Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Score with a clean strike at the far post after successfully selling the fake and maintaining balance.
Setup
Place a 2x2 yard cone box near the corner of the penalty area. Stand with the ball 5 yards behind the box.
Drill Instructions
1. Dribble toward the cone grid using small, controlled touches with the inside of your foot. 2. As you reach the cones, use the outside of your foot to push the ball slightly toward the middle. 3. Immediately perform a heavy shot fake (big arm swing) and cut the ball back toward the goal line. 4. Chase the ball and strike it toward the far post with your very next touch.
Coach Tip
Sell the shot with your whole body—look at the goal and swing your arms as if you are about to blast the ball.
Avoid
Taking too many touches after the fake; the finish must be quick before the 'defender' recovers.
