How To Shoot A Soccer Ball With Your Weak Foot! SHOOTING TRAINING

If you NEED to learn how to shoot a soccer ball with your weak foot, I’d love to help you solve this problem ASAP.

There’s nothing more humiliating than knowing you can’t shoot with your weak foot. You pass up shooting opportunities or miss easy chances because you have NO confidence shooting with your weak foot.

You don’t have to struggle with this problem anymore. Whether you want to admit it or not. Having a weak foot is a choice. If you train with my methods, I don’t allow weak footed players. From now on you have two strong feet.

Today, we will make some massive improvements in your weak foot shooting.

How to shoot a soccer ball with your weak foot

Learning how to kick a soccer ball with your weak foot is extremely important because player who can only play with one foot are extremely predictable and easy to defend.

But what about MESSI!? He’s only left footed.

I hate to break it to you, but you’re not Lionel Messi. That’s also a false argument. Messi has the ability to use his weaker foot. He just favors his left side.

Why do most players have a weak foot?

Truthfully, it comes down to neglect. Your weak foot is “weak” because you’ve neglected it for your entire soccer career. The other foot received all the love and attention. Think about how many more touches, passes, and shots you’ve taken with your stronger foot compared to your weak foot?

It makes perfect sense why the two are different. If you put in the same amount of time, attention, and effort into your weak foot - it would no longer be weak.

Everyone wants results without putting in the work.

How to shoot a soccer ball with weak foot

If you already have a basic understanding of how to shoot a soccer ball, it’s your responsibility to apply these principles to your weak foot. With that in mind, here are some of the most common mistakes I see when players are learning how to shoot a soccer ball with their weak foot:

#1 - Poor Approach. Many players will have an awkward run up when shooting on their weak side. On their strong foot they have quick footwork and run into the ball naturally. On their weak side, they will approach with no run up or big heavy steps. Analyze your movement into the ball. How does your right compare to your left?

#2 - Restricted Backswing. Weak foot soccer shots usually have a very small backswing (or none at all). Try to create a big backswing where your heel almost kicks your bum as you start descending towards the ball. 

#3 - Weak Foot Flex. The main reason your weak foot shots are not getting any power is because of the inability to flex your foot. If I ask most players to flex their foot as hard as they can on their weaker side, they can’t do it. They don’t have the strength in their foot because it hasn’t been practiced enough. Focus on keeping your foot, ankle, calve, and quad flexed as strongly as possible. Even after you make contact with the ball.
