“I had the privilege of working with Coach Gary Zauner for 5 years while playing for the Minnesota Vikings. Gary
is easily the most knowledgeable kicking coach in the country. His approach of blending all the technical aspects
of kicking with a practical common sense approach, is one of Gary’s finest qualities. He can improve any kicker
in a very short period of time and put you on a precise road to success. He is simply the Very Best!” |

Matt Stover: #3 - 18th Season NFL Kicker
Browns ▪ Ravens |
“Gary and I had a tremendous working relationship for four years with the Baltimore Ravens. His attention to
detail and ability to observe and coach my style of kicking, helped me stay on track to an 87.6% accuracy during
our time together. The working environment Gary created for me allowed me to become more efficient and
effective as a NFL kicker.” If you’re a NFL or College kicker having a kicking problem or just looking for some
expert kicking instruction I would highly recommend giving Gary a call!” |

“Gary’s insight and knowledge of the kicking game is exceptional. He has helped me several times over my career and simply is the best kicking analyst, bar none, in the business. As a former kicker, Gary truly understands
the ups and downs a specialist goes through.” |

“After two days of kicking with Gary my consistency and accuracy improved on my kickoffs. I am confident this
will help me this upcoming 1992 season. Gary works within the individual styles of today’s pro kickers. He’s one
of the best in the business, and I enjoyed working with him.” |

Raiders ▪ Browns ▪ Bears

“I first met Gary in 1988 when I was a member of the Cleveland Browns. We adjusted my kickoff approach which
helped me to kickoff with increased distance and accuracy. I have now gone back to work with Gary on my field
goal technique. I would suggest to any pro or college kicker if you need a confidence boost or have any deficiency
in your kicking game, or want to be a better kicker, invest some time with Gary – I did and it paid big dividends.” |

Bears ▪ Cardinals

“After a injury-plagued 1991 season, I needed help. Gary came into mini and training camp and got me back kicking the way I use to kick. I’m now kicking the ball straighter, with more power and consistency. Gary not only
helped my technique but helped to restore my confidence. He’s the best when it comes to training kickers." |

Mitch Berger #17 - 12 Year NFL Punter & Kickoffs
Eagles ▪ Vikings ▪ Rams ▪ Saints ▪ Arizona

“I owe a lot of my NFL career to Coach Zauner. I had been cut from 6 NFL teams when Coach Zauner and the
Minnesota Vikings picked me up in 1996. Like most punters, I knew I had the talent, but needed the right
situation and coaching. Gary’s expertise working with punters paid dividends for me! He gave me fundamentals
and drills to work on everyday. We created a punting style and routine that has worked for me. I got better
each year and finally was selected to my 1st Pro Bowl in the 1999 season. These drills and fundamentals have
stayed with me and have been a major impact on my success throughout my career. Even now, after my 2006
IR season, I am back 100% physically and working with Gary again this summer on fundamentals and drills! I’ve
been around a lot of kicking coaches in my time and Gary is the best punting, and kicking coach in the Country.
He has made a difference in my career and can do the same for you!” |

David Zastudil #15 - 5 Year NFL Punter
Ravens ▪ Browns |
“I worked with Coach Zauner for 4 years in Baltimore, I will tell you that he is a great kicking coach. He has a
vast amount of knowledge and knows how to impart it to his punters and kickers and get results. I learned
essential fundamentals, drills and developed a routine that I use everyday in practice. Also, Coach “Z” has a great
gift for seeing flaws in punters and kickers techniques and correcting them with drills. His ability to see my
flaws and make the proper corrections made me a more consistent punter, which improved my performance and
helped me become the punter I am today. Coach Zauner is one of the few coaches that truly understands the totalkicking game and knows how to get the most out of his kickers." |

“Working with Gary in mini-camp, summer and training camp of the 1992 season greatly improved my punting
and kickoff technique. The punting drills Gary introduced to me made me a more consistent and fundamentally
sound punter. Most importantly, it really helped my confidence!” |

Lee Johnson #11 - 18 Year NFL Punter & Kickoffs
Oilers ▪ Browns ▪ Bengals |
“Gary Zauner is the most knowledgeable and informed kicking coach in the business today. His ideas and
advice are great and have been extremely helpful to me when I needed it most, at Brigham Young University.
Gary is a life saver when your confidence and consistency are struggling. Last year, when I was struggling, I
went to Gary and asked him to help me change my drop. The new drop not only improved my consistency but
also my overall punting performance. Gary helped me to be a smoother and more consistent punter, and I
believe he can do the same for you!” |

Mike Saxon #4 - 11 Year NFL Punter
Cowboys ▪ Patriots ▪ Vikings |
“I believe my dedication, hard work and Coach Zauner’s coaching have been the main reasons for me getting into and staying in the NFL. Working with Coach has been the best investment I have made in my punting career.
We have worked together the past seven years to create a punting style and technique which is best for me.
Some kicking coaches try to teach punting only one way, or try to change you. Gary learns your style, then works
to refine it. During the season, if I have any problems, Coach is a phone call or flight away for a quick tune-up.
I would recommend any college or pro kicker to check out Coach’s program. Consistent punting has helped me
achieve my incentives and negotiate bigger and better contracts. But the bottom line is this: it can help your team
win games!” |

Derrick Frost #4 - 3 Year NFL Punter
Ravens ▪ Browns ▪ Redskins |
“I first met Coach Zauner 4 years ago. He was the only Special Teams Coach that came to work me out privately
when I graduated from Northern Iowa. I feel extremely fortunate to have been coached by Gary during my first
year in the NFL. While with the Ravens in 2003, Coach Zauner helped me develop a routine of drills that refined
my punting technique. Although I was only with the Ravens for training camp, the confidence and consistency
I gained over such a short period of time was crucial to furthering my career. Coach Zauner has proven to be a
great coach and someone who cares about me and the growth of my career.” |
