“It's important to break your technical shooting sessions down into small steps and focus on one technical element at a time.”
So, how can you develop proper shooting technique?
Start with the basics: The most important thing to focus on when shooting is proper technique. This includes things like positioning the plant foot next to the ball, striking the ball with the laces, and following through with the kicking leg. It's important to break your technical shooting sessions down into small steps and focus on one technical element at a time.
Use drills and exercises: There are a number of drills and exercises that can help you improve your shooting technique. For example, you can set up a series of cones or other markers and practice shooting at different targets. You can also use small-sided games or shooting challenges to work through more game-like shooting opportunities.
Repeat, repeat, repeat: Like any skill, shooting takes practice to master. Take plenty of shots during practice and keep track of your progress. This will help you build muscle memory and feel more comfortable and confident when it comes to shooting in game situations.
Emphasize the importance of power and accuracy: While it's important to be able to generate power when shooting, it's equally crucial for them to be accurate. Focus on both power and accuracy when shooting, and sometimes it's better to place a shot rather than trying to blast it past the keeper.
In conclusion, working on proper shooting technique is an extremely important aspect of training. By focusing on the basics, using drills and exercises, repeating and repeating, and emphasizing the importance of power and accuracy, you can develop the shooting skills you need to succeed on the field.
