Soccer Shooting Drills and Tutorial

[ssjack97]

i have tried doing everything in this video and i've been trying to fix my shot for a long time but it seems like no matter what i do it doesn't get better and its extremely frustrating. HELP!!!!!

p.s. i have downloaded the free training guide.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@ssjack97 - Go to my channel and search how to shoot a football, how to shoot a soccer ball, soccer shooting tutorial, soccer shooting drills - watch all of the videos that come up and start to apply everything you learn. Then realize that it all comes down to your technique, if you aren't shooting well, your technique needs to improve.

[ImWhoIAmOk]

It's called bloody football! :)

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@ImWhoIAmOk - FUCKIN HELL MATE! Bloody football!

[MrBlueboy786]

[kickassdown]

[itsokbeingnaked]

how about mowing the lawn while ur at it son

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@itsokbeingnaked - Id rather spend my time shooting... son!

[BMAN2579]

Hey when I shoot I tend to tilt my ankle and my foot is a at like a 45 degree instead of straight up and down. Is that okay?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@BMAN2579 - As long as you are accurate. For me that doesn't work. For you it might. There really is no wrong way to shoot if your shots hit the target every time. Different players have different techniques but several basic concepts are always present. Keep practicing and you'll be fine. Find out what works for you. Does that help?

[HADENCR7]

and besides that, your balance is awfull

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@HADENCR7 - Thanks for the comment ;)

[HADENCR7]

@TheSoccerEssentials You're not shooting that ball, just work on your balance and agility. It would be enjoyable to watch :)

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@HADENCR7 = Thanks for the comment ;)

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@HADENCR7 - Thanks for the comment ;)

[myownsoccerstar]

What can I do to stop myself from kicking the ball "sky high" every time I shoot?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@myownsoccerstar - Get your body over the ball, keep your head down, make sure your toes are pointed and flexed down towards the ground, then keep your follow through low and short don't follow through too high or lean back while shooting. Does that help?

[guywhoiscalledvicky]

what if my goalkeeper has hands? then what do i do?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@guywhoiscalledvicky - Well then you are screwed.

[GeordieOiSkin]

Man united...wankers.

[gringofreestyler]

For the sake of your viewers, can you make sure that your technique is correct. You need to follow through forwards landing on the foot you strike the ball with. You followed through up and skipped on your plant foot. I am not trying to be a jerk. I am just pointing out what I see. Take it for what you like.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@gringofreestyler - Thanks for the comment. I will work to improve my technique, always encourage the constructive criticism.

[TheBryFactor]

@TheSoccerEssentials so for the meen time i just practice and relax on my shootings and then go on advanced its because i get too excited

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheBryFactor - Ya you don't have to blast the ball. Just find the corner and pass it in the corner. It's really that simple. You should go to my channel and watch the Neymar game analysis I did. He is a great example of this at work. Thanks for the comment.

[adithya240]

hey when i shoot with my shoe laces the ball doesnt fly in the air...wat shud i do

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@adithya240 - Make your foot harder / flex your foot more. Make sure your toes are pointed down and make sure your follow through is going forward and up a bit. Play with your follow through a couple different ways and see if that makes a difference. Keep me posted.

[myownsoccerstar]

Is it important to land on the foot you kicked with? will it make a difference?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@myownsoccerstar - Thats more of an advanced technique. For now I would just focus on a relaxed shooting motion. Really focus on the flexed foot (toes pointed down foot firm). making contact in the center of the ball, and following through towards your target.

[hafezzoom]

you have swear words on your shirt

[spriyesh99]

i can see that ther is a girl filming(realy bad)!!!

[kingdev97]

fooking yanks

[SimoneSamui]

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@SimoneSamui - Thanks for the comment ;)

[TheArsenalNasri]

i was gunna listen to you but then i saw your united jersey. jk good video man

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheArsenalNasri - Haha I'm just as much a Gunners fan as I am a Manc. I'm a fake fan though. I just like to watch good football.

[TheArsenalNasri]

@TheSoccerEssentials same. i like watching good football. im anti united tho. arsenal play well and its good to watch

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheArsenalNasri - Haha I used to be Anti united. But let's be honest... they are sick. They have basic dominated English football for the last 20 years. But your right Arsenal always play a smooth sexy style. Even if they are struggling to win games.

[Reeceyboy122]

you look like a right gimp:L

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@Reeceyboy122 - Thank you for your comment ;)

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@jenfran777 - Glad you found it valuable!

[xXQUICKxSCOPEZz]

The first shots almost killed the blue guy lol, u shocked him still!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@xXQUICKxSCOPEZz - Hah don't worry about him.. he always looks like that.

[mafiacut]

ManCity owns ManU :D

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@mafiacut - This weekend! Haha wow that was amazing 6-1? WHAT THE HECK!?

[rumpledylskin]

@mafiacut ManU is 10x better than ManCity.

