In our tutorial on how to get a harder shot we will look at the run-up, how you plan your foot, how you swing your shooting leg, where you strike the football and what your follow through should look like - all in the name of helping you learn how to get a harder shot.

I have practiced shooting more time than actually playing the game and I am known as the fire gun :)

If I had made a video like this It'd be a bit different.

1. Prepare mentally for the shot. You need to hate the ball and not be afraid of hitting it. So many guys slice the ball because they're scared of it + they gain control. If you train hitting the ball hard every day your foot will get hard and your control will also be more confident. You should end a session when your foot aches (after about 2-3 hours)

2. Body shape is much more important than run up. I can hit the ball harder than most guys, standing still. When you approach the ball you need to move from a very closed body shape, arms close to your body. As you land your balance foot you are now in a totally open body shape with arms stretched and, most importantly, your hips are in a slight angle. You then close your body shape and let your belly help as well as the swing motion.

3. Never use the inside of the foot. You should try to hit the ball with the very centre of your foot and the wrist should be 180 degrees open. This makes all the difference. Guys who use closer to 90 degrees angle on their wrists are crappy free kickers when it comes to power. This is one of the most important things in my technique.

4. We'll see if this makes sense but I will try to explain it. Example to check out is Roberto Carlos vs France friendly game pre world cup - that world famous free kick. Run up should be in the direction as if you were kicking the ball with the inside of the foot. Foot motion is going towards the ball as if you'd be kicking with the outside of your foot. Hit should be in the centre of the ball with an outside spin follow through. Forget about knuckle ball - they have an extremely limited power range.

5. Relax your body in the run up. Too much tension and will can hurt the follow through. Your shot can be determined by a milli second after hitting the ball just by the feel of the follow through body shape. Let all the energy out and make an extra mini jump if you hit the sweet spot. I've noticed it enhances muscle memory.

6. Hitting the ball you should always strive to have your wrist as pointed down to the ground as you can. Your body should feel like it is going over the ball and you impact should come as close to straight under you as you possibly can.

Practice pings. It is a great mental enhancer that translates from your hands to your feet and makes your brain learn a lot of ball movement. You get hundreds of touches in a very short time and your decision making will be great. This tip is one of the basics.

I need to make my own video :)

Other important things imo are locking your ankle proper. The more room your foot is allowed to bend the less energy is transferred into the ball.
Also leaning slightly to the left (as a right footer) matters a lot. Don't want to go dipping your foot into the ground.

thank you man, my kick is getting stronger and my ball is flying to a neighbor's house, I'm not lying this is true, but I'm thankful because my kick is getting stronger

As a beginner one easy tip where I saw immediate improvement was locking my ankle all the way out when I shoot, try it if you haven't

[Skulltroxx]

Imagine Roberto Carlos explaining his technique! 🔥

Excellent. MY 10 year old daughter struggling with her kicks. Your breakdown really helped her improve.

[sheldonlukemackey]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, it's been years I haven't been playing football and have forgotten everything!
I have strong muscles in my legs and did the error of tightening them too much to "create" power, I was completely wrong!!

Me in the middle of a match to the opposing team: "hold up lemme do i run up before i shoot no one take the ball"






The opposing team: "understanble go on bro"
