What our customers have to say about their experience with The Kickers' Zone.
“After meeting with Marc and looking at not only the software analysis tools he has designed, but spending several training sessions with his young punters and kickers he has been working out with, I wanted to join him in his endeavor to help these young athletes get better over time. I am excited to be part of something that should be a real “game changer” for not just the athletes’, but also the parents and coaches.”
“As a fellow ND alum, I thought that I was receiving special attention and energy from Coach Nolan as he shared with me skills and techniques to punting. Then I saw him work with some of the local high school kickers and quickly realized that the level of engagement I received was as high as it was with the high school kickers.Marc’s passion for what he does clearly distinguishes him from other instructors I had worked with. You cannot teach or coach passion — you can only exemplify it. Marc combines this passion for helping youth achieve athletic goals with knowledge of skills and techniques better than anyone I’ve worked with. I am better because of my involvement with him”.
“I started working with Coach Nolan my sophomore year of high school and continued to work with him into my college career. I benefited greatly from his coaching, and it was great to have him with me on the sidelines during games. Good kick or bad kick, I always knew that Coach Nolan would keep me focused on the rest of the game. During training, I never felt like he pressured me to change my kicking style- he simply took what I had, made me feel confident about it, and made it better. Apart from giving me some great coaching tips, Coach Nolan made our training sessions fun and I enjoyed seeing my kicking improve in a relaxed environment. I feel that I have a great friend and role model in Coach Nolan.”
Thank you for the great coaching session. Clearly your knowledge and experience has been something special for getting Sam to the next level. He and I learned alot not just about the kicking side and the mental aspects but also the parent side of what we need to do going forward. We are delighted to be part of your new set of high school kickers- and looking forward to our future lessons and the camps.
Amazed. Coach Nolan is GOOD. My grandson has learned so much in just a few lessons. To watch them together was so entertaining. I was really hesitant booking lessons with a total stranger but after meeting him and watching his techniques the realization hit me that God sent this man to mentor Asa. My husband and I feel like Coach Nolan is part of our family. Just waiting to see how much more we have to learn. Yes, this grandmother was on the field today and having the time of her life.
Coach Mark was awesome in person as well as over text and phone. He helped me work out some of my techniques and followed up and continues to follow up after our lesson. I will definitely meet with coach mark again once spring football is over.
Coach Marc was great! My 7 year old son had only played flag football and missed the training session for his new tackle league. Coach Marc showed him everything he needed to know. Highly recommend.
We just had our first session with Coach Marc. It's hard to believe we could learn so much in just one session. Came away thinking it was worth every penny spent. Coach Marc is top notch. We will definitely be using him from now on.
Coach Marc is a great coach. He did a great job beginning the process of converting my 13 year old from being a straight on kicker to one with the skills to continue his kicking career into high school and maybe beyond.
From my first lesson with Coach Nolan my senior year in high school to my freshman year at The University of Tennessee I could tell he had a passion for coaching kickers and punters. He used his vast amount of knowledge and experiences to help coach me as an individual and not just the same as every other kicker.
Because of that, he took my strengths and weaknesses and improved my kicking tremendously. I did not just improve in my performance, but in the mental aspect as well. He tried to put me in pressured situations while working together to help prepare me for big kicks in games. Apart from training one on one, he used his software to help break down my kicks to study while we were not on the field together, and saved me a lot of time and money while not having to travel back and forth during my hectic college schedule.
Lastly, aside from kicking Marc has always taken interest in my life off the field as well and has become a good friend.
Coach Mark provided an excellent session with my son. His knowledge of the sport as well as his technique teaching the skills are impressive. It's obvious he knows how to get results. I would recommend Coach Mark for any level of kicker. He's not only knowledgeable about technique but also the ins and outs of the sport in the current environment.
Coach Marc is wonderful. He spent ample time with my nephew. My nephew had just one lesson but already felt the big improvement, especially on how to position himself and kick with accuracy.
