“With spring practice (OTAs, mini camps) now finished in my 3rd year. I want to take the time to send a huge appreciation to my man Kyle Stelter founder and owner of Special Teams University. Those who may not know, I had never snapped a ball in a football game, up till last off season, since 10th grade in high school. Last off season I made a conscious effort to improve my snapping, but i was still focused on playing my natural linebacker/core special team positions. Through all of the struggles of last off season and the hard work I became the full time snapper. Last season was my first doing so and with the help of Vinatieri and Sanchez we became a solid unit. Good enough will never be good enough, when better is required. With Special Teams U and Kyle Stelter ….through 4 virtual sessions…from here in Indianapolis, I was coached to tweak my grip,balance, core activation to make my snap with less effort, my velocity increased dramatically, and my locations and accuracy drastically improved with it. So thank you to Special Teams U for the coaching! Cant wait to see where this season is going to take us!”

“I only started snapping about 2 years ago and worked with Coach Stelter of Special Teams U coming out of college at Duquesne University and it was great. He really gave me the techniques and drills I needed to become better! My Membership expired and I didn’t renew it and I realized it was a HUGE mistake. Two years later, after being with two different NFL teams as a long snapper, I finally reached back out to Coach. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. Just through Virtual Lessons he was able to pick apart my snap and tweak it to make me more efficient and controlled as well as gave me drills to work on. I now feel like I’m throwing the best ball of my life and I’m ready for my next professional opportunity!”

“The last couple of years, just kind of fine tuning technique and efficiency in the movements. And that’s something that’s been really helpful to me. This guy [ Coach Stelter ] helped me see the how to be efficient in the long snap.There’s certain positions you got to hit to create max velocity, max speed, max efficiency in the snap. So that’s something that’s been really helpful to me in the last three or four years.”

“I enjoyed working with Coach Stelter through my Special Teams U Membership. When I was having issues and had questions about my snap, he always knew how to fix my issues or had the answer to my questions. When I was transferring from Washington State to TCU there was a lot of uncertainty and it helped having someone there for me when I needed them. It was great to have someone evaluate me and be honest with me when it came to how well I was actually doing. He is honest and will not just tell you what you want to hear to make you happy, and that is what you look for in a coach. I recommend to give coach Stelter a try at some point in your career if you want to be an elite snapper.”

“Special Teams U has been invaluable in keeping my football dreams alive. Coach Stelter is one of those guys that you go to and he’ll tailor it. You don’t just do 10 snaps and send you on your way. He’ll make you do 10 snaps and he’ll stop midway. He’ll say, ‘do you know WHAT you’re doing’ or ‘what are you feeling?’ ‘Do you understand why we’re doing it?’ And to have that kind of teaching and that kind of individualized coaching it makes all the difference in the world.”

“I had an amazing couple days in Eau Claire WI, and I feel like a more accurate long snapper now. Coach Stelter has specific exercises and drills that make you more aware of what the most efficient movement should be, and it definitely translates to when you’re actually snapping a football. I never thought that a 3 hour snapping session would fly by so fast! I recommend Special Teams U to every long snapper looking to improve their game!”

“I first started working with Coach Stelter after my freshman year at the Naval Academy when I found him on social media. It started with a Virtual Lesson, and ended with me having a superb senior year and even achieving Special Teams U All-American Honorable Mention. Over the course of a few years we were able to meet in person for Private Lessons and continue with Virtual Lessons as well. Whether I was having issues or just wanting to get better and more efficient with my snapping, he had all the answers. He has long snapping broken down to a science. He can give you very detailed explanations for everything when it comes to form and efficiency. I’m very grateful that I had him and the Special Teams U Brotherhood as an asset during my time as a college long snapper.”