[mafiacut]

@rumpledylskin 6-1 haha :D

[MojeLicnoMisljenje]

the goalkeeper is amazing...

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MojeLicnoMisljenje - He's the top keeper in the academy.

[KRU51]

@MojeLicnoMisljenje beats Casillas by a longhshot, eh?

[piersphyo]

this is great,man.I just love it.you've just taught me something

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@piersphyo - Glad to hear it. Now apply it in the game./ Thats the hard part.

[ssmars39]

thanks!

[Gogeta934]

total crap.............

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@Gogeta934 - Absolute ish!

[CubeChaps]

Its really hard for me to shoot that way my feet just keeps hiting the ground D:

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@CubeChaps - Which way? With power or accuracy? Curl of Strike?

[CubeChaps]

@TheSoccerEssentials Power, Strike. What i really meant is my toes actually

[carmenchuasm]

@TheSoccerEssentials This is my other account. Er Power, Strike. Actually its my toes which keeps hiting the floor

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@carmenchuasm - So you want to try to hit higher on the ball. Seems like you are aiming too low. You basically want your toes to just brush the top of the grass and make flush contact with the ball. You may even want to practice without a ball. Just swinging your leg and brushing your toes on the top of the grass.

[CubeChaps]

@TheSoccerEssentials Yeah its getting better now :). But i dont know why everytime i kick the ball is like dipping to the goal

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@CubeChaps - You mean it goes up and then down into the ground and you want to make it go in a straight line?

[CubeChaps]

@TheSoccerEssentials Yes.

[silentbutdeadly333]

and your good

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@silentbutdeadly333 Thanks man!

[silentbutdeadly333]

Thanks great tut man

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@silentbutdeadly333 - No problem. Hope your putting it to use.

[lilshake3]

my grandma can score from that close to the net -.-

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@lilshake3 - Nice. She must be a pretty good player. You should get her to make a Soccer Shooting Tutorial. Thanks for the feedback.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@KAKUBANSAL13 - Both foot. I am naturally right footed though. You need to have both feet!

[blacksamz]

your video is great but when you speak your voice is low.Improve on it.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@blacksamz - Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.

[airsoftgun96]

im great at taking shots, but i always have a problem getting the ball to dip down after it goes over the wall... any tips?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@airsoftgun96 - This is a tough skill. There are a couple ways you can do this... with Whip and with Dip. Whip is like a David Beckham kick where he follows through the ball with a lot of pace. Dip is like a Cristiano strike where he hits it in the center of the ball with great technique and makes it swerve and dip in the air. I would watch a lot of "Knuckling" free kicks on the internet. The whip is the easier approach. Its all about follow through. Practice Practice Practice.

[zmojofoot76]

@TheSoccerEssentials ill be honest i did that but the guys that make the tutorial are right when they say that u should learn it ur own way i learned it when i was practicing curvs cus i hit the ball wrong one cus i kinda sliced it but but i followed through a little straigth n it knuckled n curved but it knuckled cus there was no spin n i kept practicing the technique but i have mastered it

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@zmojofoot76 - That is true. You need to find what works for you. It's alot about contact point (where you hit the ball), the technique you use (how your foot is placed) and your follow through (where your foot goes after your shot). and PRACTICE! Lots of it! Never stop!

[cooleo722]

you suck. i can shoot better from farther away and im 13. P.S. IM ON A BRAZILIAN TEAM!!!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@cooleo722 - Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. Be sure to get the Free Soccer Training Ebook if you haven t already.

[swagboy180]

@TheSoccerEssentials how do you get the e book

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@swagboy180 - on my website. Link in the description box above. Great place to start learning.

[MrNastradamus96]

Or maybe it's my air max's instead of soccer boots haha

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MrNastradamus96 - Honestly, It is probably your technique. Focus on your technique really break it down. Run up, planting foot, shooting technique, contact point, follow through.

[MrNastradamus96]

I can't seem to do this.. Could it be the shitty ball I have at the moment or me not playing on grass (holiday in Columbia) please answer thanks bro

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MrNastradamus96 - Read above/

[TheCompGame]

I have a question about something...How can i have more power in my kicks?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheCompGame - Swing your leg faster. Make sure your technique is perfect. Follow through, contac point, planting foot.

Improve your leg strenght- weight training

Practice!!!!

[LostCandy12]

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Im ganna show you how to kick a soccer BalL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hamet1234]

How old are you and do you play pro football? Thx

[TheLOUKID220]

thanks great video man this is what i've been waiting for keep it up man

[alanjg86]

another great vid keep them coming

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@alanjg86 - Thanks. Keep watching!

[arsenalfaneric]

What do you think of doing this daily along with going to a soccer camp and being on a team

30 minutes shooting

30 minutes juggling

30 minutes dribbling

30 minutes passing

THe soccer essentials fast footwork, one v one, dribbling turns, both control videos, shooting( the first one you made) and headers

I will also do physical training like sprints and working out

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@arsenalfaneric - Love your enthusiasm but I think u want to be careful about over training. If u are training with your team and doing camps I would keep your individual training to under 1 hr and make it more challenging.

