HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR WEAK FOOT | Easy steps and training drills

in football having a decent week foot is important but not everyone trained it and if you're stuck with a dead week foot most people just avoid using it but today I'm here to help you guys I'm gonna get you started with some of the things I did to help me transform my weak foot from something I would only use it matches to run and use as a standing foot for my right to something that I would actually say is usable in an actual football match and for clarification going forward when I mention my strong in my weak foot my right foot is old trusty and my left is all rusty as you can see here but Jay why do I need a good weak foot I mean I'm a perfectly good player using primarily my strong foot here well the thing is that as good of a player as you may be with primarily your strong food but having a dead weak foot is just no good at least if you want to do something with your football because if you look at professionals I'd say that 99% of them all have at least a decent weak foot because they have to even if you look at someone like Matthew who has an absolutely deadly one of a left foot he's also able to use his right foot what's a efficiently enough if he has to see the reason it's nice to have a good week foot is because it makes it a lot easier to adopt to every situation in the game and basically play more fluid football now of course you need to have a good first touch with both of your feet because it makes you able to go in both directions when the ball comes to you simply adapt to where the defender is of course you also need to be able to have at least a decent level of passing and crossing with your weak foot because that makes it a lot faster to execute those things instead of having to stop the ball readjust the body and set up your weak foot which gives the defender time to recover and that's the second part because if they know that you're constantly gonna set yourself up for your strong foot you're much easier to shut down unless you're Dimitar Berbatov of the part of rest man you have the meanest travela in the world or you don't need your weak foot like ever if you do have two very strong feet however you're gonna be extremely difficult to defend against because you'll be very unpredictable as the defenders know that you can punish them going to either side of them just take a look at young Mason Greenwood from Manchester United who is so good with both feed that is kind of difficult to tell that supposedly his left is the best one so the defenders know that if they just try and shut that one down he's just gonna go to his ridin school anyway so having a strong weak foot is going to make you more versatile and you need it if you have absolutely any ambition of ever going pro because you might be the best player on your team with your strong foot but if the Scout sees that your weak foot is kind of broken he's most likely not gonna take you but how do you do it well the simple answer would be to say use it but to be a bit more concrete I did primarily three things I started familiarizing my left foot with the ball by doing juggles and dribbles then I moved on to doing wall passing drills and right now I'm working on improving my power and my accuracy because yes I'm actually also still working on improving my wig foot because as you can see right now well it's still pretty weak [Music] so for the familiarization and the process of making my Whitford used how the pole actually feels well I started juggling and then force myself to incorporate my left foot and at least every other touch so right left right left right left and so on and as I got more confident with that I started to also incorporate using my left foot even more that could be right left left right left left right left left and so on basically to force my left foot to get used to the weight of the pole and how it feels when it moves around how much force I need to put on it now after that I put the bowl on the ground and then did a lot of little six like dribbles moving around all over the pitch just to get myself used to how it feels to dribble primarily using my left foot it's really awkward at first but it quickly catches on then you can move on to using a wall or basically anything that will bounce the ball back to you and here I suggest that you do a pass you take a directional touch and then you set yourself up for the pass again to make it as much like as possible now most people are gonna tell you to only use your weak foot constantly but I found that it works better for me if I actually switch between using my strong foot three times and then swapping to my weak foot to make sure that my body and my brain is able to seamlessly switch between the two feet in a match and the key is to basically just figure out the technique how your position your body with your strong foot and then apply the same thing to your weak foot and then just keep going basically finally I'm currently working with a target that could be the smaller seven aside goal and here I'm basically doing standard target practice where I'm getting my body used to the position and the power and the movement of the leg and the plant foot and all that stuff in order to get the ball off the ground and have some sort of accuracy over more than a couple of meters which I'm currently okay with and because I'm not yet good enough to do the really hot pole long cross field passive stuff with my weak foot I'm currently going for cross bars on this distance but it's tough the only thing you can do though is to repeat repeat repeat repeat and then do it again and if all else fails buy fifa coins to upgrade your cart because as we all know that's the only shortcut to success now the reason that my left foot is still pretty rough even though I'm 31 and should be more or less ambidextrous by now is that I simply started using it too late so don't be like Jay learn from my mistakes and actually start incorporating this as soon as you possibly can take it seriously force yourself to do this in trainings because let's be honest you just learn quicker when you're a kid and you don't want to end up like me at age 25 with a left foot that doesn't work so really guys take it seriously and I promise you you're gonna be a much much better player for it in other words it is so so so important to have a good week foot as a football player especially if you're serious about it guys what is your best tip to improving your weak foot well as always you should let us and the rest of the community know in the comment section
