Players experienced field work, film review, strength training, beach agilities, SUP sessions, swimming, flexibility and ART sessions, nutritionist consultation, and a friendly closing competition.

  • Special Teams Coordinator

    John Carney is one of the all-time greatest placekickers in NFL history! His long, distinguished career speaks for itself. His longevity and production throughout his career is amazing.
    However, his greatest qualities are his character, integrity, and work ethic. He is a "true pro." His knowledge of placekicking is limitless, he understands the techniques of the position and is an excellent teacher. I had the privilege of working with John Carney during my coaching career and consider it an honor. This was a special player and a better man!

  • Special Teams Coordinator

    In the coaching business, we are always looking for ways to help our players reach or surpass their potential. John Carney is one of those tremendous resources. I have worked with him personally and saw firsthand what an excellent teacher he was as well as having extremely sound philosophies John can relate to all types of players and all levels of football. John is an excellent asset for all specialists.

  • 20-Year NFL Special Teams Coordinator (Retired)

    I had the great pleasure of coaching John Carney for 5 years with the New Orleans Saints. I learned to respect and appreciate his knowledge, dedication and expertise at the kicking position. If I were an NFL kicker, a college kicker, or even an aspiring high school kicker, I would seek out John Carney for professional coaching. His knowledge of kicking mechanics, in-season and off-season performance training, workout routines, mental preparation and emotional control during stressful kicking situations is exceptional. If your ultimate goal is to be better, or the best you can possibly be, I would strongly recommend you going to see John Carney to help you accomplish your goals.

    I had the special privilege of having John as a teammate and mentor my rookie and Super Bowl winning season. I made rapid progress learning from his 20+ years of NFL experience. The knowledge I gained is invaluable.

  • Placekicker
    Super Bowl XLIV Champion
    Super Bowl Record Holder, 3 Field Goals Over 40 Yards

    John is the most amazing person and coach I have had the privilege to work with in my football career. He understands both aspects of the game; from the mental aspect, and certainly the physical. He worked with my swing and didn't try to change it. When it came time to perform under pressure vs. the Vikings in the NFC Championship, it paid off!!!
