John Carney, Kicking Coach

Carney Trains a New Generation of Champions

John Carney has had a legendary NFL kicking career. He now brings 23 years of NFL experience to a new generation of kicking specialists.

John's unique style of coaching separates him from traditional coaching. His reputation for being physically fit and conditioned have been well documented. The scope of John's program covers: coaching, evaluating, teaching and mentoring. Addtionally -- and of great value -- he kicks with his players, competes with them, motivates them, and oversees their strength and conditioning programs.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, John covers game preparation, pre-game routine, and game focus. These aspects of a specialist's program can make or break a game, a season, a career.

John brings knowledge and experience that only a few possess in the football industry. Firsthand knowledge is the reason he brings value and credibility to his coaching.

John Carney is one of the all-time greatest placekickers in NFL history! His long, distinguished career speaks for itself. His longevity and production throughout his career is amazing.

However, his greatest qualities are his character, integrity, and work ethic. He is a "true pro." His knowledge of placekicking is limitless, he understands the techniques of the position and is an excellent teacher. I had the privilege of working with John Carney during my coaching career and consider it an honor. This was a special player and a better man!

I had the great pleasure of coaching John Carney for 5 years with the New Orleans Saints. I learned to respect and appreciate his knowledge, dedication and expertise at the kicking position.

If I were an NFL kicker, a college kicker, or even an aspiring high school kicker, I would seek out John Carney for professional coaching. His knowledge of kicking mechanics, in-season and off-season performance training, workout routines, mental preparation and emotional control during stressful kicking situations is exceptional. If your ultimate goal is to be better, or the best you can possibly be, I would strongly recommend you going to see John Carney to help you accomplish your goals.

John is the most amazing person and coach I have had the privilege to work with in my football career. He understands both aspects of the game; from the mental aspect, and certainly the physical. He worked with my swing and didn't try to change it. When it came time to perform under pressure vs. the Vikings in the NFC Championship, it paid off!!!
