Breaking down the Oregon Football kickers’ journey of recovery to taking reps in fall camp.
Kickoffs can impact the momentum of a team. Whether it’s an onside kick allowing the kicking team to get the ball back, driving the ball deep for a touchback, or giving up a big return, special teams are often overlooked in how they can position their side for success.. He handled kickoff duties in 12 of Oregon’s 13 games, including completing a recovered onside kick against then-No. 9 UCLA.
“I had a little bit of knee trouble last year, but we're healthy now, ready for this year,” Boyle said. Getting back to playing shape is tough for any athlete. The grueling rehab and transitioning back into reps and drills can seem like a monumental task, especially for a player that’s expected to be accurate on every kick.
“I think there are a lot of ways you can go about mental toughness, especially as a kicker, like I said, it's a one play mentality,” Boyle said. “So you just got to know, no matter what you did on the last kick, you can't let it affect your next play, your next game, your next day. So it's really just about, I think, being in the present.
