This is why I love what I do. Today I received a great testimonial from one of the parents of the kids we've been training.
"Alex has learned so much from Coach Husby and his staff. We can not thank Chris and his staff enough for the impact they have had on Alex. Alex wishes the actual sport of Football was all year round. Thank you again for working with Alex during the off season."
Ken and Chris (Parents of St Francis Long Snapper)

I have recently received a few Kicking Testimonials from some of the parents and athletes I train. I'm really excited to share some of them with you. Once I finished pursuing my NFL dream as a Punter and Kicking specialists, I wanted to get into coaching and give back to the kicking community. The great feed back that I've received solidifies why I truly love giving Kicking Lessons and even Long Snapping Lessons. I just love seeing athletes improve and watching them reach their personal goals. I do also give thanks to our talented coaching staff that has support me over the years. Meet our Coaches.
"Coach
Husby has helped me make large strides this year as a punter. He has
helped me learn the art of a successful punt through technique and
attention to detail." -Nick Martin (Wayzata P/QB)
"Alexi
was looking for a coach, and after discussions with several kickers and
coaches in the Twin Cities, it was clear that working with Chris would
be a tremendous opportunity for our son.Alexi's
kicking has become more accurate and more powerful since working with
Chris. This is due to his eye for detail and his ability to help
kickers understand the mechanics behind kicking as well as the physical
background behind being a top notch kicker. His biggest improvements
have been his accuracy and distance. He
was named All metro and All state in 2011. We give all that credit to
Chris for helping our son." -Tim Johnson (Parent of Shakopee Kicker)
Video Kicking Testimonial
"I
appreciate the "whole team approach" in training not simply the field
goal kicker but also the snapper and the holder as well. As a realtor, I
understand the importance of surrounding oneself with competence in
order to deliver a profitable closing. Chris does this in his field. He
trains all the players with one common goal. This approach gets results."
-J. Tacheny (Parent of Stillwater Kicker)
"My
son is a soccer player interested in additional opportunities as a
field goal kicker in high school. Chris Husby's lessons, clinics and
mentoring were exactly what he needed. We have seen significant
improvements in accuracy, consistency, and distance. Chris has done an
excellent job helping my son prepare for opportunities at the high
school and potentially the college level later on. Thanks Chris!" -Doug
(Parent)
"Alex
has learned so much from Coach Husby and his staff. We can not thank
Chris and his staff enough for the impact they have had on Alex. Alex
wishes the actual sport of Football was all year round. Thank you again
for working with Alex during the off season." - Ken and Chris (Parents
of St Francis Long Snapper)
Thank you everyone for all of your support of what I do and even the work from our team!
I was a Division 3 punter and kicker and played football at the University of St Thomas. I also was a 6 year NFL Free Agent Punter. I found this great article about the "Reality of Small College Recruiting." It is worth the read and consideration for schools to play for.
Here's my story as to why a Smaller Div 2 or 3 school isn't that bad.
I had a great career at Armstrong High School. But I as plagued with a knee injury in the middle of the season which most likely eliminated my chances of playing Div 1 football. The kicking points I had, combined with the points scored by the back up kicker, would have made me one of the top metro kickers.
I was recruited by St Thomas to play. They were a great football program in Minnesota. But just like the article states I had no idea who they were until another football friend told me about them. I looked into them and they were well known for their business program which I was interested in. I was recruited by a few other programs, but ultimately chose St Thomas. I was able to play Football and pursue a business degree. St Thomas was one of the best experiences of my life, both athletically, socially and academically. As the article states "...smaller colleges
are better for the student, keeping them engaged and excited about
learning. Those smaller classrooms are able to give you personal touch
and one-on-one experience with your teachers and fellow classmates, then
the lecture halls with 300+ students," which I loved.
On a sports related side, in my final year of football, I had the best punting year of my life. I was one of the top punters in the conference, and for most of the year, one of the top 15 or so punters nationwide. I had a cannon for a leg. Based off my last year, I was recommended by coaches and friends to pursue the NFL. I started training for it. I attend the Louie Aguiar/Michael Husted Free Agent Pro Scout Combine and it was a great experience. In my first year there, I was one of two Division 3 kicker/punters there. I attended that Combine over the next 4 years, and each year, more and more Division 3 athletes started to attend.
To make a long story short. If you are a great kicker, punter and long snapper, and you have the abilities and dreams to pursue professional football and the NFL in the end. It doesn't 100% matter what level of football you played for. It doesn't 100% matter what your body shape and size is. If you can make a field goal from 45-50 yards out, or punt a 45+ yard punt with 4.5 second hang time, you can do it and will have a chance. Maybe a big Division 1 program is sexy to NFL scouts because you played on a higher pressure stage, but in the end, it's all about your abilities and you can do it.
Don't be afraid to consider a Division 2 or 3 program. You'll get a great education, and more times than not, you have that to fall back on if you don't make it to a pro level.
