Josh Growden, once an aspiring AFL player with the Greater Western Sydney Giants, has transformed his career into a successful coaching venture known as The Kicking Consultant. After his AFL journey was curtailed by injuries, including a broken leg and two hip surgeries, Josh pivoted to American football, securing a full scholarship to Louisiana State University (LSU) and later transferring to West Virginia University. There, he not only played as a punter but also earned a Bachelor's degree in Sports Science and a Master's in High Performance Sport from the University of Technology Sydney.

In 2021, Josh founded The Kicking Consultant, aiming to make elite-level coaching accessible to all athletes, not just professionals. His services encompass online and in-person coaching, focusing on improving kicking techniques, strength, speed, and overall athletic performance. Josh's programs are tailored for both Australian Rules Football and American Football players, offering resources like the AFL Kicking Guide and personalized training plans.

Beyond coaching, Josh has built a robust online presence, sharing educational content on platforms like YouTube and social media, amassing a following of over 80,000. His commitment to athlete development is evident in his continuous efforts to provide valuable resources and support to players at all levels.
