Soggust Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Thought this was kind of a cool story. Obviously this was just for fun, but maybe we will see a woman in the NFL someday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minutemancl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I had a friend in high school who was the goalie for the soccer team. When our high school had powderpuff, she was the kicker for her team. She was out there drilling 40 yard field goals in practice consistently. She recorded it on her phone (obviously), and actually showed it to David Akers when he came to visit our school for something. It was really cool, but I don't think it was a special case. Those womens soccer team players are legit. I honestly think it would just take one of those higher level players to really commit to becoming an NFL kicker and we'll see a woman in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Activated10 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I don't get why more NFL teams look at soccer players for potential kickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't realize how mentally difficult being a kicker is. Imo it's the most stressful position, especially when your kick is the difference beween winning and losing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the goalie just makes a better play. In gridiron football, blocked kicks are very rare, so most times it comes down to your accuracy and kicking strength.

I'm sure, just like in the NFL, there are more mentally resilient players and players who are not mentally resilient in soccer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can just drop a soccer player that never really played gridiron football onto an NFL team as their kicker. Sure, you have your Antonio Gates and Jimmy Grahams, but thats the exception not the rule. Edited August 21, 2019 by Elky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah sure she's a world cup champion who maybe can handle pressure but what happens when she's on her period and when it's time for the game winning kick she just wants to watch a rom com. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
