 One take progressive soccer Dylan to be we're in the park with Tylee. We do a whole bunch of shooting variations Her shooting has improved so much and a lot of players especially young players can improve very quickly If they just get the right coaching cues at the right time So we're gonna do a bunch of variations different drills, but to start we're gonna do super basic Tylee you've done this a whole bunch of times Let's start here on your right foot. I Just want you to come up here All I'm gonna do is roll it into your path Just want you to shoot good technique. Yes flex foot keep your ankle your foot locked through the ball But lock out the whole leg no bends in the knees no bends in the foot Lock out the whole egg keep it locked through the ball and whatever you're body positioning body positioning leaning over the ball Don't lean back ready and the way you approach the ball quick footwork attack the ball attack the ball Good backtrack good ready. Go get reps get warmed up Lock it out toes down Look at the center of the ball. Yes, beautiful. Do it like that every time Look at the ball until you hit it. Don't look at the net. Yes. Go again Good There's a hole in the net that was top corner Yes, that's good again. That's the top corner. Don't worry about Fall through to the net good very good Good okay, just jog for me reset starting super basic before we go into the more advanced drills But for some players, especially they're struggling with shooting technique basic technique making good contact with the ball There's no point in doing that other stuff with combination play and different types of finishes if they can't even get that good technique Right and left foot. So a younger player. I might just do this might just do five different sets on each side Good, that's fine Love the way you attack that ball though. You don't wait for it. You go to it Yeah, again keep it flex. It's very good. Cool Yeah Find the center of the ball find the center of the ball flex through it. Yes, and body over. Don't lean back Good very good. Go again. Go one more best one Flex keep that flex lock the whole leg out through the ball Yes, good Okay reset the balls go get the four ones We're gonna progress If I felt she wasn't making good contact. She wasn't having good enough shots. We'd stay there We do more sets, but her contact was good. Her technique was good. We're gonna move on. Okay, tell you all I'm gonna do here Let me start on this side. I'm gonna play you a ball Play I want you to play back one more time I'm gonna take a touch past the defender and Then I'm gonna take my shot on that. Yes, come back other side Play good first touch Strike on the net, okay Ready on your toes Good pass you go first touch pass attack big swing good If your touch is bad you hit it anyways adjust your feet hit it anyways, but weight of touch run with your first touch Play again first touch pass the defender. Yes and attack it good beautiful go Again play here go run with that first touch into space. Yes Perfect best one go again. Good Tyler keep it going again first touch. Yes Love it. Go keep one keep that toe down especially on your right side your left is looking better with your flex Love it and that's when you get in that clean contacts coming off your foot nice and strong go flex through lean over it Good ready play again Last one last one best one good first touch run with it get there Love it. Very good. Okay reset We're gonna move on by just a few coaching cues on this one before move to the next drill So most important here. We're working on the first touch before a shot a lot of players to get in these situations I'm already thinking about shooting before I've set myself for the shot Sometimes the most important thing you can do to score goals is not what you do with the shot It's what you do before the shot play So if my touch is bad here This is a tough shot for me to hit and it's also tough for me to get past the defender if I'm in these situations And I'm taking one two Three four touches to set myself before I shoot the opportunities usually gone So what I'm really focusing on here is I know it's time to score and get it out of my feet and Step into the ball. Also, it's the way she attacks the ball because a lot of players play I can have a good first touch, but now I'm up here and I'm kind of Trotting into the ball jogging into the ball It's never gonna be as good as if you have quick footwork and attack the ball Okay, so I'm really focusing on out of my feet on top of the ball Attack the ball quick footwork into the ball like this content check out the soccer success planner You can download it for free. There's a link in the description below and for advanced training Check out the online soccer Academy work into the ball if you're taking big heavy steps into your shot It's never gonna be as powerful as nice quick footwork attacking the ball I don't need to demo. You're good enough smart enough to pick it up gonna play the same play here play back to me I'm just gonna set this here and you're gonna hit the first time Okay, beautiful ready go back other side on your toes play again playing Left foot get around it. Yep. Nice. Look at this girl cool again Go attack the ball That's okay. That's okay. I want you to go again fix it fix it on your right play lean over it more fall through not up Yep, that's okay.

