Man, every time I shoot with the laces, I ruin my shoes and often hurt my Achilles because the end of my shoe (where my toes are) drag or touch the ground as I shoot. This happens mostly on concrete, but I cant practice on grass cos there isnt really any grass around my house. HELP? THANKS
@DaB3aTz96 - So you need to keep your knee over the ball and keep your follow through short. If you follow through two high or across your body rather than short and towards goal the ball will usually go into the stands. Do you know what I mean?
@DaB3aTz96 - Ya I know what you mean. Same thing applies. Lack of time just forces you to panic. You are stilling doing the same motion. Just calm your thinking process and use proper technique. Do you understand what I am trying to say?
@kingdev97 - Your not meeting the center of your foot to the center of the ball. Try to really flex your foot and make your toes are pointed down, then make sure you are following through forward towards the goal not across your body. Does that help?
I have no idea why and i have many people ask me how i can naturally shoot with the outside of my right foot and have as accurate as i like. But i find them shots to be the most natural. Not being big headed or anything but i feel more comfortable smashing it at such an angle on the outside of my right that it fools the keeper and slips in, either skimming the post or missing it by inches and smacking the back of the net
@Zephrani - It's just about repetition. You probably picked it up when you were younger and continued to use it as you grew older. Its a great technique to have but I hope you are improving your other techniques of shooting as well. And with both feet! Yes? Thanks for the comment.
I really like your videos ... they help me a lot mate... i cant shoot with the inside of the foot on my weak (left) foot i know ill "get better every day" but can you give me more tips to improve weak foot? and to shoot with the outside in both feet? :) ty
@500Killed - There are no secret tips. It's all about practice. Just think about how many more times you've kicked the ball with your stronger foot compared to your weaker? It only makes sense that one is weaker than the other. Get your practice up. Same goes for outside of the boot. How many times have you done that shot compared to laces. It's all about practice. Thanks for the comment.
Hey is this normal, I do all of your drills on this video everyday, 20 per foot, and on my left foot its kind of getting better and my right foot is like super good, so do I have to make both feet equal, or will the shooting foot always be be stronger then the non kicking foot?
@Maradrogba - Depends on how hard your willing to work. I would work to improve both as much as possible. The second you think one foot is "good enough" is the second you will stop growing as a player. Always improving in every way possible.
@TheSoccerEssentials Yeah mate i am using both feet. I used your idea for just dribbling the ball around the house etc. My dog wernt having any of it so i was balancing it on my foot just above its head before flicking it up. She wern't too happy lol
@MultiRhys09 - Ya you are definitely right about the volleys. If you don't get your contact point and follow through just right you will have a very hard time getting the ball on target.
Hey guys, I wanted to ask you can vote for my soccer team they are in a competition sponsored by the New YorkRedBulls If my team gets the most votes, they receive $10, 000 worth of soccer equipment I am truly sorry for bothering you+every1 but i really want my team to win. If anyone else can volunteer I would be delighted. The website is on my channel PLEASE visit the new york red bull website and vote for my soccer team UptownSoccerAcademy It just takes 2 seconds of your time! It ends 9/23/11
@MRJordanRing1 - For sure you can practice with a tennis ball if thats all you have. But you should definitely work to get a good ball over time. It will help you in the long run.
@Zikry1113 - Stop being such a wuss? Are you shootig wtih our laces or your toes. Make sure you have a locked ankle, toes pointed down, and you are making contact in the center of the ball with the center of your foot.
@soccerruben1 - Well pick a spot every time you shoot. Don't simply just shoot the ball. Shoot the ball with a purpose. You can start by setting up a target on a wall and trying to hit it 50 times.
But more importantly whenever you are shooting and games and practice pick a spot and try to hit it, don't just shoot for the sake of shooting.
@nehhshstr - Exactly. So start with your accuracy. Once you can get the ball to where you want it to be every time. Then start to add the power. Technique and Accuracy must be mastered before Power can be properly implemented.
@TheSoccerEssentials Thanks a million. I have satisfactory accuracy when i am close to the post...but my far shots fly randomly. After hearing your advice , I dont think my tecnique is proper either. how do i improve or correct my technique. Also, while taking a keepers kick I cant manage to put enough power into the ball.
@TheSoccerEssentials how is this supposed to help u use a small football cus u play futsal hows that going to help when i play football you have a smaller pitch so u dont have to kick with much power but good video though
im having trouble learning how to hit it good off your lace because i can only seem to put loads of backspin on it. is there a certain technique Greeaatt vid mayte
@mattydncr1 - Lock your ankle. Hold your foot tight and really focus on meeting the center of your boot to the center of the ball. But in the end it just comes down to PRACTICE.

@EliteFootballer7 - Half Volley - you strike the ball right after it bounces.
Full Volley - you strike the ball straight out the air with no bounce.
