To any mom or dad willing to take a chance, I was a 4 year letter winner at the United States Naval Academy, and I can say with 100% certainty that wouldn’t be the case without Chris and our team at KICKNATION. My kicking journey started on a hot summer day in Houston as a 14 year old kid, and it is still going strong as a 25 year old Naval Officer. Chris has been there for me as a high school junior who thought he was being overlooked, to a senior in college the night before the Army Navy Game who was struggling to turn a punt over. Being part of KICKNATION has been life defining, and any one willing to make the investment will surely reap the benefits of the best coaching in the America.

I started my kicking career with KICKNATION before my senior year of high school. After making the team at UTSA and having a below average first season, Chris inspired me to reach my full potential and showed me how to do that. I then became one of the best kickers in college football and the all-time leading scorer at UTSA. Now, as an NFL free agent, I wouldn’t train with anyone else, and I’m glad I had Chris to get me started.

I have been working with Chris and since my sophomore year in high school. Since then I have been the starting kicker at Texas Tech University for 4 years on a full-scholarship. I have completely transformed as a specialist in the 6yrs I have been working with Chris and KICKNATION. The fundamentals, skills, and drill work that I have taken from my years of camps and personal training with Chris have conformed me into the kicker I am today. No matter how many times I have worked with KICKNATION, I have always been able to take a different tool or observation to help me become that much better of a kicker. Not only has Chris been my coach on the field, but also my mentor off the field. He has opened his family to me and shared his past experiences to help me be successful in my career. I believe in KICKNATION, and appreciate everything they have helped me accomplish!

I was a client of KICKNATION for over 10 years and can truly say they are the premier program to develop your abilities. Through the years I attended high school and college camps, individual lessons, and group sessions with kickers from all over the country. Through each session, I was challenged and given valuable critiques and tips to improve my kicking/punting abilities. I can truly say that without KICKNATION, I would never have gotten the opportunity to play for Oklahoma State University. If you are looking to compete with some of the best in the country, receive instruction from collegiate and past award winners, KICKNATION is where you need to be. I strongly recommend to any young kicker/punter/snapper looking to improve their game and give themselves a chance at the next level, contact Coach Chris and his team at KICKNATION and get to work.

Being a part of the KICKANTION family has not only greatly improved my deep snapping skills but also allowed me to grow as an athlete, teammate, and friend. The college camps that I attended allowed me to refine my abilities with some of the best specialists in college football. The coaching was one on one and was not broad across the camp. You truly get instruction special to your improvement. Coach Shaw has created a network of athletes that enjoy helping specialists and passing on knowledge to younger generations. You are not just another number or camper at KICKANTION, you are given all the attention you need to become a great specialist and part of a family.

After the first time I trained with KICKNATION my confidence and consistency improved tremendously. Coach Shaw and his staff pay attention to the details and believe quality is greater than quantity. From Highschool to College, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to understand how passionate and bright Coach Shaw is about the process and his approach, more importantly, builds the athletes confidence to trust in themselves. He believes in your abilities to reach all-time highs and the purpose he puts into his trainings and athletes is unbeatable. KICKNATION’S attention to detail and knowledge of maximizing player performance is the best in the business. Also, Coach Chris and his team not only watch out for you on the field, but watch out for you throughout the recruiting process, from game to game, and outside of Football as family. I would recommend KICKNATION to any player who is passionate about your kicking and punting goals and willingness to see great improvement, distill confidence in oneself, and be a part of a lifelong family.

Coach Chris and all of KICKNATION welcomed me with open arms. I came to Coach Chris and his staff to fine tune my punting. He went above and beyond and was there for me every step of the way. I would send him film during the week and he would get back to me on what I needed to focus on. Coach Chris and his staff are always there when you need them and that’s what sets them apart from the other kicking coaches. Their attention to detail and focus was a key factor in my success.
