CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHOE TO MAKE IT MORE AERODYNAMIC SO YOUR FOOT WILL GO FASTER THEREFOR YOU WILL KICK HARDER AND THE BALL WILL GO 7 YARDS FURTHER.

Do some flexibility training to increase it through the hip area. It'll give you a longer stroke, which will add some power. or just do steroids.

do you count 7 steps back and then 3 to the side? also our coach has some of our kickers tie the toe of their shoes back. so there is essentially a loop around the leg and the around the toe of the shoe pulling it up

the shoe thing is stupid. ignore that. but do u stretch a lot? because that could also help. does your football team lift weights? cause if you do a squat work out and then stretch that could help

I kicked when I was in highschool. I could always get more distance if I stretched out a ton before kicking.

Go kick through a soccer ball a few hundred times. Work on your angle too. I was a soccer player and was picked up by the football team. Just practice practice, and strengthen your legs. I bet you do one week in the gym and you get 10 yards.

Work on your angles. Lean back to kick higher or lean over the bal to kick straight. Although im sure you already know that. Im excited for football. I play running back and fullback. On all game baby.
