How to do it

1. 1Pick a spot in the goal before you shoot, usually a corner.
2. 2Plant your standing foot beside the ball, pointing at the target.
3. 3Strike the middle of the ball with your laces, toes pointed down.
4. 4Lean slightly over the ball and follow through.

Practice checklist

Tick off each drill when you finish it. 0/3 done

• Shoot at a target (like a cone) in each corner of the goal.
• Take 10 shots from a still ball, then 10 after a short dribble.
• Practise low shots first, then add power.

Common mistakes

• Leaning back, which sends the ball over the goal.
• Not looking at the target before shooting.
• Striking with the toe instead of the laces.
