Cut inside from a wide position and finish across the keeper into the far corner.
Cones to mark a wide starting lane; goal; 5-10 balls.
- Set up cones to simulate a defender on the wing
- Dribble toward goal at an angle
- Perform a cutback move to shift onto your stronger foot
- Shoot across the goalkeeper into the far corner
- Practice from both wings
- Sharp inside touch creates a clear shooting lane
- Plant foot points just inside the far post
- Inside-foot strike with curl — ball bends across goal
- Body stays over the ball at contact
- Cut is too soft — the defender stays in front of the shot
- Shooting at the near post instead of bending it far
- Heavy touch out of the cut, killing the shot rhythm
- Body falling away — ball flies wide
