Great post, we are definitely in a new era of kicking performance.

Best explanation I can think of for this inflection point is increased and earlier specialization such as the advent of kicking academies and camps, which seem to have lifted the art form.

Same goes for long snappers and punters, with the antipodes getting special recognition for transforming punting technique thanks to expats from Australian Rules Football. That sport is dominated by power forward-like athletes who can kick accurately and for distance with either foot.

Author: Go Green [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:45:54 10/02/25 Thu In the old days, it was hard to kick on a muddy and/or chewed-up field. And rain, snow, and even the wind could affect a kick. Today's field turfs provide ideal conditions for kicking. Lot more indoor stadia (at least at NFL level) as well.
