My son was a little late to the football recruiting process. He started in January of his junior year. Coach Cahill helped him throughout the entire process guiding him how to contact coaches, which schools to target, which visits/camps to attend and how to train. He also worked with him on the technical side of kicking/punting. He was honest and accurate with his assessment of my son’s skillset. If you are a parent of a son with a desire to play in college, I highly recommend engaging with Coach Cahill as early as possible.

If you find Coach Cahill's tweets and podcasts helpful, then I highly recommend that you take up his personal coaching/consulting service. His expertise, his connections and his strategies helped us to navigate the college recruiting process with our son. The process for kicker/punter recruiting is not the same as the recruiting process for other positions. Coach Cahill takes the guesswork out of everything. Our son picked up a bunch of D1 and D3 offers from high academic institutions but eventually decided to commit to a D3 program. Thanks to Coach Cahill, our son feels he got to explore all his options and enjoyed his recruiting journey. The best thing about working with Coach Cahill? We can't get our son to do anything but thankfully, he will listen to Coach Cahill!

Coach Brendan Cahill has been wonderful to work with for the past 11 months. When my son, Luca Lombardo, expressed an interest in kicking (both FGs and KOs), Brendan took a measured approach to turning his soccer kicking form into an effective football weapon. We were working on a tight timeframe, and Brendan delivered. He not only helped with his form, steps, timing and approach, but also helped Luca (and me) understand more about kicking strategy and other nuances. He also used his college coaching contacts to find the perfect place for Luca to begin his kicking career and continue his academic pursuit. With Coach Cahill's help, Luca went from a basic knowledge of the football kicking game, to earning a spot on the Boston College roster, kicking off for the Eagles opening day and throughout the season. Brendan has been professional, helpful and continues to work with Luca. They frequently chat on the phone, discuss strategy, progress and how to continue to perform better. I have a very high opinion of Coach Cahill and am looking forward to what the future holds. Luca will definitely continue to work with him and I could not recommend Brendan more highly! Thank you Brendan for all your help!

When we started with Brendan, we had no idea he would become such an integral part of our son's high school experience. He started as a kicking coach, but quickly became a mentor and a guide, navigating not only our son's training but also the complex world of college recruiting for us. Brendan has a masterful way of understanding the mental and physical aspects of kicking. Honestly, he was so creative in how he worked with our (sometimes stubborn) son, and we are forever grateful he did! There were moments of doubt along the way, but Brendan built a rapport with our son and coached him through the toughest times. His influence was the best thing that could have happened to our son, and thanks to his guidance, he has committed to a college program that is a perfect fit. We are incredibly thankful for Brendan's support and guidance.

To anyone thinking about working with Coach Cahill…..DO IT!!! Coach Cahill met with our son Liam 2 years ago to assist in enhancing his field goal and kick-off skills. After practice, Coach Cahill had a very honest and brunt conversation with our son (All-State kicker who had never punted a day in his life) that he believed if Liam wanted to kick in college it would be as a punter, not a kicker. He was 100% accurate. Fast forward, after exceptional coaching, leadership and encouragement Liam has officially signed to play Division 1 Football at the University of Rhode Island as…..A Punter! None of this would have been possible without that first practice with Coach Cahill, his honesty, experience and most importantly dedication to our son and his dream to play college football.

Coach Cahill worked with my son. It was a fantastic experience for not only my son, but for me too! As a coach, he is a true technician who knows how to get his knowledge across to young players. He understands them and is patient and reassuring, but honest. His “TrackMan” kicking evaluation software was a great tool for getting better and showcasing a kickers talent during the recruiting process. I loved the feedback he gave to my son. It was clear, concise, and to the point. Coach Cahill is great on the field, but his support during the recruiting process was outstanding! There were many times we had questions and Coach Cahill got back to us in a timely manner and never rushed us off the phone. His advice was spot on. His posts on Twitter also helped during this stressful period. He reached out to college coaches multiple times on my sons behalf. I have been a high school football coach 25 years and I would recommend Coach Cahill without any hesitation. I trusted him with my own son…that says it all! In the end, my son will kicking for Cornell University next year.

A picture says 1,000 words! Brendan is the only coach my son has ever worked with, and he’s committed to U Michigan. To say we are thrilled with the results would be an understatement. Working with Brendan has been life altering for our son. His knowledge is endless; both with the fine mechanics of kicking and punting, but also with the recruiting process. I often wonder when he has time to sleep because he is the first one to return a call, or reach out himself, all while he manages to coach. I have always felt like my son was his only client, because he is so invested in his kids. We are Team Cahill all the way.

I am the Head Football coach at Wesleyan University. I am fortunate to have worked with Coach Cahill for many years. He is the best and most elite kicking and punting coach in the country. He does an outstanding job communicating with players and parents. He is organized and honest with them on his evaluation. He lets families know what college options might be available. He has many contacts in college coaching and he is the only kicking and punting coach I contact cause his evaluations are always spot on. When we recruit a kicker/punter that has worked with him we know they will have great technique. He is passionate and cares about his craft and loves to see players get better. I am one of many who reach out to him for his opinion on players. Coach Cahill is truly one of the best in the business. We have had numerous All league kickers/punters and he has worked with all of them.

Jeffrey Sexton- Kicker, Princeton University I didn't know Coach Cahill at all, we were simply just mutuals on Twitter, connected through the small kicking world. When I started my first season of college football this past fall, there were some hiccups through training camp. I was struggling to adjust to the college game. The speed, expectation, and operation was all different. I reached out to Cahill, expecting a quick text back, honestly just looking for some positive reinforcement. Instead, he sent his phone number and we had a long conversation. We ended up staying in touch through the rest of the season and he was a key part to my success. Kicking can be a lonely position, but he really helped change my outlook on the position. Would highly recommend to any upcoming developing kickers, he has an awesome perspective.

My name is Logan Spoelstra. I am a junior in highschool. I started working with Coach Cahill when I was in 7th grade. I started kicking when I was 7 years old in a small flag football league. Everything I knew up to that point was from YouTube videos. My parents learned about Coach Cahill through a friend. It is very hard to find a kicking coach. I have had many coaches try to tell me how to kick. Finding Cahill was the best thing for me. He has been the one constant kicking coach in my life and a key to my success. He has transformed my kicking throughout the years as my body has grown and changed, tweaking my steps or adjusting my approach to maximize my ball contact. Most importantly he has taught me the mechanics of kicking, how to execute, and repetition. I hear him in my head as I go through my routine, set your sights and follow through. I am grateful to have Cahill in my life and on this journey. My family and I know very little about the world of recruiting. Coach Cahill has helped promote my name on Twitter through his large network so college coaches can find me. He has helped put me in direct contact with college coaches. And he has coached me on how to communicate and follow up with coaches. I like working with Cahill in both group and one-on-one sessions. In Group sessions, I have been able to kick with the best college and high school kickers in the area. This has challenged me to push myself to become better. It has also created a brotherhood of kickers. Now when we play against each other, we talk or when I visit a college, I usually know one of the kickers. Coach Cahill has not only been my coach but he is my mentor and friend. I can call or text him any time of the day and he gets right back to me. It’s nice to know I have his support on and off the field. Coach Cahill has mentally prepared me to be a better kicker and punter. It’s a tough position and sometimes it feels like the weight of the moment can crush you. Thank you Coach for all your support and guidance throughout the years. I am excited to see where the future will lead.

