CHARLIE GORHAM, KICKING CONSULTANT
My experience as a placekicker for the University of Arizona 1972 and 1973 Varsity Football Teams, combined with coaching and training by former Dallas Cowboys Kicking Coach, Ben Agajanian (a friend and mentor for 52 years), has provided me with a clear understanding of the importance of the kicking game to any football team. I have also gained valuable insight into the necessity for balance between technique and mental preparation which is required for success in eithere kicking position. My
strengths in these areas, in addition to my ability as a motivator, have provided me with the skills necessary to provide a valuable service to your organization.