Coach Marc is clearly a elitecoach. His Knowledge is impressive. His drills are creative, instructive, and obviously proven. Hisexperience is unsurpassed. He is patient and kind and also brings lots of energy to his instruction. He spent a tremendous amount of time with us, over and above our lesson, answering questions we had and talking with us. My son learned a lot and truly enjoyed the experience. We plan to work with Coach Marc more in the future. We highly recommend him!!!
We came to Coach Nolan about a year ago to help our son get his power and technique together for college. Our son, had been to some of the other “kicking gurus” in the past and we thought that our son had reached the top level of his abilities. After our first session, it was clear that in Coach Nolan we just did not see a great coach but a great man. He also is a Dad of an All-American Punter and we knew what he had done for a couple of other punters who needed assistance getting them ready for college an yes others who are now in the NFL he worked with. Coach Nolan’s lessons are not just about punting but also live lessons for which we have been grateful as well. All through our own “Journey” Coach Nolan has been there all along. Whether it be a call to our son right before a big game- or going over a video late in the evening after a game, he has always been there for us.
Finally, as we are preparing for our son’s CFL tryouts, the focus of course has been much more intense and Coach Nolan’s commitment to train beyond the time we have with him has been awesome. We are thankful for all that Coach Nolan has done for us, both on the field and off the field and if anyone is looking for a great coach who has treats a player as he would treat his own, than Coach Nolan is the man that you need to get a hold of- and QUICKLY!
“Over ten years ago, I was introduced to Coach Nolan when he came to help the kickers and punters at our high school. I quickly realized that not only could he help me out in high school- but also to help me take my game to the next level. When he started to video tape my steps and show me what I was doing both right and wrong, he gave me some insight that stayed with me during my college playing career. I became a much more dedicated and serious kicker and punter because of Coach Nolan”.
“Almost 25 years ago Coach Nolan started me out as a punter and kicker. I am extremely grateful to him for his coaching skills related to my kicking, and also to how to interact with young players. This has guided me a coach in how I now work with young kickers”.
“When we started working with Coach Nolan we had been to several “competition camps” and although these are great for our son’s competitive environment with other kicking “peers” it was Coach Nolan who really developed our son, and provides the analysis tools from A-Z."
“Coach Nolan’s analysis tools and software should be in every kickers and Special Team coaches bag. They are amazing."
“Coach Nolan is by far one of the best punting and kicking specialist coaches around today. From his own playing experiences and past successes he has had with other kickers and the options he presented to us from football kicking vs. soccer and to how these options translate to scholarships in college were very helpful, along with the real life lessons he helped our son with were very valuable and we will be forever grateful."
“Coach Nolan has worked with our son for over 4 years and not only did he coach our son- but showed our son what it means to be a coach who not just cares about what happens on the field- but as well as off the field."
“Our son started to work with Coach Nolan in his freshman year, and now three years later we are thrilled our son has accepted a D1 scholarship. Words can never be enough- so all I can say is Thanks Coach!”
“Coach Nolan trained me as raw kid who had no idea of what I was doing and within a very short period of time- I was out kicking and beating out a three year starter. I am looking forward to me senior year and working with Coach Nolan and his staff to get me to the next level.”
“The Life skills and just Coach Nolan’s way he works with all the kids who seek him out is truly a gift. The time he spends with them on the field and the instructional led training he does is just amazing-all the while building their confidence levels up on each kick and with each young man he works with. If you want your son to really understand what it will take to kick at the next level, or to know which is the best kickers’ camp to attend, Coach Nolan is the one you need to ask!”
“As a former punter myself, I watched with awe how Coach Nolan worked with 10 kids for about 90 minutes and each kid having varying levels of abilities and skills, and was more impressed with not only his expertise on the total kicking aspects of punting, field goals, and kick-offs but how he interacted with each young man. It was amazing to watch these young men see how excited they were when they went from having little success to some great successes-in such a short period of time."
