How Beckham Mastered the Freekick - Step by step Tutorial

In this video I show you How to Curve the Ball with added power & whip without compromising on accuracy. I hope you enjoy!

Still the most successful freekick technique in the premier league, Beckhams iconic freekick style has been admired by many. Whilst it's been almost 20 years since he's last appearance in the top flight, he still holds the record for most freekicks scored - Quite incredible considering he's spent the majority of his career outside of the UK.

His technique can be applied to passing, shooting & crossing of the ball. I've broken it down to 6 steps that you can follow along too and practice in your own time. Some of them might come more naturally to you, whilst others might need some time to wrap your head around. But with time and repetition, you too can Master the Curve :)

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers Folks,
Tony

20 years since he last played in the premier league and he still holds the record! How long before Ward-Prowse leads the way?

Other tips I think might be useful are:
1. You can bend your standing leg for better control and power if need be, because you can move your body more smoothly
2. Angle your torso slightly downwards or at least straight if you don't want the ball to fly away vertically
3. If you feel uncomfortable performing a technique in a specific way, adjust your movement until it's both effective and sort of natural

Step 1: the hair, you need a Beckham haircut no matter what era it was, but you need one

How James Ward Prowse hasn't gone to a top six side is beyond me. You'd want him in your team just to take all the free kicks and corners 👍😀

As an American who never learned how to even lace a ball until I looked it up online, this is really cool to see. There is a ton of technique in striking

Very interesting to see how he uses his arms. He's a right foot and raises his left arm for balance. Meanwhile im a left foot and i use my left arm for balance, despite taking the same approach angle toward the ball.
Great video!

[aaronkaplan]

Brilliant. thanks for the great explanation and breakdown.

[streettekkers]

I saw so many beckham videos but this one is the best, i never know he generates arc shape follow through, thank you so much brother 💯

[ophrasbankaccount]

[colebcoleman]

I am no one at all, but been a player, coach, ref, and student of the game for 30 years.. the best on you tube in my humble opinion.. fantastic stuff! Do you have anything on "ankle lock" or how to shape your striking foot .. I have run into this so often, and there isnt a great video that I have seen on the subject. again, super stuff, love the breakdown!

[pacegoca]

Wonderful Video, it helped me to perfect this tecnique, i play as a midfielder and i didnt know about all this stuff i did pretty accurate passes but i was bad at freekicks now i am kinda better. keep going like that!

[Ibrahim_ouahbi]

Fantastic place for practice, great analyses keep up ⬆️

[Pikoldan]

Mate this video is my essense 😅 I modelled my entire set piece routines after Beckham, I have also found it can help with certain types of passes and shot as long as you integrate it right

[sloxed]
