Ever wondered how to throw an Emotion-Bowl-winning touchdown like IF QB Devan Munk? Or how about to spike just like volleyball-starter Meghan Hess? Each month we’ll ask an IF athlete to explain a technique they’ve got down. It’s up to you to perfect it!

ing able to kick a field goal in football is considered to be one of the more complicated skills of the game.

It may be simple to say in words, but to be able to kick a football in between those two orange posts is easier said than done. Tyson Davis, junior, explained the skill of adding that extra seventh point after the touchdown.

The first step in kicking a field goal is to set the ball up on the tee — easy enough.

However, the next step can be varied among your personal preference. Tyson Davis takes three steps back and one to the left.

If you are right-footed then you should start with your left foot after taking the steps back, that way you end up kicking it with the right foot.

When you kick the ball, you want it to go straight and in the direction you’re aiming. Therefore you want to kick the ball with the front and inside of your foot right near the bottom of the ball.

Do not go too low on the ball or you will sweep underneath it and it won’t go more than a few yards. Good luck!
