Carol White was born in Jericho, Vermont. Her father owned a filling station while her mother ran a restaurant. She moved to Boston, Mass when she was a child, and she explored the world of books. White received a degree in political science from Southern Mississippi and a Master's degree from Florida State University. White got in to football when she became one of the assistant coaches at a high school in Albany, Ga. She took stats of the team and eventually learned the art of kicking and punting. In 1985, White obtained a coaching position at Georgia Tech where she became the first woman to coach football at an NCAA Division 1-A institution. White started a kicking, snapping, and punting camp called KICK-AID. Now White resides in Athens, Ga, and she runs several kicking, snapping and punting camps where she teaches the methods of kicking, punting, and snapping to aspiring football players. - Metadata URL:
