Coach Suzi Freeman
Parent's of Kickers, Punters and Long Snappers
Join Coach Suzi for monthly parent meet-ups designed specifically for parents of kickers, punters, and long snappers.
Each month, we'll tackle timely topics based on what's happening throughout the football season. You'll get a short, valuable lesson from Coach Suzi, followed by an open discussion where you can ask questions, share experiences, and connect with other specialist parents.
All parents are welcome! You do not need to be a current coaching client to attend.

Ranking camps offer kickers, punters, and long snappers a great chance to compete, get exposure, and see where they stand. But is your athlete mentally ready for that environment?
What happens if they miss their first kick? Have a bad snap? Don't perform the way they expected?
Do they reset and move forward, or does one mistake affect the rest of their performance?
Not every athlete needs to jump straight into a nationally ranked competition.
Sometimes the smarter move is starting with smaller competitions, developing confidence under pressure, and learning how to recover from mistakes before stepping onto a bigger stage.

PORTAL CHAOS: The Good, the Bad & the Reality of College Football Transfers
The transfer portal has completely changed college football recruiting.
Players are leaving programs, coaches are rebuilding rosters, and high school recruits are competing with experienced college athletes for opportunities.
So how do you help your athlete make smart decisions in the middle of all this chaos?
My biggest piece of advice: Don't chase logos. Chase the right opportunity.
A big-name program doesn't automatically mean better development, more playing time, or a better college experience.
Specialists live in the space between waiting and execution.
My work is built for that reality, helping kickers, punters, and long snappers trust their training, quiet the noise, and execute when one rep matters.
Trusted by Specialists Competing at The Highest Levels
The athletes I coach are currently competing in the NFL, at elite colleges, and at top-ranked high school levels.

HIGH-TOUCH, FULLY CUSTOM COACHING
Private Coaching
Private coaching is my most individualized level of work.
Everything is built around the athlete, from the coaching plan and performance tools to a private Mental Performance Dashboard inside the app, customized with the routines, recordings, prompts, reset strategies, and resources that the athlete needs most.
I typically work in 3-6 month programs because the strongest transformations take time to identify the deeper pattern, change it, and train the new response until it holds under pressure.
Why It Works
The work is highly personal, highly responsive, and built around what is happening in the athlete’s performance right now.
For athletes dealing with an urgent issue, I also offer SOS sessions. These are designed for situations that need quick attention, and we can often make major progress in a very short window, sometimes within a few days.
