"I have been around coaching and strength and conditioning for 20 plus years and Coach Christian Vitale has shown me how dedicated he is to his players by giving them the best information on technique and is a example of 'hard work'. My philosophy is 'Success is a planned event' Christian Vitale has a plan for success."

"Christian Vitale is one of the best special teams coaches in the state of Michigan. His commitment to the fundamentals of kicking and punting have guided many young men to greatness at both the high school and college level. I was invited to Christian's "Special Ops" camp this past year and was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of special teams and his ability to coach the ins and outs of kicking a football. I would highly recommend Christian and his camp to anyone seeking to improve as a punter."

Nick Harris

"I own a Semi-Pro Football team in Traverse City, Michigan. I invited Mr. Vitale to come up and teach our players some special teams material that he is infamous for. My Players and coaching staff are very pleased with the system Mr. Vitale showed them. I feel that with this system that he showed will help us have a very successful season especially in our special teams unit. I would recommend all coaches to invite Mr. Vitale to their school for a clinic. He is one of the best when it comes to attention and details in running a successful special teams unit".

He was thorough, organized and very enthusiastic about his responsibility as coach. He was committed to excellence and demonstrated an uncanny ability to pay attention to every detail. Christian has worked to become one of the best Special Teams coaches in high school football."

"Coach Vitale has come up to work with my punters, kickers, snappers, and holders. He walked each and every player through their kicking progressions. Each player received the same attention, no matter what their ability. Coach Vitale was very personal and professional in his teaching approach. He stressed mechanics and gave players different checks and balances on how they could monitor their kicking throughout the season. Players where given stretches, strength exercises, and year long kicking workouts that have helped develop all my kickers.

I highly recommend Coach Vitale's kicking camp and have recommended all our punters and kickers to attend."

Excellent job on the webinar. Here's what a couple guys said to me...

"Well outlined material, and has a value to any program. Coach Vitale makes himself available. Emailed coach, and he responded almost immediately. He is willing to share. Thanks again!"

"Coach Vitale has definitely done his homework. He's gone above & beyond more so than most coaches..."

Again, thanks so much for everything you do for the Glazier Clinics and the game of football,

"Coach Vitale is one of the true students of the game when it comes to Special Teams play. He has researched the necessary details for Special Teams success with some of most experienced and finest minds in the game. Through his research he has been able to develop a series of schemes and implementation strategies that are quite innovative and effective which makes Coach Vitale an excellent speaker."

I have never played for a coach with such an eye for detail. As a player I was prepared every Friday night because of the hard work we put in every day throughout the course of the week and the off season. Coach Vitale settles for nothing shy of perfection and taught me that neither should anyone else. He has made me into the player I am today and without his guidance I would not still be playing to this day. I also had the pleasure to coach alongside him at his first punting camp and had the honor to witness his teachings affect others. Coach Vitale has the ability to bring out the true potential of any player that is willing to put in the effort. I hope to continue to work with him for years to come.

My name is Ben Lang and I was a soccer player my whole life until I decided to try football my junior year of high school. It started as a fun way to spend time and play another sport in the fall with little time commitment, but after attending Coach Vitale's summer punting camp football became much more than a hobby. My senior year I was decorated with several regional awards. Coach Vitale's attention to detail and dedication to his players is unmatched by any football coach I've ever had at the high school or even college level. With his help, I was recruited by several small schools in Michigan and Ohio, before deciding to walk on to Miami University's (OH) football team this spring. Coach Vitale has provided the only real kicking coaching for me and has improved my form to the level that allowed me to be where I am today. I recommend his coaching camps to anyone who seriously wants to better themselves special teams player, no matter what age or skill level.
