Tom began his career teaching and coaching in
Minnesota in 1974. After his first two seasons as a varsity high school
football coach he already had back to back state championships on his
coaching resume.
He has been coaching continuously serving as head
coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, and special teams
coordinator. He currently coaches special teams for Armwood High School
in Tampa, Florida .
Tom studied Sports Psychology under the famous Dr.
Robert Singer and Dr David Pargman while pursuing his Doctorate in the
field of Sports Psychology. Tom focused his research on the power of
mental imagery and factors producing “mental toughness”.
In January of 2007, Tom Feely earned National Board Certification.
He is the only Nationally Board Certified Teacher working in the kicking coaching industry.
Tom began his specialty as a kicking coach in 1992
when his oldest son, Jay Feely, was 14 and became interested in
becoming a kicker in high school. Jay is currently in his 12th year as
an NFL kicker, currently with the Arizona Cardinals.
To date, ten of Tom Feely's students have made it all the way to the professional level of football, many playing in the NFL.
Tom and his sons, Jay, John, Ryan, Tyler and Nick are
all very instrumental in our mission to spread to the athletes we are
privileged to encounter, not only the skills of football kicking and
punting, but more importantly, the attitudes and values that help make
young people become successful at whatever they dream to accomplish.
Tom’s rich background as a teacher, passionately shares with his
protégées.
The Feely Family Foundation and the World Ministries
Football Club are two examples of the commitment this family has to
making this a better world.
