a masterclass by John carney
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Melissa STROTHER, PRO ARENA KICKER
I have never had a kicking coach in my career and learned to kick through the long process of trial and error. The AOK program made me break down my entire process mentally, physically and spiritually and help me rebuild it through knowledge and understanding... it gave me the confidence to take my career to the next level from women’s semi-pro football to men’s professional football.
Rob MARTIN, NFL FREE AGENT
Before the program I was actually going to back out of attempting combine qualification and after I had found a whole new mindset. Along with that I was able to take some key details and apply them on the field. I have a different weight room regiment now that suits much better, I’m much less afraid of punting into heavier than average wind conditions (always a fear of mine), and I have a much better specialists’ IQ. That one is huge...
Coach Mike Raynard,
Kicking Coach
As a current coach, I learned more during those 6 weeks than I did in 40+ combined years of playing and coaching kickers and punters. Coach Carney’s ability to simplify the ‘Art of Kicking’ is like that of no other person I have worked with in my kicking journey. Coach Carney’s vast experience and easy to follow teaching methods make this program invaluable.
About John Carney
John Carney had a legendary 23 year professional football career. While he is remembered by teammates and fans as one of the most prolific place-kickers in the history of the National Football League, he “kicked off” Carney Coaching after his final game to make an impact of a different sort.
John is now a nationally sought-after coach and mentor for the rising generation of kickers and punters. He continues to be instrumental in preparing and placing specialists to compete at the highest levels of high school, college and professional football.
Knowing that elite specialists and coaches are in search of ways to perfect their craft and maximize their performance, John created The Art of Kicking masterclass as a vehicle to share his wealth of knowledge and insight that you will not find anywhere else.
After a record-breaking collegiate career with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, John scored 2,062 points over four decades in the NFL. Carney spent 16 years of his career with two franchises, the San Diego Chargers and New Orleans Saints. John also had stints as the starting kicker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants. He played in Super Bowl XXlX, coached in Super Bowl XLlV, was voted to the Pro Bowl in 1994 and again in 2008, where he was the oldest player ever to play in the game.
