Re: How hard is placekicking?

Recently, I thought, I can [censored] kick! These guys miss all these field goals. I can at LEAST miss as many as them! I never played soccer, but I was always the first or second pick in kickball. I once did a leg press of 800 lbs. when I was in shape.

I squat 525. I kick the ball possibly 25-30 yards on a good day.
Our kicker at Kutztown squats about 185, maybe 225. He routinely kicks at least 55 yards.
It's only one instance but I don't think strength in your legs mean anything. I believe it's all technique.
As for as making an AFL squad, having never kicked before I would say that it's as close to 0% as one could get. But who knows.
