Your specialists will win AND lose games.
Are you coaching them like it?

Field position. Points on the board. Hidden yardage. Sometimes even possession. Your kickers, punters, and long snappers touch every one of those outcomes — yet most coaching staffs give them the least structured attention on the roster.

Coaching Successful Specialists: The Crucial Checklist is a practical course built for head coaches, special teams coordinators, and anyone responsible for the specialists on their team. Led by NFL veteran kicker John Carney, this course walks you through the exact checklist Coach Carney uses to help coaches build confident, consistent, healthy specialists all season long.

No fluff. No theory for theory's sake. Just ten boxes to check so your specialist — and your team — succeeds on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, or Sunday.

Why this checklist works...

Too many specialists are sent to "the other field" during practice with no structure, no communication, and no plan.  And it shows up in missed kicks, short punts, blocked punts, inconsistent snaps and tired legs in the fourth quarter. This course gives you a repeatable system to:
  • Prevent overkicking and overpunting during the season
  • Build your specialist's confidence instead of leaving him to figure it out alone
  • Develop high performing punt and field goal teams
  • Help your specialist stay mentally locked in AND physically fresh from August through November
