Not every program has a former NFL kicker, who began the first to make four kicks of 60 yards or more in a season, drop by and offer advice.
But as Kyle Cunanan, as well as Tristan Alvano and John Hohl have learned, that's just what happens at a place like Nebraska, with former Husker Brett Maher coming offer to offer advice, coaching and sometimes just a brain to pick for all the place kickers.
Maher starred as a kicker and punter, replacing highly regarded Alex Henery with success in 2011 and 2012, before going on to have multiple kicking stints in the NFL.
Cunanan said Maher has helped him with some technical things, but the biggest help from the kicker has come in the form of mental things.
"He's been around the block and he's seen all there's a bout to see in the kicking world and he can help us navigate and understand everything," Cunanan said. "So that when the time does come we're prepared and nothing catches us off guard."
The other thing Cunanan appreciates with Maher is that his help comes differently for each kicker. The former Husker and NFL player is able to tailor his technical advice to Cunanan and it might differ from what he's telling his teammates because their styles are all unique.
"Neither me, John and Tristan kick the exact same, but he looks at how we kick, what would optimize how we kick and what would make us the best versions of ourselves. He's been a super big asset on our staff."
Cunanan said his approach to the mental side of kicking is to focus on his breathing.
"You have the things you are focused on in the moment and there is no space for anything else to get in your mind and cloud it," he said. "Say you're truly focused on your breath, on your process, anything in that kind of regard there's no space for any other thoughts to get in like doubt or anything like that. I try to hone in on one specific thing just because it allows me to block out everything else. It's not really blocking anything out, so much not as letting anything else in."
That includes ignoring the hassles at Memorial Stadium where the wind might just be lying to you.
"Something that coach Brett really preaches to us is make the wind affect your best ball," he said. "That's kind of looking at it as don't kick or don't place your target because of the wind, but hit it through the wind and focus on the contact and focus on the ball through your strike so the wind doesn't affect it at all.
"A lot of times the flags at Memorial Stadium will lie to you. We kicked in there three times a week in the summer and they can be blowing any which way but it doesn't mean the ball is going to move that way. There's times the ball in one end zone is blowing towards the stands and the flags in the other end zone is also blowing toward the stands so you never know what is going on. It's one of those situations where you have to hit your best ball and the wind is going to do what it's going to do, but for the most part it shouldn't affect it that much."
