Learn to Punt Kick uses the The ‘Backward Tracking Method’ The skill learning method that has consistently delivered the best results is the ‘Backward Tracking Method’. It is a unique approach based on strong underpinning scientific principles. In particular it integrates biomechanical applications with current educational methodology. The aim is to teach the kick in the most efficient manner, in the shortest time, and using a system that will ensure that once it’s learned it stays learned.  Terminology has been kept simple and basic skill patterns in the early stages are learned using a set kick with the ball on the ground.  The more complex skills specific to the drop punt kick are then layered on top.

The ‘Backward Tracking Method’ teaches sound technique in a logical progression, and with the most appropriate coaching steps and practices. This method emphasizes first-order ‘core elements’ fundamental to the skill then tracks backward to learn ‘second order’ more peripheral elements. To teach, for example, the initial stance and approach first, is to teach peripheral techniques of only secondary importance to the skill. Rather, core elements such as ‘building the kicking platform’ should be taught at the beginning. Techniques must then be repeated, refined and reinforced.
