Shooting on the run

Be sure that your last long stride into the ball when preparing to strike does not slow your movement through the ball. Often a player who takes this longer stride slows down as the foot is planted, which slows the body’s momentum through the ball and takes away some of the shot’s power.

Not only will maintaining your speed through the kicking action improve your shooting technique, but it will give you a better chance at scoring goals.
