‘For more than one hundred years there has been an absolute dearth of pure and applied information related to kicking for distance and accuracy in Australian Football. It was with much joy and interest that I read ‘The Science of Kicking’, for it fills beautifully the gaping chasm of validated knowledge available on this critical subject in our great game. For those learning and coaching this difficult, complex skill, this book will provide the best possible resource available’.

David Parkin, academic, ABC commentator, former player and AFL coach

While this book is directed to Australian football, the anatomical and biomechanical principles that underpin the punt kick will be the same whatever your football code and may also be applied to American football or Rugby football. The Science of Kicking will provide all the knowledge necessary to take you on the road to kicking excellence.
