5 must body positions [SHOOTING]

Locking your ankle, pointing toes down… When you strike the ball, this is probably the most important factor in developing proper shooting technique.

If you want to master the skill of shooting, remember:

Leg Position

Bring your kicking leg as high as possible. This will generate the most amount of power.

Ankle Position

Keep your ankle locked.

Knee Position

Your plant knee should be slightly bent. This will ensure that you strike the ball with the laces. The more you bend the knee the more chances you’ll have to strike the ball with your laces.

Plant Distance

Try to keep your plant leg about 20 cm away from the ball. This will ensure that when you strike the ball your kicking ankle will be at a 45 degree angle – the angle at which you’ll generate the most amount of power.

Body Position

Make sure you lean slightly forward. This will ensure that your shot stays low to the ground. If you lean back the ball will go up in the air.

SUPER BONUS!

The important step: 45 degrees angle. This is extremely important. If this is not donecorrectly your shooting will not improve. Your ankle needs to be at about a 45 degree angle so that you can strike the ball with your laces. If you are not at this angle there is a high chance that you will strike the ball with your toes.