Can you have quality when you're tired again again playing me again playing me again? Go come get there get there get there Good time so this one we're doing first-time shots one-timers and Sorry Tyler just come on this side Swap that ball. I don't like that one Play here. Okay, so play with me. So when I'm doing a one-time shot and Just try to play it right through there. Don't hit the balls Okay, when I'm doing a one-time shot. I'm running to the ball my focus becomes so much more Important it should always be important, but when that ball is traveling And I'm hitting it first time if I set it here It's a little easier for me to swing at the faster that ball is coming the more I have to actually focus on the ball player and play me through here. Okay. I should be watching that ball Watching my foot meet the ball until I make contact So many players especially one-timer They're going to swing it and before they even hit it. They're already looking up They're already looking up at the net. They've already lost control of their body So when it's a one-timer take a bit of your power off you the faster that ball comes at me the less power I need the more technique I need so focus on the ball I contact on the ball until it meets your foot. Don't look at the net focus on the ball until you make contact The other one is your body position your body control if I'm going to hit that one-timer and my body is Losing control because I'm running forward. It's going to be hard for me to control that shot So really focus on keeping your body still keeping your shoulders locked towards the target keeping your body still on top of it Okay, and like I said the faster her pass comes the less power. I need the more technique I need Okay, now we're going to shoot off a dribble. So I just want to start like this Tally play me a pass in here after you play your pass. I want you to come in front of that pole You're gonna be me. That's Robbie and you just stand there. You're just gonna be like a passive defender. Okay, so go back play the pass Play the pass and just step in front of that cone. I'm gonna start here. I'm gonna play around I'm gonna receive on this side play right back into me play right back in front of that cone do it one more time And I want you to play a hard pass right back into me Okay, so first touch here come here good now. I'm going at you. I just want a little bit of skill and And a strike on that okay vary your skill do something different every time okay first touch across play here Come in front and get it. Yes. Let's see slow touch play Good now attack me skill hit Good, okay Grab those two quick Okay, and look here when you play that when you play that you're seeing on this time when you play this pass Don't run in here Play it here come on the other side of the cone make sense Go right and left each time do one more time. Yeah play Think you're smarter focus. You know what you're doing play one touch Good other side of the cone Good attack me now. There you go now. You got it. Yep and hit Good beautiful. That's a goal. So play a touch play that pass quick movement around ready touch play there you go now attack now attack Good and swing. Yes, that's okay lean over that shot Play play Come Good Good, okay show me some different skills now If it's if it's too close to me use that skip touch, but show me a bit of skill and be creative Come come speed. Yeah and swing good. Okay practice Practice it's different. It's realistic. Go again. Come on. You're confident be confident be confident Go on with speed. Don't hesitate. Don't hesitate. Yes. There you go. Good recovery. Yes, beautiful Good swing. Yes lean over it more swing through it Touch play come on come on come good Yeah, okay, but you're getting tired and you're leaning back too much on your shots get over it and explode through the ball Here you go. Show me show me. Yep. Good Good swing. No swing. No. It's a tired shot This ball wants to come back and wants to get again With better technique more power Cool big swing. Yes. Look at that. Cool. Last one do it like that. Okay through it through it through it good Well done. So took her a few repetitions to get the drill of course, but also To remove her hesitation in here. There's a big difference between Shooting from a standstill shooting from a first touch shooting one-timer and also shooting off the dribble or shooting after a skill move Okay, so a lot of players in these situations This is where you score your goals and the way you're gonna score more goals is removing that hesitation so I'll just use this pole as a defender, but When I'm in these situations and I get here at top of the box and I'm hesitant. I don't know where to go That opportunity is often lost. You're not gonna score goals. You're not gonna make tackles. Sometimes the best skill is just a touch and A hit. Okay, so when you're in these situations, it's better to be direct than over complicate the play I can do moves If I make up my mind early and I do it without hesitation It's better for me to do my move too early Then it is too late and get in the feet of the defender So when you're in these one-on-one situations, just remind yourself. Don't hesitate. Just go and remember sometimes I don't even need a move I just need a good change of direction get my shot off quickly One more thing about that She's going she's doing high reps. She's starting to get tired What happens when we get tired is our shooting technique starts to go We started just kind of swinging our leg at the ball rather than focusing on what we're doing It's so important. You have that mental focus when you're tired You did all the hard work. You won the ball. You played a combination You did a little bit of skill and now it's time to shoot and you're tired and you're heavy And you kind of just let yourself go that is the most important part for you to remain focused So regardless of how tired you are you have to summon a little bit of focus a little bit of energy for that final product So when it's time to shoot regardless of how tired you are get away from this and Come into this Body over the ball attack the ball those two steps make positive steps towards the ball Okay swing towards your target body's going forward. It's not tired. It's not backwards. It's forward. It's attacking the ball It's moving towards the net All you're gonna do start here every time I'm gonna make a bit of movement here, but as soon as I come around this corner now I'm quick now. I'm alive and just focus on Getting over that ball. Okay. We'll practice the technique. I'll give you advice, but jog jog jog Here come alive sprint past the defender attack the space. Okay, let's do these five Yeah, it's a different technique. It should be easy, but unless you practice it can be very difficult ready go good Finish every time if you're taking touches in the box usually opportunities going good tell you go one more Yes, adapt So with all these drills if I'm feeling that she's doing really well We can always progress to the next one if we're struggling with the technique don't rush through it Sometimes we might have to do one drill the whole session until you actually see the improvement but as long as you're positive and re-encouraging Kids can stick with a few drills. They need to see that progression and you need you can't get frustrated with them If you get frustrated with them as a coach, they're gonna get frustrated as a player different shooting variations starting with very basic progressing to a little more advanced and just shooting from different angles so many players they come out to the field and all They do is set a ball down and hit dead balls hit free kicks Realistically in a game you might not have any free kicks But you'll have all different types of variations and opportunities to get your shot off. So it's so important you become comfortable Shooting in different ways right and left foot off the turn off a first touch first time And whenever you have an opportunity to take a shot in the game I want you to take it you will never regret shooting and missing the net I promise you you will regret having an opportunity to shoot and Hesitating or passing to a teammate sometimes you got to play the pass But if you want to be a goal scorer, I need you to be a little greedy in front of goal Thank you for watching this video.