My name is Nick Sodano and I am a kicker for the University of North Carolina. I first trained with Coach Cahill about 1 1/2 years ago. Coach Cahill is super knowledgeable in terms of kicking/punting/snapping fundamentals & technique, but is even better at coaching your mental game. Many people overlook this aspect of the kicking game, but he knows how crucial it is to succeed. He is the first person to connect you to coaches, advocate for you, and he'll be your #1 supporter. Another thing I liked about training with Coach Cahill is the ability to train with other top specialists in the area. This allows you to compete and get ready for the next level. In one of our sessions, the punters were able to take snaps with the then #1 ranked snapper in the country who was committed to Auburn. He also focuses on game situations which is super important. If you're a punter, he'll work with you to get it directionally towards the numbers/sideline & make sure you get a good op time. If you're a kicker, he'll make sure you're also getting reps where you are kicking INTO the wind. This ensures you're ready for any situation in a game. All in all, I 100% recommend Coach Cahill and he will for sure elevate your game!!

My name is CJ Kolodziey, I'm a sophomore at UMass and I handle the punts and kickoffs. I have been working with Brendan since my freshman year of high school and ever since then he was always someone I could reach out to if I needed absolutely anything whether it was in school or football. Although I'm not particularly close to where our kicking sessions are, it's always fun to make the drive and kick with Brendan and all the other great kickers, punters and snappers he brings out. I've met a ton of amazing new people over the years that I now play against in college and it's so cool because I wouldn't have known these people if it weren't for Brendan. The amount of support Brendan has given me over the years has been incredible. I wouldn't be at UMass or where I am today if it wasn't for him. The bonds I've made with all the people I've worked with is something you can't find from working with any other coach. When working with Brendan it's something you can't find anywhere else. If you have a problem with little things he helps you and will asses your problems so you can be the best kicker/punter possible. I can't thank him enough for everything he's done for me and getting to where I've ended up today.

My name is Lowell Carr, a Senior Kicker/Punter at Colby College who handles all kicking duties for my team. After just one session with Coach Cahill, I felt both confident and refreshed. As a kicker, often times we let the weight of the world rest on our shoulders worrying about our steps, foot-to-ball contact and technique, etc. The way in which Coach Cahill navigates these mental obstacles with his clients is second to none. I felt so much more confident in all areas of my kicking game, which translated to the field the very next practice I had. I would highly recommend at least a session with Coach Cahill to any kicker/punter at any level.

I really cannot say enough about Coach Cahill. He's an absolute magician: wise, skilled, savvy, emotionally intelligent, kind, plugged in, knowledgeable, and a deeply good person. It's remarkable how his coaching involves every aspect of the game - the technical; the mental; the physical strength and health; and the insight into how the whole system of high school and college kicking actually works. Our middle schooler has been working with Coach for over a year now. His technique has transformed, and his passion and commitment grow by the day. Even though we live pretty far away from Coach, and working with him involves driving about 1.5 hours, he's always ready to jump in the car. He knows that Coach has the highest expectations of him, and that they'll be communicated in an infinitely decent manner. As a result, he always jumps to do whatever he advises. Coach is also an excellent communicator with us parents. If your child (or you) is serious about kicking, you should drop everything and get in touch with Coach Cahill!

My son Ty Groff has been working with Brendan for six years. Brendan is patient and extremely knowledgeable. He assist each player with simple easy to follow instruction that specialist work on while not with Brendan. Ty has gone from a good high school kicker to an All-State kicker his junior year leading Connecticut is field goals, kick points, and punts inside the 20 thanks to Brendan's help. Based on this Brendan has introduced Ty to several college kicking and special teams coaches. Brendan help has been invaluable.

Our son Matt was in his Junior year when he met Brendan through twitter. None of us knew anything about the college recruiting process. We reached out to Brendan and Matt quickly learned about junior days, how to contact coaches, promoting tools for emails and twitter. Beyond that, Brendan is an exceptional kicking coach who always made time to work with Matt. He went out of his way to include him in group trainings and kept up on his progress regularly. Brendan is in this business for the right reasons - he truly wants his players to succeed. There was never a time he wasn't available to answer our questions. Brendan is also honest in setting goals and expectations for his kickers......and their parents! We paid for SAT tutors, college counselors and football camps. Using Brendan was the best money we spent and he never acted like the money mattered - he is motivated by the success of the player. When Matt received offers from colleges, Brendan was one of the first people he called. Brendan even guided him through the important process of choosing a college. We appreciated that his top advice was to pick the school he could see himself attending without football. Matt will be attending Amherst College and will continue to work with Brendan. We highly recommend Brendan, he is great!

Working with Coach Cahill altered the course of my son's life. During his first session with Brendan as a 10th grader, he managed to break a BMW's windshield in the adjacent parking lot (wide left). It was the beginning of a years-long lesson in handling adversity. My son was genetically cursed with a D3 body, and a HS team that rarely crossed midfield and would allow any deep kickoff to be returned to the house. But Brendan was able to convince him that his solid technique, with the addition of hard work, strength training and excellent grades could take him as far as he wanted to go. And Brendan's guidance combined with my son's natural assertiveness convinced him to "crash" Junior Recruiting days even when uninvited. If coaches weren't going to give him a sniff, he would hunt them down himself. End result: My son won a Preferred Walk-On spot at his dream school, won Special Teams Scout Team POY as a freshman, and earned his spot as a D1 starting kicker as a sophomore. Most importantly, that "focus only on the next kick" mentality that Brendan instilled in him still carries him through a variety of challenges even to this day. I never once doubted that Brendan always had my son's best interest in mind, and he will be a friend and mentor for life.

Hey my name is Donato Crisanti, I have been working with Brendan since my sophomore year of high school. I am a long snapper that has been going to him for years to have someone to get live reps in and have punters and kickers to snap to. Brendan has always been there for me to help prepare for my seasons. He may not be a long snapping coach but he does produce the best kickers and punters in the area. Him allowing me to train with him during the off season has allowed me to excel season after season at the University of Rhode Island. I am not only fortunate to call him a coach, but a friend as well.

