9 Year NFL Veteran & All Pro Kicker Mike Hollis - Kicking and Punting Instruction
by Mike Hollis
Description
Kicking and Punting are very intricate skills and require incredible attention to detail! Many relate kicking motions to the golf swing and there are very close similarities. However, kicking and punting involve full body movements which make these skills even more difficult to master than even golf! So, we’ve come up with a very unique analogy to relate a different sport most comparable to the way we believe kicking and punting really are! Learn how we use the mechanics of “Horse Polo” to teach proper kicking and punting fundamentals!
Having experienced playing at the highest level of football for 9 years and being chosen to play in the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, I know first hand what it takes to be an All Pro Kicker in the NFL! I have learned the proper fundamentals from my long time mentor, and senior ProForm Kicking Academy Coach, Jim Gaetano. Coach Gaetano and I have also helped develop NFL athletes like kicker Nick Novak of the San Diego Chargers and All Pro Punter Brian Moorman of the Buffalo Bills, as well as a number of AFL and Division 1 college level kickers and punters!
Here at ProForm Kicking, we are extremely detailed in our technique philosophies and we are very prideful in the success we’ve had, not only with our personal achievements, but our coaching as well! We take on a much different approach to the “common sense” type of kicking as we focus on a process which allows the athlete to take advantage of 100% of their body kicking the ball, which ultimately leads to more power and consistency using a much more “smooth” technique! There are hundreds of kicking and punting instructional videos on the market today, developed by a variety of athletes who have played at various levels of football. Because of the level of personal kicking and coaching success, and our different philosophies, ProForm Kicking Academy offers a variety of video clips that are unlike any others out there! Learn the most productive and efficient way to kick and punt, with “Pro” Form Kicking!

Coach Mike Hollis began his kicking career back in 1985 serving as the kicker on his junior high school football team and continuing throughout high school, college and eventually the NFL. After high school, Coach Hollis chose to play at the community college level and eventually walked on at the University of Idaho (Division 1-AA). He began his professional career in 1994 with the San Diego Chargers (pre-season only) and retired in 2003, spending 7 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 year with the Buffalo Bills, and 1 year with the New York Giants. During that time Coach Hollis:

Mike presently holds some very impressive rankings in NFL history.
