Students and Colleague Testimonials:
"In my 19 years of playing in the NFL, Mike Hollis is one of the few coaches I have encountered that I trust. Mike has been extremely successful at every level, so when an NFL All-Pro talks, I listen. I have kicked with Mike Hollis, competed with Mike Hollis, and coached camps with Mike Hollis. Mike has a coach's eye. As a player, Mike's technique was flawless. As a coach, Mike's attention to detail is unparalleled in the industry. If you want to be great, to train like the pros, to control the mental game, to dial in your technique, to max out your potential, then Mike Hollis is your Coach." John Carney - One of the greatest kickers in the history of the NFL, playing 23 years! John was a great mentor for Mike in 1994 during the San Diego Chargers pre-season...preparing Mike for a successful NFL career.
"Having the opportunity to have Mike Hollis as a teammate for an entire year was one of the best things that happened to me in my career. He was like having a personal coach on the sidelines for every practice and every game. He has the ability to see little things in technique and form that helped me go from just another punter to an alternate for the Pro Bowl in 2002, to later being a two-time All-Pro. I have no doubt that any punter or kicker who has the opportunity to work with Mike will benefit tremendously!" Brian Moorman - Two-Time All-Pro Punter for the Buffalo Bills and teammate of Mike's at Buffalo in 2002. Brian is also a student in ProForm Kicking during his off-season!
"ProForm has been a blessing for me. As a 43-year-old, I am able to still play at a high level and not lose any power. Learning how to kick with my body really helped me understand the true fundamentals of kicking. I mean, how many dudes over 35 can actually still smash balls consistently in real games? I'm grateful to have learned from Mike and recommend ProForm to anyone who wants to learn how to kick correctly with no body breakdown and have fun doing it. It's gotten me to 2 straight championships in the indoor game. I am ProForm!" Kimo Naehu - Longtime ProForm athlete and Arena Football journeyman. Still playing professional football at the age of 43!
"Of all the kickers I have worked with during my 16-year NFL career, Mike Hollis stands out as one of the best. His work ethic, training routine, and knowledge about kicking made my job easier as his holder, and it helped him reach the Pro Bowl." Bryan Barker - Retired All-Pro Punter and teammate of Mike's for 6 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bryan took Mike under his wing from the first day in Jacksonville and has been a very big influence during Hollis' career.
"ProForm Kicking has taught me how to kick the right way. I knew that if I wanted to reach my full and untapped potential, I would have to become completely open to change. I saw the ball going higher, straighter, and farther, with less effort and more control after just a few lessons. If you're just starting out or an old dog looking to change, then look no further. It wasn't easy but I sacrificed what I knew and put faith in the form. Mike and Jim have added years to my career, and with the form, I'm confident enough that no one can compete. Do not rely on your own abilities rely on the Lord, he will guide you in your life and your kicking. Be patient and enjoy your journey!" Nick Novak - 12-year NFL retired kicker. Nick has spent time with the San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins, Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans, and LA Chargers.

Mike has all the qualities it takes to be a success in football, and in life. I also admire the work that coach Jim Gaetano has done with Mike and many other kickers, punters, and long snappers across the nation. I highly recommend these guys over any other kicking coaches out there, and I will continue to use them to coach the specialists that I encounter during my coaching career." Coach John L.

"Mike Hollis was one of best kickers in the NFL and he was great under pressure. Mike has the ability to give any kicker information that will be of real value. Any kicker who aspires to reach his fullest capabilities consistently would do well to spend time with Mike Hollis. To perform to your ultimate potential as an aspiring kicker you must give Mike the opportunity to show you the techniques vital to the high levels of performance in kicking." Coach Frank Gansz - Coach Gansz logged in 37 seasons as a coach.

Coach Gansz was the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs in 1987 & 1988! Others including Parents of Students: "I really like what Mike is doing with his kicking academy. He has combined on-field training with video analysis and sports-specific performance training. The combination of all 3 modalities will make ProForm Kicking Academy one of the most unique and valuable kicking schools available. There are many camps and instructors out there, but few offer one-on-one personal instruction from a former NFL kicker. The instruction Alex has received from Mike has been superior in all aspects and I firmly believe this will propel him to the next level of performance at the collegiate level." Dennis Wulfeck - Father of PKA student Alex Wulfeck (Punter at the University of Notre Dame). “I have played against Mike and he is a real competitor. He has all the qualifications. He made it to the pinnacle of his profession. He also is a quality person. He has a high recommendation from me.” Norm Johnson - 2x All-Pro retired NFL kicker of 18 years. "My son Matt was a good high school kicker who, like so many others, never received solid kick coaching. I believe Mike has given him the solid fundamentals that he needs to be a successful kicker in college. Wish I had done it a year ago. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to prepare their son for collegiate athletics. He teaches not only the mechanics but also the proper workout routine for kick-based results." Scott Ellis - Father of PKA student Matt Ellis. “I have known Mike since our days kicking in the NFL. He was and continues to be very professional, on and off the field. Mike has effectively taken his knowledge and expertise in kicking to the ‘classroom.’ His instruction is key for helping athletes take their game to the ‘next level.’ It is great to work with Mike as an associate of the National Combine Series and he brings added wealth to the kicking world.” Michael Husted - President, Husted Kicking. and former NFL kicker of 10 years. "I've had Mike present and work with several of my teams at Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon Web Services. Mike's message of delivering consistent results by relying on and trusting your methods and training is directly applicable to high-performance corp teams. This is especially true in the 4th quarter when the pressure is on and there is a tendency to overreact and take a different path from what has delivered results previously. Trust those workflows and processes that are proven and deliver consistent results!" Brett Cocking - Vice President, AWS Business Group at Computer Enterprises, Inc. “Mike has an easy-going approach that is very conducive to learning. He is patient and thorough and always gives 100% attention to his students. We have hired Mike and will continue to work with him in training our son to kick and punt.” Charles Blanton - Father of longtime PKA student Bennett Blanton.