My son Joseph & I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Brendan through a very good friend, John McCarthy. John’s son, John Jr, had been working with Brendan for more than a year at that point, it was John Jr’s senior year as the kicker & punter for Pleasantville High School. John is now at Ithaca College, where he is punting & kicking. My son Joseph had been kicking since youth football as well as playing soccer till the 8th grade & now was on JV freshman year doing the same. But I realized if Joseph wanted to pursue kicking & punting seriously, he needed someone who has some real big time experience, that’s where Brendan stepped in.Brendan truly has a gift of being able to connect with these young men, not an easy task in today’s environment. He has taught my son to respect the gift he has, he has taught him discipline & a great work ethic. He has taught him, greatness is earned & that you control how good/great you want to be. I have seen my son mature & grow rapidly under Brendan’s guidance. But the number one thing that Brendan points out & constantly is stressing, is to do really well in school. As you strive to be the best on the field, strive just as hard in the classroom. One day football won’t be here for you, but your education & life skills will be with you forever. We are truly blessed to have met Brendan, he has become a mentor & good friend! Joseph is now a sophomore on varsity & is the starting kicker/punter, skies are truly the limit!! Thank you Brendan!

Our son is a junior in high school who played soccer for the past 12 years and recently decided to switch to kicking for his high school's varsity football team. We heard rave reviews about Coach Cahill and sought him out for training. Although our son has only been working with him for a few months, we noticed immediate improvement in his kicking technique/ability and in his desire to work hard to achieve his goals. Coach Cahill is not only a superior kicking coach, but he has also developed a wonderful rapport with our son who listens to his advice and respects him immensely. He has stressed to him the importance of eye contact, gratitude, confidence and self-advocacy. He has also helped to instill a strong work ethic. Coach Cahill is very approachable and responsive when we reach out for guidance or with questions and concerns. Even though not geographically close, he traveled to our high school to work with our son and his special teams unit to ensure they were in sync. We are also looking to him for guidance on the college recruiting process. Our son really enjoys his lessons with Coach Cahill and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Coach Cahill really helped me with the mental aspect of the game. I was really struggling through a field goal drought my junior year. He helped me visualize and got me back on track. I ended up kicking a school record 8 field goals that year. His constant mentoring, advice and phone calls I feel like we’re the difference.

Brendan is my go-to guy for anything related to kicking and punting. He is a wealth of knowledge in regard to technique, skill acquisition, and the college recruitment process for specialists. Brendan has worked with multiple specialists at Taft and all have benefited greatly from his services. He is not only always available and goes out of his way to help others, but he is also a highly skilled teacher who connects exceptionally well with his athletes.

I'm a mom of a D1 punter. Until we met Coach Cahill (through another D1 punter), our son got almost no coaching. Although he attended a high school that was often state champs, we quickly learned that Special Teams players are often not understood and are left to their own devices. Coach Cahill worked with our son through his high school years, then guided us through the very stressful and confusing recruitment process (especially during Covid). But everyone on this wall is going to say how awesome Coach Cahill is at coaching and recruitment. Here's what I think is even more important in these times - he is a genuinely kind and giving person who will serve as that man in your son's life who isn't dad, but who your son will look up to and will listen to. We all have those moments during the teen years when we are scared that our boys will "go off the rails," or that we haven't done enough to prepare them (without stressing them out). I am so grateful that I had this coach - this man - to call on in those moments. He knew how to speak to our son in a way that only a great coach does. My husband and I let out a big sigh of relief when our son committed to a school. But our bigger relief was that he would be alright - no matter what the future held, because he had Coach Cahill as a role model. And, for the record, he still does.

As a rugby player from the UK, Coach Cahill saw potential in me as a kicker/punter and now I'm playing college football for MWSU. Without his help, I would never have believed that this was even possible. I am truly grateful for the doors that Coach Cahill opened for me and for having belief that I could make this transition into a new sport.

There is no better kicking/punting coach than Coach Cahill! I have been fortunate to have him work with many of my kickers and he is the only kicking coach that I recommend to my guys. Watching my guys develop has been absolutely unbelievable and they are now fortunate enough to have collegiate opportunities that would not have been possible without Coach Cahill. If you are a kicker/punter not working with Coach Cahill you are doing yourself a disservice. Most importantly, he is an even better person than coach!
Aug 23, 2022
Coach Cahill turned me from a kid who did not know how to kick a football into a Punter at Georgetown university in only a year. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he taught me everything I know about punting and now I’m playing division 1. This guy is legit! Great person and really fun to work with.
Aug 23, 2022
In May 2021, my son Szymon Gawlick, who had already played collegiate soccer as a freshman, decided to change sports. This decision to reinvent himself as a placekicker has contributed to my son’s immense athletic and personal growth, none of which would have occurred without the extraordinary guidance of Brendan Cahill. Coach Cahill was recommended to us by Matt Thurin, a special teams coordinator and a defensive assistant coach with the Boston College Eagles, as one of the best and most sought-after kicking coaches in the Northeast. I cannot begin to express how life-changing the past 16 months have been for my son while working with Brendan. Brendan’s technical expertise helps young kickers learn the art of kicking to develop a style that most effectively draws on the individual athlete’s capabilities for maximum success. He not only assists with every aspect of developing an effective technique, but also shares his invaluable insights into how to work towards, maintain and cultivate healthy kicking practices. These are as critical as learning to kick correctly since the physical strain of kicking is often overlooked and requires expert understanding in order to ensure kicking longevity and the physical health of the athlete. Brendan’s instruction helps his kickers learn correct practices, routines, and find the critical balance of when to do what and how much. To this end, Brendan also always offers to connect his kickers to his numerous collegiate and professional contacts in order to learn important stretching, mobility and strengthening regimens so that his charges learn how to most effectively and efficiently take care of their bodies and the physical demands of kicking. Learning how to become and be a kicker, learning all that is involved on and off the field has changed my son’s life! In addition to his expert technical instruction, Brendan’s coaching addresses what is as important as the kicking itself: the mental side. He teaches strategies how to cope with what is in effect a very solitary and intensely stressful position. His numerous podcasts that he makes available to his kickers as well as always being available to talk, listen, advise and help his kickers learn to help themselves is an invaluable strength of his coaching. In fact, this goes far beyond coaching, he teaches life skills. As an educator all my life, I profoundly appreciate and am in awe of the manner, the ease, the gracious humor, and relaxed yet always focused way in which Brendan communicates with his kickers. I witness this every time I watch the frequent group sessions he offers, or when I see him engage in private instruction. His gentle expert demeanor puts athletes at ease and so they maximally listen to him and internalize his advice. As all parents will know, one’s own children will often resist listening to their parents; with Brendan they have not only a coach and mentor, but also a friend with whom they can entrust sharing the challenges and pressures of being a high-level athlete For a parent, this is priceless!!! Knowing that my son is in such caring, expert and good hands gives a peace of mind that is priceless. Lastly, let me share Brendan’s singular ability to help kickers and their families navigate the oft overwhelming process of finding the college that best fits the individual kicker. His advice is gold; for Szymon, he was critical in helping identify SCSU as the optimal program for my son to transfer into. And then, once there, Brendan has been a most trusted mentor for my son as he learns, grows and develops on and off the field! Most importantly, Brendan teaches his kickers how to maintain a healthy outlook and perspective through the lows and highs that are inevitably bound to this position. Brendan is a blessing in my son’s life and it is a true privilege bearing witness to all that he is giving him and offering him, and patiently teaching him with the skills to pursue his goal of kicking at the highest level.

