When asked if he would try to follow in Carter's footsteps, he explained he was better suited in the forwards like his cousin, All Black Sam Cane.
"Dad said I'm more of a number 8."
Carter, who was on holiday in Taupo and visiting his mother-in-law, said he enjoyed involving young players with his kicking practice.
"I'm in Taupo and I don't really have anyone to return my kicks, and it's not much fun by yourself," Carter said.
"I asked on Twitter to get some helpers and got a crazy response.
"It got a bit bigger than what I thought it would be."
He said he had about 50 keen children which he whittled down to three by getting them to post pictures of themselves and say why they should be chosen.
Carter said the training session went for about 90 minutes and he covered all kinds of skills with the boys, such as place kicking, punting, drop kicks and passing.
"They were good but I think I wore them out a bit [during the training]."
The boys were also given a signed ball and a pair of boots from adidas, who had jumped on board to support Carter's training session.
Logan, who travelled from Tauranga, said his dad had signed him up on Twitter and he was "really excited" when he came home on Tuesday to find out he was going to join in the training session.
"My favourite part was probably picking up a few tips on the goal kicking."
When The Daily Post arrived, the boys had begun to mimic Carter's style at the kicking tee, hovering over the ball for what seemed an age before swinging their leg through the ball with their head down.
Only a handful of supporters were at the kicking practice, thanks to it being kept a secret by the boys.
Carter will remain in Taupo until Sunday, before heading back to Auckland.
