Long and Successful Summer

It has been a busy and successful Summer as I have learned the gratification of seeing punters and kickers improve. I have also experienced the true meaning of hard work.

As you can see in the picture (above) I have two footballs laying side by side. The football on the right is a brand new football and the football on the left was brand new on June 1st when I started my Summer kicking and punting lessons.

I have eight other footballs that look just like the one of the left in the trunk of my car. I have calculated that my footballs were kicked 7,800 times this Summer!

I have put together a couple of rough estimates for certain things that happened in my lessons over June and July.

• Drove Approximately 7,200 miles in my Honda Accord this Summer
• Stopped these cities and towns in Tennessee: in Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City, Knoxville, Greeneville, Adamsville, Savannah, Lebanon, Cookeville, Strawberry Plains, Oak Ridge, Woodbury, Chattanooga, Camden, McKenzie, Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin, and Murfreesboro.
• Longest Day June 30 (my birthday) did six lessons and started at 8 AM in Mt. Juliet and finished at 8:30 PM

• Worked with approximately 130 kicking specialists across the state of Tennessee (260 total lessons)
• Spent 325 hours in the sun (260 lessons for hour and fifteen minutes)
• Lost 10 pounds (197 pounds to 187 pounds)
• Demonstrated approximately 800 field goals with a long of 58 yards
• Longest kickoff recorded was 78 yards with a 4.1 hang time

Favorite Food: Germantown Commissary (Memphis) pictured above, Bobby Q's (Cookeville), Sawmeal (Adamsville), Bricks Cafe (Brentwood), Pal's (Kingsport), TK's (Kingsport), Bonefish Grill (Germantown), Hagy's Catfish Hotel (Savannah), Cheddar's (Hendersonville), and Cherokee Steakhouse (Gallatin).

It has been a fantastic Summer and I have given everything I possibly could to make the kicking specialists in Tennessee better this summer.

I look forward to assisting guys throughout the season and I am excited to watch the guys I have worked with throughout the Summer.

Also, I look forward to playing some golf, catching up on TV shows, and being normal 27 year old kid for a few months!
