Not Just a Foot Thing

I got to coach a shooting practice today.

It shocks me how many players at the college level have never been taught how to properly shoot a soccer ball.  Most of the team uses there foot in the exact opposite way that they should, and relies on their leg alone to get power in the shot.

Taking some time to reteach them the proper fundamentals of shooting was funny to watch at first as they all looked goofy trying to get the hang of kicking a ball properly, but many were shooting better by the end of the day.

Hopefully tomorrow will start making the action more comfortable and natural for them so they can finally put some power and accuracy together on the same shot.
