"Coach Filipovic, The Kicking Coach, has been Hunter's kicking/punting coach since his freshman year of high school. Hunter tried out other camps, but very early on, found Filipovic's coaching to be incredibly beneficial. Filipovic was in the NFL, and although he could draw hundreds to his clinics, he purposefully limits clinic size. And they sell out early! There are always numerous current D1 and/or NFL kickers/punters helping at his events. This, together with Filipovic's excellent training, makes for great coaching, as well as coach to athlete ratios. At Top Kicker In America 2012, Hunter spent the day learning from the New England Patriots' punter Zoltan Mesko, NFL kicker Billy Cundiff, Filip Filipovic and more. These D1 and NFL specialists lend first-hand, feet-on experience to the training, and we credit Filipovic's coaching regiment with our son's positive results. Hunter made all-state his junior year, and it's looking good for his senior season too. In high school games, he's had five 50-plus field goals, now kicks near 100-percent touchbacks, has a strong punt average (80-yard long), and is getting ready to break the state record for most consecutive PAT's. After being named Top K/P Combo in the Country at Filipovic's 2012 TKIA event, Hunter committed to Northwestern University. Filipovic's training walked Hunter from his first attempts at kicking, to where he is today. He was extremely instrumental and pro-active in advocating for Hunter during his recruiting process. While other organizations charge for everything from Website visibility to videos, Filipovic did not. He put together a highlight video for our son, as he did for all the guys who attended TKIA, at no additional charge. He then sent the video all over the country. Again, no charge. It's a quality situation, and Filip Filipovic is an earnest and honest coach. Hunter is excited to continue learning from Filipovic through his college years, hopes to go NFL, and can't wait to give back, by helping at one of The Kicking Coach clinics...very soon!"
