How to SHOOT WITH POWER Regardless of your Technique

[Music] are you struggling to connect cleanly with a ball in various situations on the field are your shots like welcome pass backs the goldie can control with his feet or perhaps maybe you sometimes hit an absolute worldly but you have no idea how you did it and do it again just kind of feels impossible well in today's video we'll discuss some of the simple Concepts that aim to draw out the very best from your already established technique even if you're just starting out I'll show you how foot placement can be the difference between low drip leather shot and cracking top bins effort we'll discuss how the angle of your body might be the wrong angle for the type of strike you're attempting and finally dive into two simple adjustments that you can make today that might make all the difference for when your next strike in the ball so let's get into it first up the run-up scrap that let's call this momentum now we're going to talk about traveling with the ball for today not because from a static position isn't important but because in reality we find ourselves traveling with the ball way more than anything else plus it's sometimes harder to generate power so if we can do it whilst traveling with the ball then we'll certainly be able to do it from all other variables that will come our way all right momentum so whether we're getting the ball out of our feet like coutinho or moving on to the ball like company the momentum of the ball is moving away from us and that's important to understand because knowing that lets us know where to place our standing leg the goal for where to place a standing leg is to have it in line with the ball when you make contact with the ball and this goes for almost all striking techniques so if you're traveling with the ball we're going to place the standing leg slightly ahead of that moving ball so that when our shooting leg comes through the ball has had time to catch up resulting in this in line with a standing lick pretty cool but real quick what if the boy is coming towards you well it's the same end goal of having a standing leg in line so you'll need to place it just before the ball has arrived anticipating it being in Lion when your striking leg comes through okay back to traveling with the ball so now on to the fun stuff we've got the standing leg sorted and it's time for the kicking leg and it's important to know that I don't need to change your current technique whether it's a driven shot a curling shot or some weird technique that you've developed continue to do that for now don't over complicate things so with that in mind there are two adjustments that you're going to want to make the first is perhaps the most important and that's the extension of the leg as you make contact if you're struggling with power then odds are you're not fully committing to the strike in other words you don't have a straight leg when making contact with the ball again it doesn't matter the technique as long as you're fully extending the leg you're going to generate enough power even if you have a short back swing like I do it's not important you can still generate more enough power to unleash hard shots if you have a straight leg when you make contact with the ball this is really the main key to powering your shots the other is what's happening inside the boot and again regardless of the technique make sure that your foot is rigid how you do this is by tightening all of the muscles in your body and what that looks like in your boot is your toes pressing down into the sole of your boot kind of like a box of wood in their gloves to have the most hard and impactful punch you'll want to have a tight fist to leave a last impression same thing with the foot tighten your toes and the rest will follow so now we've addressed the power concerns now let's look at improving the height and accuracy this will depend on your preferred technique but if you're curling the ball you'll want to lean back slightly opening up your posture to generate more lift connecting with the lower portion of the ball using the InStep of your boot if you prefer more of a driven shot it's a good idea to get your posture and momentum leaning forwards not too much where you fall over after each Kick but not too little where you Sky it from the Newfound power you've drawn from within yeah connecting with the very center of the ball using a hard bone area of your foot for the most power and accuracy remembering to push the toes down into the sole of the boot lastly to ensure you completed an effective strike on goal what happens after the ball is released your foot is just as important regardless of your Technique the goal to score a goal is to try and get the shooting leg back down to the ground as soon as possible transferring your weight onto the shooting leg and there we are now although we haven't talked much about the nitty-gritty of the different ways to strike the ball just add in these simple Concepts to your already established technique you'll start to build consistency through your striking ability once you've established these patterns in your body that's when you can start to iron out some of the technical components of your strike and while shooting is important often the biggest hurdle is finding the space on the field in the first place to get a shot off on goal so with that in mind this video is going to help you build the awareness you're going to need to exploit the space in the pockets and showcase your newfound power and accurate strike [Music]
