Rob Maver, Top Canadian Combination Kicking Specialist in 2010 CFL Draft said: “The Pro Development camps are the best way that college and free agent specialists can prepare themselves for the next level. In these three-day camps, you go over specific fundamentals/drills. On top of the fundamentals, more importantly the camp tells you exactly what the NFL standards are, and what exactly will be expected from you in the NFL.
This includes charts (handed out in hard copy plus gone over on PowerPoint) of snapping times, handling times, hang times, and expected field goal percentages. The meetings make it clear what these standards are and show you how to practice properly. This includes how to film yourself, and when a camera is not available how to chart yourself properly so that you can monitor each practice.
The camp also shows you how you stack up against other top kicking specialists. The camp includes full operation: snap to punt, and snap to hold to kick. Beyond this is the sports psychology presentation by James Wilhoit. With 99% of the guys in the league, what separates them from one another is not their leg, but what is between their ears. These last two key elements are great for preparing you for upcoming competition in training camp.”
Morgan Cox, University of Tennessee Long Snapper and Senior Bowl participant said: "Coach Zauner's Pro Development Camp was a great chance for me to compete against other top long snappers. It gave me an opportunity to pick up tips and techniques that other guys are using to be successful. Also, I was able to develop relationships with guys that have very similar backgrounds and personalities. The atmosphere was competitive but friendly at the same time.
Coach Zauner also offered his professional advice on snapping as well as his insight into the NFL process, which was invaluable in my development seeking his knowledge during college, I was able to be ready for what the NFL will expect. Coach Zauner's most helpful moments often came in his video review when we went over my technique and footwork.
While learning the physical aspects of snapping, Coach Zauner also offered preparation mentally through the help of James Wilhoit, who presented his extensive research in Sport Psychology in a manner that applied to my game personally. Coach Zauner's Pro Development Camp is the complete package for any kicker, punter, or snapper seeking to take their game to the highest level."
