How to properly kick your soccer ball
You must be able to kick a soccer ball (or football) with good technique and form. These are the steps to properly kick a football:
-
Place your feet shoulder-width apart. Keep your knees slightly bent. Point your toes forward.
-
Place your left foot at your knees and your left heel against the back of your right thigh. Your back leg should support your weight.
-
Your front leg should be extended straight ahead. Keep your hips in line and your upper back relaxed.
-
Swing your kicking leg up and around until your toe is just above the top of the ball.
-
Keep your swing at its peak and push your kicking leg down hard.
-
As soon as the ball leaves your foot, immediately begin pushing off with your standing leg, moving toward the target.
-
Once you have completed your forward motion, stop kicking your leg and let it go.
-
Then, repeat the process for the opposite side.
-
Practice this exercise daily until you feel comfortable with the mechanics.
-
Always practice using both legs together. Never kick one-legged!
-
Take a deep breath and enjoy each step.
-
Keep your eyes on the ball and not on your opponent. Focus on what you're doing.
-
Relax and let go all distractions.
-
Be positive. Negative thoughts about yourself and others are not a good idea.