Coach Cahill was an honest and genuine voice to talk to through the college recruiting process. Coach Cahill does not sell shortcuts or promises. He listened to my son's goals and worked with him to set up a plan for success.

Coach Cahill is working with my son on kicking and punting. My son’s distance and accuracy improves with each lesson, and he understands better the dynamics and importance of proper technique. Coach Cahill keeps the sessions fun but moving at a quick pace with a ton of quality instruction. He is firm when he needs to be to get a point across or fix a recurring technique flaw. The videos, Twitter posts and college recruiting advice is also invaluable. I highly recommend Coach Cahill.

My son has only recently started working with Coach Cahill but it has started out well. As a parent, one of the qualities I like about him is that he is honest - honest (and transparent) about the recruiting process and honest (and supportive) of my son's skills and potential. These are very important points in today's crazy college world. Top notch instruction. And the fact that he is a super nice person and easy to work with is icing on the cake. Looking forward to seeing where this takes my son.

My name is Will Law. I'm a junior kicker/punter in the recruiting process. Kicking-wise, I'm working on keeping my body "taller" through contact so I have less of a crunch. I am also working on keeping my foot and leg locked out at contact. These were both tips that Coach Cahill gave me, and as I got better at them, I began to hit the ball more cleanly and become more consistent. When working with Coach Cahill, you do not only get great advice on how to improve based on years of experience, but you get Coach's vast resourcefulness during the recruiting process, as well. Coach has provided me with many names of college coaches to reach out to and has guided me recruiting-wise with his podcasts, webpage, and most importantly his Twitter posts. Coach Cahill is one of the most enthusiastic coaches I've met, and he will help out his kickers in any way he can whether it be on or off the field.

I am a class of 2023 K/P from Massachusetts. Coach Cahill is a great coach and I always come home from his sessions having learned something new and have something to practice. He is a great resource to have and always there to answer any questions I may have about kicking/punting or recruiting. Coach Cahill is very knowledgeable about kicking and punting and can help any specialist improve on their technique.

Coach Cahill worked with me throughout my high school career, he was a great coach for a kicker, and really good in knowing the recruiting process. I also worked for him for his podcast, he was a great boss who respected me as an employee and valued my work. Even since I have been done with kicking, he has still been more than willing to help me in my goal to become a coach, offering his connections to help me get my foot in the door. I can not recommend him enough

I highly recommend working with Coach Cahill. First, I describe working with Brendan as an MBA class on recruiting. We had not been in this environment prior and his guidance and contacts were amazing. Second, from a performance perspective he knows techniques and most importantly clarifies what is most important and what measurable’s to hit. Last, and I told this to one of his mentors, is that he always goes beyond what is expected, checking in, guiding and helping kids grow and make decisions and take actions ‘as adults’ entering this new world. Many thanks Coach!

Coming from a small school that plays 8-man football and us not fielding a team my Junior year due to Covid Restrictions, the prospect of punting in college was slim at the beginning of the school year. I had mixed results at a few camps this past summer; consistency was my biggest issue. I was fortunate enough for one of the Special Teams coaches to see enough in me to recommend Coach Cahill. Coach Cahill helped me with my overall technique (catch, steps, drop, etc.) and confidence, which has led to improvements in my punting results, which culminated in a strong performance at a regional Showcase in November. Through his sessions, my film was able to reach many college coaches via his Twitter (he has a vast network). I am thrilled to say I will be attending an outstanding college this fall that is a great academic, social and athletic fit. Securing a Roster Spot with this program would not have been possible without the assistance/training from Coach Cahill. I am really excited to resume punting with Coach Cahill again when my lacrosse season ends. I can’t wait to see my progress over the summer and into the fall! Thank You Coach Cahill! Josh

Working with Coach Cahill has been an absolute pleasure!!! He has been very proactive and organized in his approach to finding my son what he wanted. The way he handled this whole process was very useful because he gave lots of great advice, guidance and information about exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, Brendan was really easy to talk to and I could tell he’s an honest and genuine person who really cares about the service he provides. Thank you Coach Cahill! Keep up the good work!!

My name is Jordan Conn and I was a kicker on the University of New Hampshire football team. I started training with Coach Cahill during my sophomore season in high school and he was invaluable in the development of my kicking game. I perfected the fundamentals while training with Coach Cahill and he was a major reason I was able to play the Divison I level. Coach Cahill has become more than just a coach to me, he is a friend. I really enjoyed going to the field to train.

I am a parent of a student/athlete who is a kicker at a very good NESCAC school. Coach Cahill was instrumental in helping my son (and his parents) to find the confidence and develop the habits for not just being a solid kicker but also a viable prospect for schools. Coach Cahill’s wholistic approach focuses not just on success on the field, but also with academics and life. He is constantly educating himself through interactions with coaches and athletes of all levels to discover what makes them successful. More importantly, he wants to know what didn’t work. I truly appreciate that Coach Cahill really invests himself in his athletes and is genuinely concerned with how they are navigating through their high school, college and beyond.

Coach Cahil is the best. He’s helped me become a great kicker and even a better kid. Brendan is very nice and helpful.

I’ve been working with Coach Cahill for a year now. He has helped me to improve my form and technique. Without him I wouldn’t be kicking at the level I’m kicking at now. My first lesson learned with Coach Cahill was the importance of maintaining eye contact when speaking with someone, a lesson I still follow today when meeting college coaches. Coach Cahill also has contacts in the college coaching world and has helped me to setup several college camps and junior day visits.

My name is Samuel Carpenter. Class of 2023 Kicker/Punter. I was invited on visits to Penn State, West Virginia, BC, Duke, Pitt, Mississippi State. Coach Cahill has been more than anyone could wish for because he is not only a coach that helps with on-field kicking but he also extremely helps with recruiting. Coach Cahill is a person I want to surround myself around and he has helped me get to the place I am today.

