This can also be an opportunity for you to get film of you kicking, punting or snapping, to update your highlight film collection or get on going updated film.
How To Create A Kicking Resume. I often get questions about how to prepare and send info to college coaches. If you attend many kicking camps or have played varsity a few years, often times it's challenging to keep all that information sorted. I tell the kids that I train to create a "Kicking Resume" to keep it sorted. Most of your parents know what the flow of a resume should look like. This can be used when pursuing College Athletics or for NFL Pro Prospects trying to pursue the NFL. It's a nice and condensed way to track your kicking (Punting or Snapping) history over your high school years. Create a word doc that lists everything you have done, so that when you have to fill out player profiles you
have all your stuff in one spot to forward to them and coaches. Also, when a college coach asks you for information about yourself and wants to see videos, you have everything together.
This can also allow you to justify some of your statistics. Many times Football Box Scores say you kicked a 60 yard Kickoff for a Touchback but in reality it was a 68 yard bomb. Well College coaches want to know that you have a leg. So if you were able to calculate your "actual" kickoff distance, list it here. Separate your kickoff yardage from your squib kicks. But I would list both stats. Like what your high school team reports, and also your kickoff average is without squib kicks and onside kids. It can also give you a chance to justify FG or PAT kicking, you can't control blocking or the hold as well, and you can notate that in a professional way. Saying your 24 for 28 makes one think that you missed 4 PATs, but if it was notated saying you were 24 for 28 (3 blocked) it can tell a different story. This can be applied for punters, long snappers or any position or sport that you want to Below I put together an example of what a kicking resume could look like.

Congrats to Reid
Taubenheim (1st Team All Metro Kicker- Farmington HS) and Alex
Macgregor (2nd Team All Metro Kicker- Zimmerman HS) on earning the Minnesota All Metro Award according to The Star Tribune MN Football Hub. This is the 2nd top honor before being named All State in Minnesota. Well deserved to two of the biggest Senior legs in Minnesota.
That's a clean
sweep this year for Special Teams Football
Academy Kickers taking both spots.
They didn't list punters on these lists this
year, so just wanted to congratulate Connor
Bolduc (Mahtomedi HS) on having the best punting average in the state of MN
at 42.2 yards a punt.
Two kickers had phenomenal games kicking. Carter McCauley of Owatonna HS and Alexi Johnson of St Johns University both had record breaking games. In the
Minnesota State Quarterfinals, Carter McCauley tied a state record with 4 field goals in 1 game as well as converting all 3 of his PATs for 15 game points. Alexi Johnson converted both of his 2 Field Goals to set a new freshman record for St Johns University with 11 FGs in a season. Alexi is having a great freshman season. Carter earns our Special Teams Player of the Week honors for the
Minnesota State Quarterfinals. Congrats and good luck in the State
Semi Finals!
