Who Are We--->Instructors

Fred Pinciaro-What started over 30 years ago with a father's love for his son has turned into one the greatest coaching story's in the America. Coach Pinciaro's (Coach P) history began as it does for many fathers, wanting to spend quality time with his son. This brought about a need to learn and see what works and what doesn't for each athlete. Currently, Coach P personally trains elite professional place-kickers Shayne Graham, Neil Rackers, Josh Brown, and Connor Barth. In addition to the professionals Coach P trains countless other collegiate and high school kickers and punters. A trained eye for evaluation purposes is far more valuable and less time consuming than endlessly kicking and punting with the hopes of finding what works. In addition to that, Coach P is the Senior Kicking Instructor for Before U Kick on staff at Shenandoah University in Winchester, VA.
Bill Hildbold-Coach Hildbold coaching legacy has taken him through the sports of football, wrestling, and soccer and winning championships at each level. In addition to his coaching, Bill Hildbold has served as an advanced math teacher and Director of Student Activities in his over 30 years experience in the public school system. This is crucially important to understand the value that this experience he brings to the table. While Coach Hildbold is sound in both kicking and punting instruction (son Joey was a 4 year starting punter at Notre Dame), his greatest strength revolves around his objectivity. While an athlete obviously goes to a kicking camp for instruction, what is often lost is the 'big picture.' Having an athlete understand the process and role that academics and athletics take place in their lives invaluable. Coach Hildbold is able to integrate his experience for the athletes in such a way so they will see that life actually begins when the competitive athletic endeavors conclude. Coach Hildbold is the Director of Operations for Before U Kick and is teaching/coaching at Brunswick/Middletown High Schools in Fredrick, MD.

Mr. Hays is currently a cost analysis and project management consultant for Booz Allen Hamilton, Inc.
Jason Malecki-Jason Malecki's development into a nationally recognized kicking and punting instructor was born with his long term relationship with Coach Renner. While Jason was at West Springfield High School in northern VA, Coach Renner personally trained Jason and developed Jason to "coach himself." Learning that the athlete is ultimately responsible for their performance on the field, Jason received a full scholarship from Boston College where he excelled as a 4 year starter. Working his way through the professional maze, Jason led the professional league in Europe with punts inside the 20 for Amsterdam. A career ending injury transitioned Jason's playing passions into the world of coaching. Jason's no-nonsense style has brought the best out of multiple collegiate and high school kickers and punters across the country. Jason is currently the Senior Punting Instructor for Before U Kick and works for Lifeline Fitness in the mid-Atlantic.
Dan Orner-"Maximize what you've been given!" Dan is the quintessential success story in spite of the circumstances he's had to deal with. Proving that your when heart rules, no obstacle can stand in your way. Upon winning the prestigious "Prego Kicking Award" in high school did received a full athletic scholarship to attend Michigan State University. Due to circumstances beyond his control, Dan transferred to the University of North Carolina. After sitting out his mandatory transfer year, Dan very quickly rewrote the UNC and NCAA records books. In his very first game, he broke and NCAA record (currently shared with Sam Swank of Wake Forest) with 3 50+ yards field goals in one game. In addition to multiple UNC records and Lou Groza nominations (2002, 2003), Dan was a professional in 2004. Dan's lifelong passion for kicking has currently transitioned into passing his indelible spirit to those who would be serious about their personal success. Dan created www.danornerkicking.com to challenge himself to never let up. In addition to Dan being an invaluable kicking instructor for Before U Kick, he also works with kickers and punters throughout the year in Charlotte, NC where he is employed by the Hartford.
Joey Hildbold-A steadfast believer in never accepting less than what you're capable of. Joey was a Valedictorian and multiple letter-winner in 3 sports (football, wrestling, and soccer) at Robinson Secondary School in northern VA. Joey believed that you are always performing in everything you do; therefore, there are no excuses in that performance being less than the standard you set for yourself. That translated into Joey being one of the nation's most highly coveted punters out of high school. Joey received a full athletic scholarship to the University of Notre Dame where he excelled as a 4 year starter. Twice a finalist for the Ray Guy Award, Joey assisted his team in appearances in both the Fiesta and Gator Bowls during his tenure for his beloved Irish. We are fortunate to have Joey assist Jason in passing on his personal standards of excellence with the punters at Before U Kick. In addition, Joey works for an accounting firm in New Jersey.
Jeff Alton-A winner is defined by making his teammates better. A winning coach is defined by assisting the athletes entrusted to him to see what they cannot see so they play beyond what they ever thought they were capable of. This is Jeff's life as a player and now as a coach. Coaching always involves leading the athlete(s) to a place they've never been. While Jeff excelled at Methodist University as their stand out kicker, the seeds were already growing into where he is today--a coach that draws the best out of his players. Jeff is also able to communicate with the athlete in simple terms. Athletes end up with a paralysis analysis and literally become afraid to perform the very gift they love. Jeff's passion to keep it simple has resulted in his athletes dominating competitions at every level. We are fortunate to Jeff work with the kickers at Before U Kick. Also, Jeff teaches and coaches in Stafford County, VA.
Paul Woodside-You only know what you learn and you can only perform what you've learned to know. Knowledge is liberating or it is debilitating. If you've only 'learned' failure, your performance will only manifest that. The same goes for success, if you know you will be successful, then you will be. Critics, those on the sideline of life who make a living short-cutting others, will be quick to jump on an athlete's poor performance. Discouragement is to tear down. Encouragement is to empower. With a trained reflex skill which years of patient drill work in addition to the physical requirements, which would you rather have in your corner. As a walk-on to West Virginia University in the Fall of 1981, Paul rewrote the WVU record book, was a 2 time All-American, and was enshrined into the WVU Hall of Fame in 1999. Paul still holds to 2 NCAA records (most field goals in a season inside of 40 yards-23, and best percentage of field goals inside of 40 yards-100%). Paul simply had people believe in him. Recently featured in the best-selling book by Stefan Fatsis, "A Few Seconds of Panic." In addition to Paul working with the kickers at Before U Kick and www.footballuniversity.org, Paul enjoys spending time with the love of his life, his wife Teresa.