My son was a little late to the football recruiting process. He started in January of his junior year. Coach Cahill helped him throughout the entire process guiding him how to contact coaches, which schools to target, which visits/camps to attend and how to train. He also worked with him on the technical side of kicking/punting. He was honest and accurate with his assessment of my son’s skillset. If you are a parent of a son with a desire to play in college, I highly recommend engaging with Coach Cahill as early as possible.

If you find Coach Cahill's tweets and podcasts helpful, then I highly recommend that you take up his personal coaching/consulting service. His expertise, his connections and his strategies helped us to navigate the college recruiting process with our son. The process for kicker/punter recruiting is not the same as the recruiting process for other positions. Coach Cahill takes the guesswork out of everything. Our son picked up a bunch of D1 and D3 offers from high academic institutions but eventually decided to commit to a D3 program. Thanks to Coach Cahill, our son feels he got to explore all his options and enjoyed his recruiting journey. The best thing about working with Coach Cahill? We can't get our son to do anything but thankfully, he will listen to Coach Cahill!

Coach Brendan Cahill has been wonderful to work with for the past 11 months. When my son, Luca Lombardo, expressed an interest in kicking (both FGs and KOs), Brendan took a measured approach to turning his soccer kicking form into an effective football weapon. We were working on a tight timeframe, and Brendan delivered. He not only helped with his form, steps, timing and approach, but also helped Luca (and me) understand more about kicking strategy and other nuances. He also used his college coaching contacts to find the perfect place for Luca to begin his kicking career and continue his academic pursuit. With Coach Cahill's help, Luca went from a basic knowledge of the football kicking game, to earning a spot on the Boston College roster, kicking off for the Eagles opening day and throughout the season. Brendan has been professional, helpful and continues to work with Luca. They frequently chat on the phone, discuss strategy, progress and how to continue to perform better. I have a very high opinion of Coach Cahill and am looking forward to what the future holds. Luca will definitely continue to work with him and I could not recommend Brendan more highly! Thank you Brendan for all your help!

When we started with Brendan, we had no idea he would become such an integral part of our son's high school experience. He started as a kicking coach, but quickly became a mentor and a guide, navigating not only our son's training but also the complex world of college recruiting for us. Brendan has a masterful way of understanding the mental and physical aspects of kicking. Honestly, he was so creative in how he worked with our (sometimes stubborn) son, and we are forever grateful he did! There were moments of doubt along the way, but Brendan built a rapport with our son and coached him through the toughest times. His influence was the best thing that could have happened to our son, and thanks to his guidance, he has committed to a college program that is a perfect fit. We are incredibly thankful for Brendan's support and guidance.

To anyone thinking about working with Coach Cahill…..DO IT!!! Coach Cahill met with our son Liam 2 years ago to assist in enhancing his field goal and kick-off skills. After practice, Coach Cahill had a very honest and brunt conversation with our son (All-State kicker who had never punted a day in his life) that he believed if Liam wanted to kick in college it would be as a punter, not a kicker. He was 100% accurate. Fast forward, after exceptional coaching, leadership and encouragement Liam has officially signed to play Division 1 Football at the University of Rhode Island as…..A Punter! None of this would have been possible without that first practice with Coach Cahill, his honesty, experience and most importantly dedication to our son and his dream to play college football.

Coach Cahill worked with my son. It was a fantastic experience for not only my son, but for me too! As a coach, he is a true technician who knows how to get his knowledge across to young players. He understands them and is patient and reassuring, but honest. His “TrackMan” kicking evaluation software was a great tool for getting better and showcasing a kickers talent during the recruiting process. I loved the feedback he gave to my son. It was clear, concise, and to the point. Coach Cahill is great on the field, but his support during the recruiting process was outstanding! There were many times we had questions and Coach Cahill got back to us in a timely manner and never rushed us off the phone. His advice was spot on. His posts on Twitter also helped during this stressful period. He reached out to college coaches multiple times on my sons behalf. I have been a high school football coach 25 years and I would recommend Coach Cahill without any hesitation. I trusted him with my own son…that says it all! In the end, my son will kicking for Cornell University next year.

A picture says 1,000 words! Brendan is the only coach my son has ever worked with, and he’s committed to U Michigan. To say we are thrilled with the results would be an understatement. Working with Brendan has been life altering for our son. His knowledge is endless; both with the fine mechanics of kicking and punting, but also with the recruiting process. I often wonder when he has time to sleep because he is the first one to return a call, or reach out himself, all while he manages to coach. I have always felt like my son was his only client, because he is so invested in his kids. We are Team Cahill all the way.

I am the Head Football coach at Wesleyan University. I am fortunate to have worked with Coach Cahill for many years. He is the best and most elite kicking and punting coach in the country. He does an outstanding job communicating with players and parents. He is organized and honest with them on his evaluation. He lets families know what college options might be available. He has many contacts in college coaching and he is the only kicking and punting coach I contact cause his evaluations are always spot on. When we recruit a kicker/punter that has worked with him we know they will have great technique. He is passionate and cares about his craft and loves to see players get better. I am one of many who reach out to him for his opinion on players. Coach Cahill is truly one of the best in the business. We have had numerous All league kickers/punters and he has worked with all of them.

Jeffrey Sexton- Kicker, Princeton University I didn't know Coach Cahill at all, we were simply just mutuals on Twitter, connected through the small kicking world. When I started my first season of college football this past fall, there were some hiccups through training camp. I was struggling to adjust to the college game. The speed, expectation, and operation was all different. I reached out to Cahill, expecting a quick text back, honestly just looking for some positive reinforcement. Instead, he sent his phone number and we had a long conversation. We ended up staying in touch through the rest of the season and he was a key part to my success. Kicking can be a lonely position, but he really helped change my outlook on the position. Would highly recommend to any upcoming developing kickers, he has an awesome perspective.

My name is Logan Spoelstra. I am a junior in highschool. I started working with Coach Cahill when I was in 7th grade. I started kicking when I was 7 years old in a small flag football league. Everything I knew up to that point was from YouTube videos. My parents learned about Coach Cahill through a friend. It is very hard to find a kicking coach. I have had many coaches try to tell me how to kick. Finding Cahill was the best thing for me. He has been the one constant kicking coach in my life and a key to my success. He has transformed my kicking throughout the years as my body has grown and changed, tweaking my steps or adjusting my approach to maximize my ball contact. Most importantly he has taught me the mechanics of kicking, how to execute, and repetition. I hear him in my head as I go through my routine, set your sights and follow through. I am grateful to have Cahill in my life and on this journey. My family and I know very little about the world of recruiting. Coach Cahill has helped promote my name on Twitter through his large network so college coaches can find me. He has helped put me in direct contact with college coaches. And he has coached me on how to communicate and follow up with coaches. I like working with Cahill in both group and one-on-one sessions. In Group sessions, I have been able to kick with the best college and high school kickers in the area. This has challenged me to push myself to become better. It has also created a brotherhood of kickers. Now when we play against each other, we talk or when I visit a college, I usually know one of the kickers. Coach Cahill has not only been my coach but he is my mentor and friend. I can call or text him any time of the day and he gets right back to me. It’s nice to know I have his support on and off the field. Coach Cahill has mentally prepared me to be a better kicker and punter. It’s a tough position and sometimes it feels like the weight of the moment can crush you. Thank you Coach for all your support and guidance throughout the years. I am excited to see where the future will lead.

