Video Analysis
Stage: Expert
Stage Characteristics: The kicker does a good job bringing the kicking leg back with a bend in the knee. He extends his hips in order to increase his range of motion. He uses opposition when kicking. He finishes his kick with a step after the ball has made contact in order to regain balance.
What to Change: In order to improve the kick, the kicker needs to lean backwards as he contacts the ball. Right now the kicker's body is positioned over the ball even as the kicking foot carries forward.
Cue: Lean trunk back as the kicking foot extends forward after the kick.
