Shooting
One of the best, if not the greatest feelings in soccer, is the feeling you experience immediately after scoring a goal.
Young players should train and practice towards achieving that fabulous feeling.
Everyone enjoys shooting on goal. Shooting is great fun.
However, analysis reveals that a high percentage of shooting opportunities are not even taken. This is because many young players are afraid of missing because of what their coaches, parents or teammates will say if they mess up.
Don't you be afraid to miss, shoot whenever you get the opportunity.
Be confident & have a positive attitude towards shooting, even the world's top goal scorers miss shots. In fact, on average, only 1 goal is scored in every 7 shots taken.
One thing's for certain. if you don't shoot you won't score from a shot.
If you do miss, don't dwell on it. Think quickly about what went wrong with your technique and then think determination rather than disappointment. Word hard to create your next chance and shoot again and again. One goal will more than make up for all your misses.
In a game if your team gets 10 shots on target they have an 86% chance of winning that game.
It is really important for you to concentrate on learning and practicing what good shooting
technique is and to understand how it will make you a better goal scorer.
The fun of scoring goals will be worth all the time you spend practicing.
