Kicking Stance
Almost all soccer-style kickers share a similar approach to the ball: knees bent, leaning forward at the waist, taking three steps, and then proceeding to kick the ball. Examples of unusual approaches include Paul Edinger, who stood backwards, and spun around 180 degrees to kick the ball, and Donald Igwebuike, who played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, took a step backwards before approaching the ball.

Famous quotes containing the words kicking and/or stance:
“All successful revolutions are the kicking in of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men who charge into a vacuum.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
