 Today I want to talk about the most common reasons why people miss the net so if you want to hit the net more often you want to score more goals than this video is for you. The biggest thing is that you become conscious of these mistakes or these bad habits and actually see yourself doing them and then you can correct them and you'll become a lot better shooter you'll hit the net more often you'll score more goals. First one is simply trying to hit the ball way too hard okay you do not have to put a hole in the back of the net for it to counter as a goal and that's exactly what happens you might hit a rocket of a shot but if it's you're trying to kill it every single time you're not going to be consistent with your shooting okay. If you don't know about me I used to be a huge under-achiever but through obsessive self-improvement I found my success earned a college scholarship played for my national futsal team a youtube channel with over 100 million views I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. Some of the best shots that I've ever hit in my life are not the ones I've tried to kill the hardest they're the ones I focused on just making good contact and having good technique especially if you're in close range it's much better for you to pick your spot put it down in the corner just like that think about the messy typical goal okay that is much more reliable you'll score way more often if you get in the habit of doing that now I'm not saying you can't hit the ball hard I'm just saying you don't have to kill it okay because when you try to kick the ball way too hard you lose your focus you lose your control okay so maybe just hit it about 80% and you're gonna be much more likely to get the ball on target you are going to hit it hard make sure you get your body over it okay if I can get here and I can get my body positioning over the ball really make sure that there's no way that ball is going over the net and I can make sure that my body is going towards the net my fall through is going towards the net then you can hit it as hard as you want if that ball is running away from you and you're trying to nail it as hard as you can you're way back here what do you think is going to happen okay that's what's going to happen because there's no control number one you're leaning back you're not getting over the ball enough or at least central and number two is the direction that your body faces when you hit the ball so I talked about this in another video if I come through the ball and what's a right footer's tendency is to pull it to the left I hit it and I end up like this with my body okay the ball is always going over there for a left footer a tendency is to pull it to the right so I hit it and my body ends up facing this way okay and that's over exaggerated but if you're always pulling it to one side or the other think about where your body ends up okay so second mistake is your body positioning if you want to improve faster and achieve more this season use the soccer success planner it's 100 free players all around the world have already used it to improve you can download it right now there's a link in the description below the third mistake is just lack of focus if you want to hit a good shot you need to be focusing on everything that you can control most people when they're in this situation they're not even thinking they're just panicking and it ends up being a shot that they don't really want to have you know you're like gone on a run you cut through three guys play to one two you sprinted up the whole field and now it's time to shoot and you have just no energy and you just kind of swing at it okay it's all about focus so especially when you're really tired you need to somehow find that energy for that half a second to really focus on what you're doing and what I mean by focus is focus on your technique okay decompose especially if you're in close areas and you have the time to pick a spot decomposed think about okay where I want it to go how I'm going to get it there and just produce that technique focus on that technique all the things we talked about body over the ball nice fall through make sure my body's going where I want it to go okay and just that mental focus make sure you get that ball on target the last problem the biggest mistake people aren't hitting the net consistently enough is because they're not practicing enough and that's the simple truth all these tips all these videos they're great but if you're not getting out to the field and practicing you're gonna miss the net especially when you're in a high pressure situations so you need to be practicing shooting in all these different situations with both feet and you need to do it consistently the truth is most people want to score goals they want to hit the net but the only time they practice shooting is in their game on Sundays they don't take advantage of every single day of the week or you go to your practice and maybe your team does a shooting drill but how many shots do you actually get you only get a few shots so if you want to be a goal scorer you need to be getting hundreds of shots every single day both feet different situations and if some of the bad habits that I illustrated or demonstrated in this video today are things that you do become conscious of them and make sure you don't make the same mistakes again and again learn from your mistakes and you're going to become a better player a better shooter and a better goal scorer removing up divisions to making national teams players who use the online soccer academy get results access elite level coaching and training become a complete player make a difference on the field and get noticed when you play limited spots available apply today start improving tomorrow link in the description below