My name is Nick Sodano and I am a kicker for the University of North Carolina. I first trained with Coach Cahill about 1 1/2 years ago. Coach Cahill is super knowledgeable in terms of kicking/punting/snapping fundamentals & technique, but is even better at coaching your mental game. Many people overlook this aspect of the kicking game, but he knows how crucial it is to succeed. He is the first person to connect you to coaches, advocate for you, and he'll be your #1 supporter. Another thing I liked about training with Coach Cahill is the ability to train with other top specialists in the area. This allows you to compete and get ready for the next level. In one of our sessions, the punters were able to take snaps with the then #1 ranked snapper in the country who was committed to Auburn. He also focuses on game situations which is super important. If you're a punter, he'll work with you to get it directionally towards the numbers/sideline & make sure you get a good op time. If you're a kicker, he'll make sure you're also getting reps where you are kicking INTO the wind. This ensures you're ready for any situation in a game. All in all, I 100% recommend Coach Cahill and he will for sure elevate your game!!

My name is CJ Kolodziey, I'm a sophomore at UMass and I handle the punts and kickoffs. I have been working with Brendan since my freshman year of high school and ever since then he was always someone I could reach out to if I needed absolutely anything whether it was in school or football. Although I'm not particularly close to where our kicking sessions are, it's always fun to make the drive and kick with Brendan and all the other great kickers, punters and snappers he brings out. I've met a ton of amazing new people over the years that I now play against in college and it's so cool because I wouldn't have known these people if it weren't for Brendan. The amount of support Brendan has given me over the years has been incredible. I wouldn't be at UMass or where I am today if it wasn't for him. The bonds I've made with all the people I've worked with is something you can't find from working with any other coach. When working with Brendan it's something you can't find anywhere else. If you have a problem with little things he helps you and will asses your problems so you can be the best kicker/punter possible. I can't thank him enough for everything he's done for me and getting to where I've ended up today.

My name is Lowell Carr, a Senior Kicker/Punter at Colby College who handles all kicking duties for my team. After just one session with Coach Cahill, I felt both confident and refreshed. As a kicker, often times we let the weight of the world rest on our shoulders worrying about our steps, foot-to-ball contact and technique, etc. The way in which Coach Cahill navigates these mental obstacles with his clients is second to none. I felt so much more confident in all areas of my kicking game, which translated to the field the very next practice I had. I would highly recommend at least a session with Coach Cahill to any kicker/punter at any level.

I really cannot say enough about Coach Cahill. He's an absolute magician: wise, skilled, savvy, emotionally intelligent, kind, plugged in, knowledgeable, and a deeply good person. It's remarkable how his coaching involves every aspect of the game - the technical; the mental; the physical strength and health; and the insight into how the whole system of high school and college kicking actually works. Our middle schooler has been working with Coach for over a year now. His technique has transformed, and his passion and commitment grow by the day. Even though we live pretty far away from Coach, and working with him involves driving about 1.5 hours, he's always ready to jump in the car. He knows that Coach has the highest expectations of him, and that they'll be communicated in an infinitely decent manner. As a result, he always jumps to do whatever he advises. Coach is also an excellent communicator with us parents. If your child (or you) is serious about kicking, you should drop everything and get in touch with Coach Cahill!

My son Ty Groff has been working with Brendan for six years. Brendan is patient and extremely knowledgeable. He assist each player with simple easy to follow instruction that specialist work on while not with Brendan. Ty has gone from a good high school kicker to an All-State kicker his junior year leading Connecticut is field goals, kick points, and punts inside the 20 thanks to Brendan's help. Based on this Brendan has introduced Ty to several college kicking and special teams coaches. Brendan help has been invaluable.

Our son Matt was in his Junior year when he met Brendan through twitter. None of us knew anything about the college recruiting process. We reached out to Brendan and Matt quickly learned about junior days, how to contact coaches, promoting tools for emails and twitter. Beyond that, Brendan is an exceptional kicking coach who always made time to work with Matt. He went out of his way to include him in group trainings and kept up on his progress regularly. Brendan is in this business for the right reasons - he truly wants his players to succeed. There was never a time he wasn't available to answer our questions. Brendan is also honest in setting goals and expectations for his kickers......and their parents! We paid for SAT tutors, college counselors and football camps. Using Brendan was the best money we spent and he never acted like the money mattered - he is motivated by the success of the player. When Matt received offers from colleges, Brendan was one of the first people he called. Brendan even guided him through the important process of choosing a college. We appreciated that his top advice was to pick the school he could see himself attending without football. Matt will be attending Amherst College and will continue to work with Brendan. We highly recommend Brendan, he is great!

Working with Coach Cahill altered the course of my son's life. During his first session with Brendan as a 10th grader, he managed to break a BMW's windshield in the adjacent parking lot (wide left). It was the beginning of a years-long lesson in handling adversity. My son was genetically cursed with a D3 body, and a HS team that rarely crossed midfield and would allow any deep kickoff to be returned to the house. But Brendan was able to convince him that his solid technique, with the addition of hard work, strength training and excellent grades could take him as far as he wanted to go. And Brendan's guidance combined with my son's natural assertiveness convinced him to "crash" Junior Recruiting days even when uninvited. If coaches weren't going to give him a sniff, he would hunt them down himself. End result: My son won a Preferred Walk-On spot at his dream school, won Special Teams Scout Team POY as a freshman, and earned his spot as a D1 starting kicker as a sophomore. Most importantly, that "focus only on the next kick" mentality that Brendan instilled in him still carries him through a variety of challenges even to this day. I never once doubted that Brendan always had my son's best interest in mind, and he will be a friend and mentor for life.

Hey my name is Donato Crisanti, I have been working with Brendan since my sophomore year of high school. I am a long snapper that has been going to him for years to have someone to get live reps in and have punters and kickers to snap to. Brendan has always been there for me to help prepare for my seasons. He may not be a long snapping coach but he does produce the best kickers and punters in the area. Him allowing me to train with him during the off season has allowed me to excel season after season at the University of Rhode Island. I am not only fortunate to call him a coach, but a friend as well.

