In June, Coach Zauner, considered one of the nation's top kicking coaches, is launching a series of PRO Development Camps to develop and prepare elite kicking specialists to play professional football.
St. Paul, MN (PRWEB) June 12, 2009 -- Coach Zauner will be conducting his first PRO Development Camps at Macalester College in St. Paul, MN during June and July of 2009. The purpose of these kicking camps is to assist the nation's elite kicking specialists prepare to play professional football.
Coach Zauner Coaching Baltimore Ravens Special Teams
Coach Zauner, former 13 year NFL Special Teams Coordinator who coached special teams for the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals, is considered by many to be one of the best kicking coaches in the country. The list of NFL specialists he has worked with is unprecedented and includes having coached or worked with 19 Pro Bowlers.
Zauner says he is creating these camps to fill a void in the training currently available to kicking specialists, "So many of the kicking camps in today's market focus on offering 'competitions' rather than helping kicking specialists develop the skills and technique needed to become professional football players." He adds, "My goal is to provide specialists with the skills required to reach this level."
According to one of the greatest kicking specialists who has played in the NFL, Zauner is well qualified to provide the training necessary to take specialists to a professional level.
Five-time Pro Bowler Gary Anderson one of the all time most accurate and prolific kickers in NFL history says, "Gary is easily the most knowledgeable kicking coach in the country. His approach of blending all the technical aspects of kicking with a practical common sense approach is one of Gary's finest qualities." Anderson adds, "He can improve any kicker in a very short period of time and put you on a precise road to success. He is simply the very best!"
Jon Ryan is the punter for the Seattle Seahawks upon becoming a free agent last season, agrees that Zauner can improve a kickers performance. After working with Zauner to improve his technique Ryan said, "Coach has probably taught me more in the last two days than I've learned from any other coach in two or three years. So, if I follow his program I'll hopefully find myself employed in the NFL again."
Shortly after his workout with Zauner, Ryan signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
Garrett Hartley is the place kicker for the New Orleans Saints. Hartley attended the University of Oklahoma and was a finalist in 2006 for the prestigious Lou Groza Award, given to the best college place kicker in the country.
After college he signed as a free agent with the Denver Broncos in 2008 and was later picked up during the NFL season by the New Orleans Saints. In eight games he finished the season perfect on field goals going 13 for 13. He goes into the 2009 season as the starting kicker for the Saints.
"Coach has been really good at refining my technique without changing it," says Hartley. "He's been helping and guiding me, and I feel a lot more confident after a few sessions. I wish I had more time here but need to get back for my Pro Day. I really recommend Coach Zauner to any kicker. He's the real deal!"
Along with the PRO Development Camps being held in St. Paul, Minnesota Zauner will also be coordinating a kicking camp at River Falls, Wisconsin specifically designed for high school kicking specialists.
