6 Steps to a More Powerful Soccer Shot
A funny thing happens when we place a soccer ball in front of a goal. Something in our mind seems to snap, and we try to strike the ball as hard as we can.
Most of us, however, don't realize this actually slows down the soccer ball's speed.
Kicking at 100 percent force often causes us to tense up many of the muscles involved in the full multifunction process of the motion. Think of this as a "whipping" motion. Staying slightly loose during the kick allows our foot to be at the end of an accelerating chain of events. Tighten up any of those events, and you slow it down.
These key points will help to develop a stronger, longer and faster soccer kick.

Allow your entire body to go limp. Shake it out. Let your head, neck, legs and every part of your body relax. The only part of your body that should have tension is your ankle.
