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.

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.

Logan Spoelstra
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!!

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!

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.

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!