My son Joseph & I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Brendan through a very good friend, John McCarthy. John’s son, John Jr, had been working with Brendan for more than a year at that point, it was John Jr’s senior year as the kicker & punter for Pleasantville High School. John is now at Ithaca College, where he is punting & kicking. My son Joseph had been kicking since youth football as well as playing soccer till the 8th grade & now was on JV freshman year doing the same. But I realized if Joseph wanted to pursue kicking & punting seriously, he needed someone who has some real big time experience, that’s where Brendan stepped in.Brendan truly has a gift of being able to connect with these young men, not an easy task in today’s environment. He has taught my son to respect the gift he has, he has taught him discipline & a great work ethic. He has taught him, greatness is earned & that you control how good/great you want to be. I have seen my son mature & grow rapidly under Brendan’s guidance. But the number one thing that Brendan points out & constantly is stressing, is to do really well in school. As you strive to be the best on the field, strive just as hard in the classroom. One day football won’t be here for you, but your education & life skills will be with you forever. We are truly blessed to have met Brendan, he has become a mentor & good friend! Joseph is now a sophomore on varsity & is the starting kicker/punter, skies are truly the limit!! Thank you Brendan!

Our son is a junior in high school who played soccer for the past 12 years and recently decided to switch to kicking for his high school's varsity football team. We heard rave reviews about Coach Cahill and sought him out for training. Although our son has only been working with him for a few months, we noticed immediate improvement in his kicking technique/ability and in his desire to work hard to achieve his goals. Coach Cahill is not only a superior kicking coach, but he has also developed a wonderful rapport with our son who listens to his advice and respects him immensely. He has stressed to him the importance of eye contact, gratitude, confidence and self-advocacy. He has also helped to instill a strong work ethic. Coach Cahill is very approachable and responsive when we reach out for guidance or with questions and concerns. Even though not geographically close, he traveled to our high school to work with our son and his special teams unit to ensure they were in sync. We are also looking to him for guidance on the college recruiting process. Our son really enjoys his lessons with Coach Cahill and we cannot recommend him highly enough!
Sep 10, 2022
Coach Cahill really helped me with the mental aspect of the game. I was really struggling through a field goal drought my junior year. He helped me visualize and got me back on track. I ended up kicking a school record 8 field goals that year. His constant mentoring, advice and phone calls I feel like we’re the difference.

Brendan is my go-to guy for anything related to kicking and punting. He is a wealth of knowledge in regard to technique, skill acquisition, and the college recruitment process for specialists. Brendan has worked with multiple specialists at Taft and all have benefited greatly from his services. He is not only always available and goes out of his way to help others, but he is also a highly skilled teacher who connects exceptionally well with his athletes.

I'm a mom of a D1 punter. Until we met Coach Cahill (through another D1 punter), our son got almost no coaching. Although he attended a high school that was often state champs, we quickly learned that Special Teams players are often not understood and are left to their own devices. Coach Cahill worked with our son through his high school years, then guided us through the very stressful and confusing recruitment process (especially during Covid). But everyone on this wall is going to say how awesome Coach Cahill is at coaching and recruitment. Here's what I think is even more important in these times - he is a genuinely kind and giving person who will serve as that man in your son's life who isn't dad, but who your son will look up to and will listen to. We all have those moments during the teen years when we are scared that our boys will "go off the rails," or that we haven't done enough to prepare them (without stressing them out). I am so grateful that I had this coach - this man - to call on in those moments. He knew how to speak to our son in a way that only a great coach does. My husband and I let out a big sigh of relief when our son committed to a school. But our bigger relief was that he would be alright - no matter what the future held, because he had Coach Cahill as a role model. And, for the record, he still does.

As a rugby player from the UK, Coach Cahill saw potential in me as a kicker/punter and now I'm playing college football for MWSU. Without his help, I would never have believed that this was even possible. I am truly grateful for the doors that Coach Cahill opened for me and for having belief that I could make this transition into a new sport.

There is no better kicking/punting coach than Coach Cahill! I have been fortunate to have him work with many of my kickers and he is the only kicking coach that I recommend to my guys. Watching my guys develop has been absolutely unbelievable and they are now fortunate enough to have collegiate opportunities that would not have been possible without Coach Cahill. If you are a kicker/punter not working with Coach Cahill you are doing yourself a disservice. Most importantly, he is an even better person than coach!
Aug 23, 2022
Coach Cahill turned me from a kid who did not know how to kick a football into a Punter at Georgetown university in only a year. It’s not an exaggeration to say that he taught me everything I know about punting and now I’m playing division 1. This guy is legit! Great person and really fun to work with.
Aug 23, 2022
In May 2021, my son Szymon Gawlick, who had already played collegiate soccer as a freshman, decided to change sports. This decision to reinvent himself as a placekicker has contributed to my son’s immense athletic and personal growth, none of which would have occurred without the extraordinary guidance of Brendan Cahill. Coach Cahill was recommended to us by Matt Thurin, a special teams coordinator and a defensive assistant coach with the Boston College Eagles, as one of the best and most sought-after kicking coaches in the Northeast. I cannot begin to express how life-changing the past 16 months have been for my son while working with Brendan. Brendan’s technical expertise helps young kickers learn the art of kicking to develop a style that most effectively draws on the individual athlete’s capabilities for maximum success. He not only assists with every aspect of developing an effective technique, but also shares his invaluable insights into how to work towards, maintain and cultivate healthy kicking practices. These are as critical as learning to kick correctly since the physical strain of kicking is often overlooked and requires expert understanding in order to ensure kicking longevity and the physical health of the athlete. Brendan’s instruction helps his kickers learn correct practices, routines, and find the critical balance of when to do what and how much. To this end, Brendan also always offers to connect his kickers to his numerous collegiate and professional contacts in order to learn important stretching, mobility and strengthening regimens so that his charges learn how to most effectively and efficiently take care of their bodies and the physical demands of kicking. Learning how to become and be a kicker, learning all that is involved on and off the field has changed my son’s life! In addition to his expert technical instruction, Brendan’s coaching addresses what is as important as the kicking itself: the mental side. He teaches strategies how to cope with what is in effect a very solitary and intensely stressful position. His numerous podcasts that he makes available to his kickers as well as always being available to talk, listen, advise and help his kickers learn to help themselves is an invaluable strength of his coaching. In fact, this goes far beyond coaching, he teaches life skills. As an educator all my life, I profoundly appreciate and am in awe of the manner, the ease, the gracious humor, and relaxed yet always focused way in which Brendan communicates with his kickers. I witness this every time I watch the frequent group sessions he offers, or when I see him engage in private instruction. His gentle expert demeanor puts athletes at ease and so they maximally listen to him and internalize his advice. As all parents will know, one’s own children will often resist listening to their parents; with Brendan they have not only a coach and mentor, but also a friend with whom they can entrust sharing the challenges and pressures of being a high-level athlete For a parent, this is priceless!!! Knowing that my son is in such caring, expert and good hands gives a peace of mind that is priceless. Lastly, let me share Brendan’s singular ability to help kickers and their families navigate the oft overwhelming process of finding the college that best fits the individual kicker. His advice is gold; for Szymon, he was critical in helping identify SCSU as the optimal program for my son to transfer into. And then, once there, Brendan has been a most trusted mentor for my son as he learns, grows and develops on and off the field! Most importantly, Brendan teaches his kickers how to maintain a healthy outlook and perspective through the lows and highs that are inevitably bound to this position. Brendan is a blessing in my son’s life and it is a true privilege bearing witness to all that he is giving him and offering him, and patiently teaching him with the skills to pursue his goal of kicking at the highest level.

