How to unlock the A Girl's Best Friend achievement in Motionsports - Definitive Guide

There are 7 challenges on football and you need to diamond all of them to get this achievement.

1. Vertical challenge. This one is straightforward and easy. You'll be jumping and ducking obstacles. Over 3 waves, perfection is needed to get diamond.
2. Horizontal challenge. You will run 3 waves, dodging right or left or center. Again, this is easy, but perfection is needed to get diamond
3. Running back challenge. 9 tacklers will run at you from right and left, 2 in the 1st wave, 3 in the 2nd and 4 in the 3rd. To get diamond you have to use a move that is not explained in the tutorial: the spin. And you have to do it perfectly 9 times in a row. If you get touched or tackled, just start over; or use the 4 player choice at the start to give you 4 tries with minimal reloading screens.
To perform a spin: watch what direction the tackler is coming from, when the time slows down, move only the foot that is on the side of the tackler behind you so that your shoulder is facing the kinect. Also, make sure you lean away from the tackler or else he might still 'touch' you. You know you have done it right because the spin will give you 100 points times the multiplier.
4. Kicker. To get diamond you have to get 8 perfect field goals or 7 perfect and 2 good (out of 9). The 1st 3 chances are without wind and are quite easy- on all kicks do not kick too high, and on the 1st 3 kicks just kick directly forward and you should have 3 perfects (as long as you don't kick too hard). The next 3 have high wind, you'll have to kick into the wind, but again, not too high and not at a huge angle. These 3 are the hardest as there are 2 levels of wind it can be. The next 3 are light wind. Set up your kick just barely off center and into the wind and you should be able to kick another 3 field goals.
5. Quarterback challenge. If you follow the guide for the associated achievement, you will get diamond. 3 perfect throws and another 'normal' catch will get diamond. Just make sure you throw straight forward and anticipate the receiver's movements.
6. target challenge. This might be the hardest one- a score of 4000 is needed for diamond- in otherwords 8 out of 9 in the very center of the targets! Again, throw as straight as possible, practice a lot and it should all be about how hard you throw it. The 1st 3 throws need a light throw, but angle up to get the proper distance. The 2nd three need a slightly harder throw and the last 3 are slightly further than the 2nd. It will take a bunch of tries to get this, so be patient!
7. moving targets. This one is much easier, mainly because you need only about 2000 points to get diamond. The targets will be identical to #6 but are moving, so just wait until it is nearing stright forward and then throw. I got a bunch of 300s by accident and still managed to get diamond without too much effort.
Good luck!

The last 3 are tricky, you have to position yourself so that your foot will aim just to the left or right of the kinect. Don't nail the ball, just swing you foot up to about knee level or else the wind will grab it.

for Kicker, I got my lowest Diamond at 6 Perfect Kicks, 2 Goods and a Miss (1500, 1500, 600pts for 3600pts). some little bit of extra hope for anyone struggling with those kicks.

apparently I got Diamond for Moving Target Throw (Course 7) at only 1350pts. 150pts,900pts, 300pts. I was getting annoyed that I was getting nowhere near 2000pts but I finished my 3 waves with that score and it was enough.

That last round of field goals is not registering at all for me. I have only ever got points off them once. Even when ti looks like it goes through and possibly does go through, it doesn't count at all.

Perhaps you are kicking too hard? When the game did that to me, it was usually because the ball went way over the goal posts. I don't know about having all 3 not register at all however...

I keep thinking I am kicking too lightly as it usually ends up in the lower third of the posts. I can't seem to find a technique to get it higher consistently but it always seems like it goes through the posts but says wide every time. Really annoying when I can perfect the other 6 kicks.

I got Diamond on the kicker one with just 3500 points so 7 perfect kicks is all that is required.

And on the standard target throw I got Diamond with 3650 which leads me to believe this might be 3500 as well based on the kicker one having a max of 4500 and Diamond being possible at 3500.

For Quarterback challenge, i can get it to register 4 throws as 'perfect' status giving me 1200 points (300x4), but my distance bonus is only ever 5. Is this where I am missing my points to get to diamond status and if so how do I increase that?

I got diamond for Standing Target Throw at 3600 points, so that's 7 perfects and two 50 pointers. I was about to rage at missing the last perfect but it all worked out :P

The quarterback challenge is really stupid. If you throw the ball right up to the endzone, you get a distance bonus of 5 points, whereas if you throw as weak as you can, you get loads more. I think whoever coded that bit of the game got the wrong end of the stick, as it seems that the "distance" you're getting the bonus for is the distance that the receiver has to run after catching the ball. Basic strategy is throw the ball SOFTLY each time, but try to aim at the catcher. If he isn't standing still when he catches the ball, you don't get the 300 perfect throw bonus points.

How can I actually kick higher? I can't hit the 3rd wave on the kickers challenge, because the balls arch is too low and I can't figure out how to kick it so it goes higher.

Let your foot go higher when you kick

I can confirm that 1250 is enough for diamond in the moving targets challenge.
