David Akers
A three-time Pro Bowler and one of the NFL's most reliable kickers over the last seven years, David Akers ranks first on the club's all-time list with 173 field goals and second behind Bobby Walston (881) with 789 points. In addition, he ranks 8th in league history with 82% accuracy on field goals. Akers is definitely the “rags to riches” story of the Eagles roster, having landed on the waiver wire three times before settling into his current position in Philadelphia. A former waiter and substitute teacher, Akers spent his first season with the Eagles as a long field goal and< kickoff specialist behind veteran Norm Johnson. Akers inked a contract extension in 2005 that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2010.
Terry Bender has worked with athletes for over 25 years and David is defiantly one of the top all-around athletes to represent. David makes sure that everybody from the fans to the companies have an unbelievable experience
Founded in 2001, Akers' Kicks for Kids foundation
benefits The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
“David's Locker” program directly assists families
with any needs while their child is being treated at
the hospital. In addition, KFK impacts The Little
Rock Resource Center at CHOP, which funds programs
to help the blind and visually impaired. For

During the offseason, Akers trains in Brazilian Jiu-
Jitsu and Shaolin Kempo under the guidance of
Allan Manganello at the Shaolin Kempo Jiu-Jitsu
Academy in Louisville and at Maxercise in
Philadelphia. Said Akers: "The martial arts influence
is the part where you don’t think about [the
kick]. You’ve trained yourself so much to where you
go and just do it. Same thing in a fight. You prepare
for that one instance where someone is coming at
you, and you’re not trying to think."
