Vezina, who bases his coaching business out of Glendora, CA, attended St. Francis High School in La Cañada, CA. Like so many other kicking specialists, he was a soccer player who converted to kicking footballs. Vezina, who says he was “pretty much self-taught” was a punt and kickoff specialist during his varsity career. His longest punt was 74 yards which is still a school record.
Husted, who has worked kicking camps with Vezina, says he is impressed with his coaching.
“Being that Drew is in Southern California, I've had the pleasure to coach alongside of him for several camps and fully respect what he brings to the table,” says Husted. “Having him as an NCS Associate means more kicking specialists will have the opportunity to improve their skills as part of our NCS Network."
Vezina says he joined the National Camp Series (NCS) because it gives young specialists a great platform to learn, compete and get recruited using statistics based rankings rather than subjective rankings. He says young kicking specialists can find great value in the NCS KIX Player Rating System. A rating system developed by Husted after spending 9 years in the NFL.
“Objective rankings are the only way to go,” says Vezina. “It gives coaches at the next level the most reliable and realistic view of how the athletes really perform. Subjective rankings are based on opinion, so they don't give an accurate view of an athlete's performance. The KIX System is a great tool to rank athletes properly and fairly according to their grade level.”
Vezina says along with the great ranking system, NCS also provides great coaching.
“The high level of coaching at the NCS camps are second to none,” says Vezina. “Specialists who attend NCS camps receive professional instruction and one on one attention that won't be found at other camps. I am honored to be able to work alongside and learn from all the coaches in the NCS.”
Husted says Vezina just adds to the quality of coaches provided by NCS.
“NCS Associates are some of the best kicking coaches in the country,” says Husted. “NCS coaches provide the highest quality instruction to high school kicking specialists around the country and Drew Vezina is another high quality addition to our National Camp Series (NCS) Associates.”
