 If you want to score more goals these are some soccer drills for strikers and forwards These are soccer drills for forwards or strikers and They're all going to incorporate shooting and finishing In my opinion as a striker if you're practicing by yourself or with your team The main objective is to fill that net with this ball or all these balls as many times as you can We all want to score more goals, but if we analyze how we're actually practicing We're not practicing shooting the only time some people practice shooting is when they're in the match And then they get upset when they don't score enough. So if you want to score more goals This time in practice get those repetitions practice scoring goals. It will transfer the game So all these different shooting drills good for strikers, but players of all position first one I'm going to do is a placement finish. So I want to warm up the legs a bit But also practice this finish that we all need as a striker running on a breakaway One-on-one. I'm just going to open up my feet. I'm going to pick a corner Okay, so a couple things I Have a little rebounder here. It's actually the back of a mini net and I want to do a better Job of that because that's a save But when I'm playing this pass here, and I'm receiving the ball And I'm receiving the ball Here I want to practice running with speed because if I have an opportunity to get in on goal And I go too slowly Defender is going to come back in front of me now I have to beat him again any time you have the opportunity to get in on goal use your pace whatever pace you have be direct Hey, what's up? I hope you're finding this content helpful Watch this all the way to the end if you want to find out which subscriber got this video's special shout out Then get your head up Then pick your spot. Okay, that guy doesn't want to stay up. He's staying down So practice with both feet running with the ball composure Picking a corner. Okay, so there's two finishes that I would practice here One is like I've been doing opening up Opening up putting it to that far side the other one that I would practice as a striker One cord you encourage you to do is play that pass Attack here. I'm going to shape like I'm going there, but We I'm shaping like I'm going to this corner giving the keeper the eyes so with my With my body positioning, I'm shaping there with my eyes. I'm looking there. But at the last second I'm passing in there Okay, so that's the first drill You could do for a striker placement finish on a breakaway running with the ball Last second get compose Put it in the corner. Put a bit of pace on it starts slow Put a bit of pace on your movement a bit of pace on your shots Getting this guy out of here. He's pissing me off Okay next one Again all these realistic One-on-one bit of skill and then get your shot now you're a little warmed up Okay, bit of skill Get your shot on net So again, same as on the breakaway if I attack him slow or if I attack that space slow I'm gonna have to beat more guys. I'm gonna miss my opportunity to shoot if I dribble at him slow I'm easy to defend If he's on his back foot here. I want to use my speed to my advantage Okay, so dribbling Shooting after a bit of skill. So if you don't have a partner or someone to pass that's fine Just go a bit of skill Practice getting the shots on there as a striker biggest thing is that You're actually hitting the target. Don't worry about it going in the top corner breaking the net Just hit the net every single time and then you can focus on hitting those corners a little deeper or a little sharper But practice shooting after a little bit of skill Moving forward some more soccer drills for strikers forwards Here I want to focus on getting your shots off quickly how many times in a game Have you had a really good opportunity to shoot? But for some reason you took another touch or maybe you took another touch when you should have just hit it And you knew you should have just hit it or you had a really good opportunity to shoot and for some reason You passed it to a teammate or even worse You just took way too long and you lost possession or you gave the ball away because you hesitated Don't let that happen to you Especially as a striker you need to develop this mindset that anytime that ball is coming to me especially in the attacking third I'm already thinking how can I get my shot off? As quickly as possible now. I'm not telling you to rush your shots I'm not telling you to rush your shots But I am telling you that before that ball is coming to you. I'm not thinking about okay Have a good first touch Now maybe I can dribble into space and now I can turn before that ball is coming to me I'm already thinking here's the space for my shot And I'm trying to get that off quickly. Okay, because if you take one touch to receive One touch. Let's play One touch to receive one touch to turn turn towards goal now. I'm gonna try to shoot It's way too long. This guy's gonna tackle you easily. I'm already thinking boom. How can I? Find some space for myself before that ball comes to me. So this is a drill that you can practice shooting off a turn If you have a teammate or you have something to pass to you into space Getting your shot off. Okay, so first touch before that ball is even coming to me. I already know boy, I Already know I'm trying to attack. I'm trying to spin and turn so you can set this up in many different variations from the side Let's do a few okay, but get in the mindset of Before that ball comes to me. I'm already thinking of my first touch. I'm not stopping it Then I'm gonna do a bit of skill and then I'm gonna beat you. It's too long in a game. I'm thinking boom Get your shot off quickly. Okay, so that split second between First touch and shot needs to get sharper what I mean by this the time it takes for me to take the shot and then to release my shot for me to take that touch and then to release that shot it needs to be sharper because The higher level you play off Play at the less time you have to get your shot off. So think about touch out of space, but also the quick footwork to get to your shot if I'm Receiving this ball touch and then I'm moving my feet slowly. It's taking too long. Okay, so focus on Good touch quick feet Get your shot off quickly the last of the soccer drills For strikers. I want to show you Is one-timers? So as a striker you need to become comfortable Hitting the ball early if I always need one touch to touch to set myself Before I can get a shot off. I'm gonna miss my opportunities as I said The higher level you play off play at the less time you have to get your shots off. So you Need to become comfortable Striking the ball early with both feet in different ways So let's demo a few different scenarios ways you could take one-timers Okay, my teammate wants to play me half-holies. Maybe your teammate will give you better quality you play Off the turn. Let me see if I can hit that a little cleaner a little better okay, but playing in different ways and Whatever happens just try to hit it especially in practice Don't worry about taking an extra touch You have to build build a confidence and you just have to try you're never gonna be able to hit that full ball You're never gonna be able to score the goal If you don't try to take the shot Okay, so practicing different ways and Anytime I miss a shot. I want to try to replicate that and analyze so this came across me and I pulled on it See we can play with you, buddy This came across me and I pulled on it where'd I go? I went that way with my fall through with my body Positioning so the next time I want to hit this I want to go that way forward Okay, so if you have a bad shot correct it Another one you could do is a forward pass into the target and I want to make better contact on that Something like that. Let's try again Let's settle there. Okay, but when you're striking one-time shots It's so important that you keep your eye on the ball until you make contact a lot of times That pass will come in if you want to play with me this pass will come in and before I've even made contact with the ball I'm already looking I'm already looking up. I'm already looking at the net Especially on one time you really have to focus on where you're making contact on the ball pick a specific spot That you want to hit and keep your eye on that until your foot actually Makes contact with the ball so these Are some soccer drills for forwards or strikers This is the featured subscriber for this video if you'd like to be featured in future videos Hit that like button drop a comment below and let me know how my videos have helped you improve and achieve more in this sport
