Coaches, your kickers & punters are like pitchers - they need to be on a pitch count! Asking a kid to hit 20 kickoffs or 50 punts is like asking a pitcher to throw 200 pitches. Their leg is fried after that! Protect your guys from over hitting and it will pay off in the games

Kickers & punters - during this time of year, protect yourself! You shouldn’t be hitting a million kicks 2-3 days in a row for visiting coaches. Don’t burn yourself out. Plan a few kicks that shows what you can do but keeps you healthy. Be respectful, but know your limits

The new NFL kickoff rule just extended the career of every older FG kicker in the league, and it also devalued every single punter/kickoff guy in future drafts. The easiest path the league used to be P/KO, but now hangtime on kickoff doesn’t matter at all. Mind blown 🤯

Punters - unless you’re training for the draft, avoid using NFL footballs. They are much rounder & have a bigger sweet spot, which will encourage your drop to be too flat when you go back to the college ball. Stick to what your school uses & get your nose down! #SpecOpsST

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a coach: The language surrounding technique is what unifies player & coach. You both have to speak the same language and see things the same way in order to get better- this is true for QB’s, linebackers, kickers, punters & snappers! 🦅

Sometimes missed kicks are because the holder missed the spot, or the timing with the snapper is off. But the kicker is always the one to take the blame. Head coaches, QB’s and K’s- all the credit when you succeed, all the blame when you don’t. Just part of the job!

There’s no better feeling as a special teams coach than your guys converting the snap-hold-kick in a game winning situation! Congratulations to @liam_connor20 @SCandotti26 @mikewright_46 for their clutch performance tonight! #ForBoston

The nature of being a specialist is not about it you can do it…it’s about if you can do it again. #SpecOpsST

If you want to get a coach’s attention, do what NO ONE does. Write him a handwritten letter.

With the season winding down, I’m excited to get @SpecOpsST to work in So Cal coaching the K’s, P’s & LS’s in Orange County, San Diego & LA. If you want coaching from someone who has produced NFL, D1 & high academic college specialists, I’m your guy!

Kickers- As camp approaches, make sure that you develop a great relationship with your holder and your back up holder. Those guys are essential to your success and you need to make sure they will put in extra time with you to get the ball on the spot! Love them up!

Remember that your rest days shouldn't be just you sitting around - active rest leads to recovery. Roll out, ice baths, stretching and hydration lead to better performance. #SpecOpsST

Sam also didn’t punt for half the year because of an injury and put 4 punts inside the 10 and 2 inside the 5 IN ONE GAME. Congrats on a great year Sam!

Many people can’t afford private coaches, and unfortunately, being a specialist is so specialized that it becomes an access issue if you want to kick in college. #SpecOpsST is going to hold a free specialists camp in Oakland in June to try to help! Stay tuned Bay Area!

So excited to be visiting Maine for the first time since I graduated from Bowdoin in 2010. Coaching college football is what kept me away for so long, but @SpecOpsST is bringing me back! Excited to help the program with their special teams. Go Polar Bears!

Our Stanford men did a great job being leaders & following medical advisement this weekend. A reminder about the value of leadership & listening: if those in charge of public health had listened to epidemiologists and gotten us all to buy in, we'd all be at practice right now.

What a trip to @BowdoinFB - proud of my alma mater! Grateful my parents encouraged me to choose the best combination of academics & football. I never would have gotten into Stanford grad school or gotten to coach there if not for my @BowdoinCollege degree!

Your daily reminder that specialists should be the most flexible players on the team. If you can’t get your leg above your head without breaking your knee, work on those hamstrings!
