the most extreme pressure situations.  These kicks account for less than 5% of what kickers actually do, but these are the kicks that are remembered the most.  So, the question is, how can you put yourself in the best possible position to make these kicks.  There is no simple answer, but there are ways to give yourself the best odds.

•    Play multiple sports from a young age (both individual & team).  The more you put yourself in competitive situations growing up, the more confident and prepared you will be down the road.  It is is fact!  The best athletes are the best kickers.  Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but the percentages are clear.  Athletes are the kickers that college coaches want to recruit and NFL scouts want to sign.  See the blog on What Qualities Make Up The Best Kicker: CLICK HERE
•    Learn proper kicking techniques from a young age (I suggest 6th-8th grade).  Creating good habits and avoiding bad habits is one of the best ways to establish great muscle memory.  The longer you wait, the harder it is to break bad habits.
•    Kick with confidence.  This comes from preparation.  Kicking is a year round sport.  Once you start kicking in high school, if you want to be the best, there is no off season.  This doesn’t mean that you cannot play other sports.  This means that you have to make time for kicking no matter the season.  Kick 3-4 days per week, watch film, lift regularly, focus on flexibility, and do your muscle memory drills seven days a week.
•    Muscle Memory!  A great kicker does, he doesn’t think.  Do your muscle memory drills seven days a week.  When the time comes, your muscle memory will take over.  No matter how nervous you may get, your body will only know ONE way to kick.  And you will make that big kick.
•    Routine, routine, routine!  Practice the way that you want to play in games.  Treat every kick the same from the first kick in practice to the last kick of your career.  Create a routine, both mental and physical, in your setup.  Go through the same mental process.  Once you get used to doing this, you will be able to block out fans, the size of the stadium, the lineman yelling at you, the hash mark you are on, the distance you are kicking from, and most importantly the magnitude of the kick you are about to attempt.

There is no guarantee that you will make every game winning kick that you will attempt in your career.  In fact, even the best of the best miss from time to time.  But there is a formula for making more of them than you miss.  Never focus on your last kick and always focus on your next.  Work hard, kick with confidence, and train like a pro.  I’ve seen hundreds of Chris Sailer Kicking students hit game-winners, and I’m looking forward to seeing thousands more join that list.  It is the best feeling in the world!

2015 NC Fall Camp Recap

October 10, 2015 By

The 2015 Chris Sailer Kicking Fall Camp Tour continued with a stop in Charlotte, NC on October 10th. The cold and rainy conditions didn’t make it easy on the participants, but football is played in poor weather all the time. The most prepared physically and mentally stepped up. Take a look at the results.

Overall Camp Champion: Cooper Graham (2017) – The Chris Sailer Kicking “Event Elite” Member was a standout from the minute the camp started.  He showed outstanding range on field goals, connecting from 50+ yards several times.  His kickoffs were all 65+ yards with over 4.0 second hang time.  He won the Kickoff competition with a 73 yard bomb.  The longtime CSK student is one of the very best in his class and should be a scholarship pick.

Field Goal Champion: Evan Davis (2019) – Evan Davis won the field goal competition by hitting 7 consecutive field goals, the last one coming from 52 yards out.  This was the first time in a few years that a freshman has won a competition.  Evan is a star in the making.  Look for him to be near the top of his class for years to come.

Punt Champion: Chris Dunn (2018) – Chris is a big time talent.  An incredible athlete that enjoys great success in all areas of the game.  His field goals and kickoffs are phenomenal for his class.  His punting is coming along nicely.  Chris has all the tools to be a dominating college player.

Best 2016 Prospect: JD Dellinger – The Chris Sailer Kicking “TOP 12” Member had another impressive day.  He was easily the most consistent field goal kicker at camp.  His kickoffs averaged over 65 yards with consistent 3.9 second hang time in the rain.  He also shows nice future punting potential.  JD is an experienced kicker that is ready for the next level both mentally and physically.  OFFER NOW!!!

Other 2016 Standouts:
Thomas Cook – Smooth and consistent. Thomas is a going have a great college career.
Jack Fonda – Shows nice college level ability.  The kicker does very well under pressure.
Jared Williams – Strong and athletic punter.  40+ yard average with solid hang time.

Other 2017 Prospects:
Jordan Stout – D1 prospect. Has the tools to compete with the best.
Clayton Howell – A top combo player in this class.  Does all 3 skills very well.
Connor Demaine – Has one of the strongest legs in his class.  Huge potential as both a kicker and punter.
Zach Stearns – Top field goal kicker.  Kickoffs are coming along nicely.