Coach Cahill was an honest and genuine voice to talk to through the college recruiting process. Coach Cahill does not sell shortcuts or promises. He listened to my son's goals and worked with him to set up a plan for success.
Aug 21, 2022
Coach Cahill is working with my son on kicking and punting. My son’s distance and accuracy improves with each lesson, and he understands better the dynamics and importance of proper technique. Coach Cahill keeps the sessions fun but moving at a quick pace with a ton of quality instruction. He is firm when he needs to be to get a point across or fix a recurring technique flaw. The videos, Twitter posts and college recruiting advice is also invaluable. I highly recommend Coach Cahill.

My son has only recently started working with Coach Cahill but it has started out well. As a parent, one of the qualities I like about him is that he is honest - honest (and transparent) about the recruiting process and honest (and supportive) of my son's skills and potential. These are very important points in today's crazy college world. Top notch instruction. And the fact that he is a super nice person and easy to work with is icing on the cake. Looking forward to seeing where this takes my son.

My name is Will Law. I'm a junior kicker/punter in the recruiting process. Kicking-wise, I'm working on keeping my body "taller" through contact so I have less of a crunch. I am also working on keeping my foot and leg locked out at contact. These were both tips that Coach Cahill gave me, and as I got better at them, I began to hit the ball more cleanly and become more consistent. When working with Coach Cahill, you do not only get great advice on how to improve based on years of experience, but you get Coach's vast resourcefulness during the recruiting process, as well. Coach has provided me with many names of college coaches to reach out to and has guided me recruiting-wise with his podcasts, webpage, and most importantly his Twitter posts. Coach Cahill is one of the most enthusiastic coaches I've met, and he will help out his kickers in any way he can whether it be on or off the field.

I am a class of 2023 K/P from Massachusetts. Coach Cahill is a great coach and I always come home from his sessions having learned something new and have something to practice. He is a great resource to have and always there to answer any questions I may have about kicking/punting or recruiting. Coach Cahill is very knowledgeable about kicking and punting and can help any specialist improve on their technique.

Coach Cahill worked with me throughout my high school career, he was a great coach for a kicker, and really good in knowing the recruiting process. I also worked for him for his podcast, he was a great boss who respected me as an employee and valued my work. Even since I have been done with kicking, he has still been more than willing to help me in my goal to become a coach, offering his connections to help me get my foot in the door. I can not recommend him enough

Steve Schabel
I highly recommend working with Coach Cahill. First, I describe working with Brendan as an MBA class on recruiting. We had not been in this environment prior and his guidance and contacts were amazing. Second, from a performance perspective he knows techniques and most importantly clarifies what is most important and what measurable’s to hit. Last, and I told this to one of his mentors, is that he always goes beyond what is expected, checking in, guiding and helping kids grow and make decisions and take actions ‘as adults’ entering this new world. Many thanks Coach!
Apr 7, 2022
Coming from a small school that plays 8-man football and us not fielding a team my Junior year due to Covid Restrictions, the prospect of punting in college was slim at the beginning of the school year. I had mixed results at a few camps this past summer; consistency was my biggest issue. I was fortunate enough for one of the Special Teams coaches to see enough in me to recommend Coach Cahill. Coach Cahill helped me with my overall technique (catch, steps, drop, etc.) and confidence, which has led to improvements in my punting results, which culminated in a strong performance at a regional Showcase in November. Through his sessions, my film was able to reach many college coaches via his Twitter (he has a vast network). I am thrilled to say I will be attending an outstanding college this fall that is a great academic, social and athletic fit. Securing a Roster Spot with this program would not have been possible without the assistance/training from Coach Cahill. I am really excited to resume punting with Coach Cahill again when my lacrosse season ends. I can’t wait to see my progress over the summer and into the fall! Thank You Coach Cahill! Josh

My son Ben is a junior kicker for Milton Academy. Brendan has provided not only quality kicking instruction to Ben, but also invaluable information related to the college process. My advice- start early and work with him often and you won’t be disappointed.

Working with Coach Cahill has been an absolute pleasure!!! He has been very proactive and organized in his approach to finding my son what he wanted. The way he handled this whole process was very useful because he gave lots of great advice, guidance and information about exactly what we were looking for. Additionally, Brendan was really easy to talk to and I could tell he’s an honest and genuine person who really cares about the service he provides. Thank you Coach Cahill! Keep up the good work!!

My name is Jordan Conn and I was a kicker on the University of New Hampshire football team. I started training with Coach Cahill during my sophomore season in high school and he was invaluable in the development of my kicking game. I perfected the fundamentals while training with Coach Cahill and he was a major reason I was able to play the Divison I level. Coach Cahill has become more than just a coach to me, he is a friend. I really enjoyed going to the field to train.

I am a parent of a student/athlete who is a kicker at a very good NESCAC school. Coach Cahill was instrumental in helping my son (and his parents) to find the confidence and develop the habits for not just being a solid kicker but also a viable prospect for schools. Coach Cahill’s wholistic approach focuses not just on success on the field, but also with academics and life. He is constantly educating himself through interactions with coaches and athletes of all levels to discover what makes them successful. More importantly, he wants to know what didn’t work. I truly appreciate that Coach Cahill really invests himself in his athletes and is genuinely concerned with how they are navigating through their high school, college and beyond.

Coach Cahil is the best. He’s helped me become a great kicker and even a better kid. Brendan is very nice and helpful.

I’ve been working with Coach Cahill for a year now. He has helped me to improve my form and technique. Without him I wouldn’t be kicking at the level I’m kicking at now. My first lesson learned with Coach Cahill was the importance of maintaining eye contact when speaking with someone, a lesson I still follow today when meeting college coaches. Coach Cahill also has contacts in the college coaching world and has helped me to setup several college camps and junior day visits.

My name is Samuel Carpenter. Class of 2023 Kicker/Punter. I was invited on visits to Penn State, West Virginia, BC, Duke, Pitt, Mississippi State. Coach Cahill has been more than anyone could wish for because he is not only a coach that helps with on-field kicking but he also extremely helps with recruiting. Coach Cahill is a person I want to surround myself around and he has helped me get to the place I am today.
