How hard is it to kick a 45 yard field goal?

Thinking about taking a friendly

pretty hard. id say less than 1 in 1000 people could do it even with 5 attempts.

i would say unless you have played soccer or are a kicker on a football team, you have about a 1% chance of making a 45 yarder.
i kicked a 30 yard fg when i was a teenager. off a tee though.

you're about to get 45 people telling you that they can make a 45 yard field goal.
btw, i'm good from about 50 in.

Not nearly as easy as you would think.

Not as hard as a 57 yarder

Easy for me, but only if I drop kick it

I tried kicking once or twice. I was terrible. 15 yards would probably be my range

A lot less. Like 1 in 100,000. A normal person wouldn't come close to getting the mechanics down in 5 tries.

With or without a rush? A 35 yarder, off a tee, with no rush, is no walk in the park, but it's not this impossibility if you've ever played soccer. Given a few warmups, you could probably hit it reliably if you have ever taken a corner kick (once you account for your hook).
With a rush? No chance in hell. I can punt the ball pretty decently but can't do it if I'm in any way worried about someone hitting my leg.

I can hit 33 alone on a field probably 4/10. No chance with a rush
No shot at 45 yds. Ever. In any situation.

I suspect Nick's asked that question several times in the last 24 hours.

You will not hit a 45 yarder assuming you are an average joe.
33 is about as far you can make it without playing soccer. If you played soccer competitively, then 33 is very makeable, but far from automatic. Your accuracy is the tricky part in this case.

I'm a decent athlete work out a lot. But never kicked before.
I will be given two weeks to practice.
No tee, off the ground. No rush. Just straight on.
I will be given 10 tries too.
I will provide the ball so I plan to Kiffen(deflate it a bit) it.

Apparently any kick is difficult for a Bama kicker..
