No matter the name, Palardy will punt and kick for four years. Being a high school football fan in Florida, I have personally have seen him pick a badly snapped ball of the carpet (he has great hands...was a QB and receiver when he was younger playing city ball) and punt it 70 yards. He is very mechanically correct and the snap in his leg generates a tremendous amount of energy. The higher the stakes, the better he performs. This kid loves to compete...loves the competition. Here's a little bit of info. you can't get from a DVD or other sources. Palardy has a very short memory. Important for a kicker. If he miskicks any ball, you can count on the fact that the next chance he gets, he won't miss. You can see it in his eyes and his demeanor. Ask his kicking coach. What will it be like when he puts on 15 pounds!