Remember, 48 hours of rest between working the same muscle groups (physical training).

Keep it up tho and I will be watching you on TV one day. Make sure you are eating lots of GOOD food and drinking lots of Water, getting at least 7 hours of sleep!

[TheCompGame]

If you guys are having a problem hitting the ground with your toes, then slowly build up your speed, first just do it as slow as you need to so you know the contact point and little by little speed up and add little bit of power then once you think you have enough power go back farther away from the goal little by little. Practice makes perfect.

[footyfarid19]

very nice, i can drive the ball quite well but this helped a lot!

[dgabree1]

Very nice and helpful. Good for coaching kids (U11).

[Fernandosarmiento21]

is the ball you're using the tango

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@Fernandosarmiento21 - Yep. Good eye.

[ayske1]

what insane background music :P

also its forgiving where you're practicing coz the grass is long. Most fields will be dead due to the amount of games being played every week. Hitting a clean ball off a dead ground with no grass requires better technique imo which im trying to work out... or esp some fields that are not flat.

Though Dylan has good drills with rolling ball shots. They're prob the most practical as you wont often get dead balls, except for FK's.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@ayske1 - This isn't about dead ball training this is about perfecting your technique. If you can't hit a still ball properly, you will struggle to hit a rolling ball properly.

[hemal67]

Great tutorial.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@hemal67 - Thanks for watching. Hope your training hard.

[fznutmeg83]

it was funny how like a year ago...I couldn't shoot from over 12 yards and now how I can get it perfect from 22...and I always hit dipping balls and so I place my plant foot a little behind and still get the same strike and when I don't...it goes wayy too low...you're the first one I'm gonna thank when I make my high school team next year!!!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@fznutmeg83 - Nice man. Glad to hear all your hard work is paying off. I want to hear about that school trial. keep me posted.

[fznutmeg83]

@TheSoccerEssentials that's still a year away from now...but i'm gonna be skipping two years and playing in the U16 league...I was supposed to play in U14...

[TheConsoleLover]

THANK YOOU :)

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheConsoleLover - Thanks for watching. Hope your training hard.

[zmojofoot76]

hi can u make a vid on exercises to prevent injuries like in the knee hip and ankle especially the ankles cus i was out because of that n my teammates were like dude u have weak ankles cus i hurt it alot through the season some not so serious but it was still weak n maybe it might have been because it was the first time i played on a team competitively but i dont want to be getting injuries that often please reply or make a vid as a reply to that

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@zmojofoot76 - Ok. First thing you need to do though is start strengthening your body. Most players get injured because they have weak muscles and joints.

The second thing is your pre game warm up and post game recovery. Do you do any stretching?

[zmojofoot76]

@TheSoccerEssentials yeah i do alot of thoses i watched them from ur vid and its usually my ankles that get injured other than that it was my hip but that was an accident

[starfoxassualt]

another tip for power is to land on the same foot you kicked with for a better follow through

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@starfoxassualt - Yep. That is definitely an advanced technique. Good tip though.

[TheCompGame]

The weird thing is i can shoot better with my left foot when i shoot with my laces and i can shoot better with my right foot when im curving the ball, or trying to be accurate.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheCompGame - That's because you think about it more. You focus more on your technique where your stronger foot you are just swinging naturally without really thinking about it.

[TheCompGame]

I had this nice goal yesterday where the keep was running up to me he was like 3-4 feet away and i chipped it right over his head.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheCompGame Haha NICE!!!

[zmojofoot76]

how do u do the power shot without kicking the ground cus i always kick the ground n if i dont i hurt my toe cus im trying to kick the center of the ball with my laces all i can do is curve i developed some power (im pretty accurate with it if i mess up i can fix it) but id rather shoot the straight shot cus i wanna be a striker and when i curve its only good when i practice freekicks which strikers dont do when they are on the run

[fznutmeg83]

@zmojofoot76 could be that your plant foot is too ahead of the ball...so try moving it back a little...

[zmojofoot76]

@fznutmeg83 no its usually next to the ball and when i get a good solid hit i sky it i dont scoop it but i just goes up in the air

[fznutmeg83]

@zmojofoot76 try leaning forward...lock your ankle...toes pointed downwards and hit the center of the ball

[zmojofoot76]

@fznutmeg83 im scared that i will kick the ground and break my toe

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@zmojofoot76 - Follow through lower, end your follow through lower but make sure your foot is directed to your target.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@fznutmeg83 - Also true.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@zmojofoot76 - You need to aim higher on the ball. Your toes should just brush the ground gentle as they follow through the ball. I used to do the same thing. It's practice. Its really focusing on your CONTACT POINT!

[evanbournehighfly]
