At the beginning of the video, please provide a brief description of the specific area(s) you wish to have analyzed, and what specific problems you are having.   Whether you are requesting  analysis of placekicking, punting or kickoffs, only the first 20 kicks will be analyzed (for example, if you want field goals and kickoffs analyzed, videotape a good representative sample of each.  If you want field goals and punts analyzed, videotape 10 of each.  If you want all 3 analyzed, video any combination, up to 20 kicks).  Please provide kicks from different angles.  See the diagram at right for required camera positions for KICKING

For field goals and kickoffs, show how you determine the angle from which you will kick.  Record yourself getting into the kicking position (for example, show how many steps you take back from the tee and how many steps you take to the side).  Continue recording through the follow-through after you have made contact with the ball.  DO NOT pan to the football going towards the goalposts. 

If you wish to add commentary after each kick, please feel free to do so (for example, “I kicked the ball very high, it spun very fast but fell short” or “I kicked a line drive”). 
 
 
 

If you requested PUNTING  analysis, the camera positions shown at left are required.

You will receive a personalized video addressing the specific problems of your form.  My response will be filmed on Hi8 video film and transferred to your original VHS video.
