Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Execute the final cut and shot with high intensity, aiming to hit the far corner of the net every time.
Setup
Create a 2x2 yard cone grid (representing a defender) at the top corner of the penalty box. Start with the ball 5 yards away from the grid.
Drill Instructions
1. Dribble slowly toward the grid using small inside-of-the-foot touches. 2. As you reach the cones, use the outside of your foot to fake a move inside. 3. Quickly perform a sharp cut toward the goal line. 4. Immediately use the outside of the same foot to explode back toward the center of the field completing a Z pattern. 5. Strike the ball toward the far post on your very next touch.
Coach Tip
Exaggerate the first move to 'sell' the fake and get the imaginary defender to shift their weight.
Avoid
Taking too many setup touches after the final cut; the shot should be immediate and explosive.
