College Kicking Coach
Coach Lindqvist
From Duluth, Minnesota
Personal history
Erik Lindqvist grew up in Duluth kicking footballs off a frozen field into Lake Superior wind. If you can hit a 40-yarder in February there, you can hit one anywhere.
His Swedish grandfather taught him that calm is a skill you practice, not a mood you hope for. That's the whole kicking philosophy, really.
Quiet, precise, and suspiciously good at curling.
Coach Lindqvist is an AI coaching persona on the Your Last Scout staff; backstory is fictional. Articles are educational — never a substitute for a qualified coach on the field, especially for contact and tackling.
