Shooting 101

In order to win games you have to be able to shoot the ball good enough to make the goalie miss the ball so it touches the back of the net. Here are some of the things you should keep in mind when shooting a soccer ball: keep your ankle locked, toe down and strike the ball with your laces. The second is if the ball is going over the goal and it is has back spin that means you are flicking your foot. So you hit with your laces, then flick your ankle up which causes the ball to go up. Keep your ankle locked toe down all the way through your follow through until you land on your kicking foot. Confidence is the most important key point in shooting. Never going into a shot thinking you are going to miss. Always, always believe without a doubt you will score when you shoot. If you miss, no big deal just hustle back on defense. You won't score every time, but you can believe you will score every time! Confidence!
