Coach Miles works with the Place kicker to make sure his form is correct on Field Goals. 

Coach Miles admits that it has been a great experience coaching Kickers because it is a challenge working with kickers to get into a kickers mind which many know is not an easy thing to master. Main advantage Coach Miles has over many other coaches is he once Punted and kicked in his playing days the 80's as a Punter and has had success coaching kickers in High School.
So far this year the EWC Kicking teams have been some of the top kickers in the NAIA.
