Stop letting failure hold you back. It’s an opportunity to learn and grow. If you keep doing the same things over and over again and expect different results, that’s the definition of insanity. Yesterday’s work ethic doesn’t produce today’s success. The closer you get to the next level, the harder it gets. I became who I am by walking through hard situations, not around them. Success isn’t about never failing. Successful people fail all the time. They just never quit. Embrace the hard. Push through the adversity. It’s shaping you. God won’t give you anything you can’t handle. Don’t quit. Fight for your future. #StayReady #KeepGoing #Mindset #Faith #HardWork #Discipline #Grind #BetOnYourself #NeverQuit #TrustGod #ProcessDriven #TLK #Kicking

If you’re a great kicker, you’re probably a perfectionist — which is a good thing. But sometimes, it can also work against you. For example, one of my guys had an incredible day. He made 92% of his kicks, but was frustrated because his 51-yarder didn’t hit the net like it normally does — even though it was a perfect ball right down the middle. What I tried to remind him was simple: three points is three points. Hit the kick you’re asked to hit, and move on. Being a perfectionist pushes you to hold yourself to a higher standard and stay hungry, but it can also have some downsides if you let it steal your joy from doing your job well. Do your job to the best of your ability — kick after kick. #TLK #BeAPro #Kicking #Specialists #Kicker #Punter #LongSnapper #Football #Birmingham #Mindset #KickingCoach #TrustYourProcess #TyLongKicking #fyp

Great session recently with Ryan Swetz! He’s a very talented 2027 southpaw and one of my most coachable athletes. I believe this kid has the ability to be a D1 starter someday! During the session, we worked on keeping his kickstart small and his chest over his toes. When he does this, he turns over a ton of punts. We had strong winds both at our back and in our face. I always coach my guys to treat both situations the same — focus on keeping your chest over and your steps small. The only difference is in your emphasis: •With the wind at your back, focus on clearing your hips and getting up under the ball. •With the wind in your face, focus on driving out a little more. @RyanPunts37 #Kicking #Punting #SpecialTeams #Football #Kicker #Punter #KickingCoach #Specialist #CoachTyLong #TLK #BeAPro #KickingWork #KickingDevelopment #TrustTheProcess #KickingTechnique #StayReady #fyp

Part 2 ‼️ How you come on the field matters. When you’re on offense and preparing for a punt or a kick I always liked to be down by the net in my zone getting ready to do my job. Not in the middle of the team joking around but locked in watching the game reading the flow and waiting for our opportunity. I also always made it a point to come on the field behind the ball. That way I could get out there clean without having to fight through O linemen who were coming off. A lot of times coaches want all the players in one area before a punt or field goal to make sure everyone’s accounted for. That’s fine but it should be obvious that the punter or kicker knows to be on the field. If your coach has you come to the box make sure you’re sprinting out at an angle that lets you get onto the field quickly and stay in your zone. That way you’re ready to do your job at a high level. #TLK #BeAPro #Kicking #Punting #SpecialTeams #Football #TrustYourWork #Process #Routine #Mindset #Focus #StackDays

Really great day working with the specialists at @tupelofb and @thsfloodzoneclub doing some consulting work! My staff and I had the opportunity to work with the snappers, punters, kickers, and holders—helping them fine-tune their fundamentals. We wrapped up the day by helping them build a full operation, from communication on the way onto the field for a regular field goal, to executing under pressure in hurricane (mayday) field goal situations. Huge thanks to the Tupelo football staff for having us and taking such good care of us while we were there! #TLK

Congrats to @_RobertCole_ & @therealjwill37 on graduating today from Troy U. Two great dudes who are getting it done on the field and class room! Proud of you guys! #TLK

Will throws a very catchable ball. I’ve been impressed with his consistency in both location and velocity. Any school looking for a guy to step in and fill a starting role—this is your guy! #TLM

We’re building something special in Birmingham. Our Sunday group sessions have been a game-changer for our guys. Punters, kickers, and snappers are all getting elite instruction and tons of live reps. We’ve added more competition into each session to help prepare them for upcoming college camps and combines. It’s important to understand: training for a combine is not the same as training for a season. We’re making sure our athletes are dialed in for what’s ahead—mentally and physically. I also make it a point to bring in multiple well-respected coaches, so our players aren’t just hearing one voice—they’re learning from a variety of perspectives and gaining a deeper understanding of their craft. I’m proud of the work our group has been putting in, and I’m excited to see how they perform this summer. I know they’ll be ready. If you’re serious about taking your game to the next level, this is the place to be. #TLK #fyp #punting #kicking #mentality #birmingham #mentalfocus #communication #holding #snapping
