Shooting Techniques in Football

Overview

• Tutorial on various shooting techniques
• Presented in slow motion
• Techniques covered: PO shot, curve shot, Trava, knuckleball, and swerve

The Power Shot

• Essential for long-range shots
• Steps:
  • Line up at a slight angle to your target
  • Place your plant foot a little in front of the ball
  • Use the top of your foot to strike through the center of the ball
  • Lean your upper body to the side to prevent your toe from hitting the ground

The Knuckleball

• Moves unpredictably, making it hard for goalkeepers to anticipate
• Steps:
  • Run up at a slightly straighter angle than for a power shot
  • Plant foot next to the ball
  • Strike just under the center of the ball
  • Stop follow-through immediately to reduce spin
• Key Tips:
  • Less follow-through = less spin = more movement in the air
  • Personal tip: Plant foot slightly farther back

The Curve Shot

• Spins the ball to curve in the air
• Steps:
  • Line up at a sharper angle than for a knuckleball or power shot
  • Plant foot next to the ball
  • Use the inside of your foot and laces to strike upward along the back of the ball

The Trava

• Another way to curve the ball using the outside of the foot
• Steps:
  • Line up with body slightly away from target
  • Plant foot a bit behind the ball
  • Use the top outside part of the foot to strike along the side of the ball
• Notes:
  • Harder to get power compared to the traditional curve
  • Useful for quick hits when the ball is on the outside of your foot

The Swerve

• For harder shots with outside curve
• Steps:
  • Face slightly away from target
  • Plant foot in front of the ball
  • Use the top of your foot to strike across the back of the ball

• Mastering these techniques can significantly improve your shooting skills
