PLP Podcast Episode #263

Tim Schmidt, Founder/Head Coach of Kicking Dynamics, discusses practice methods and skill improvement, emphasising continuous touch with football. He advocates for ongoing practice and skill development, drawing parallels to top athletes like LeBron James who constantly refine their craft. Tim addresses coaching players with disabilities, focusing on simplifying techniques, building confidence, and promoting fun in the learning process. Kicking Dynamics' philosophy involves simplifying kicking fundamentals, eliminating non-essential aspects to improve consistency, and then introducing game situations. Tim advises a young player who left an AFL Academy at 15 due to size and strength concerns, encouraging skill improvement, muscle development, and consistent performance to get noticed again.
