nah mate, you can watch all the videos that you want, but at the end of the day only you are able to put in the work to make yourself better, so that most improved is all you. great work
Guys I learned this shooting technique in lesser then a week believe it or not I did it I haven’t played soccer for 4 years and now I’m recovered and trained 90 min everyday until I learned it so excited ❤
Michael, Learning to shoot well on your own may well be one of the hardest solo practices that you can attempt. I’ve always tried to create little ‘scenarios’ for players to try on their own. Things like “Always try to land on your striking foot after the shot” or “Combinations of touches before the shot etc” In matches I’ve also given players certain things to think about when shooting. 1) First Half, aim for the left hand side of the goal, Second Half, aim for the right side of the goal. 2) If possible, when the ball goes wide, try NOT to be ahead of the ball, keep moving but time your run to meet the cross etc. Solo training can be hard especially when you can’t receive a pass like you would in a match. For Technique, I’ve always liked the idea of 1v1 challenges etc. One idea is to pair players up - each passes to the other alternately while the receiver takes a maximum of 3 touches then shoot. The difference is, is that each player has to aim for the other’s training top which is tied to one corner crossbar and post angle. If the player shoots into the goal without hitting their partners training top, then they get one point. If they hit the training top and it goes into the goal = 4 points. The first to get to 12 pts wins. Just by adding the fact that their tops end up getting so much dirt on it that everyone knows who was the more accurate, the challenge becomes full of ‘match kind ‘ of pressure. Michael, I have a question for you… Would it be possible to create a facility where subscribers could share videos that they have created that showcase their personal attempts at the skills they’ve seen in your videos. You could even guide them by what they do right or not so good I feel it could attract even more subscribers. Just a thought Kevin
Thank you sir, I'll try my best again, over years my shooting balance and accuracy were improving but power in my shot were lacking so much. Maybe ill hope that i will make it after watching this.
You're an absolute legend brother, i just want to ask you brother that im too skinny and i am not able to generate power in my shooting, what should i do first gain some weight or should try to be more technically precise?? Waiting for you reply.
Love your vids! do you think you could make a video on training drills (shooting,dribbling,control etc) for people who cant go to football pitches? (drills you can do at home)
Nothing changes in the technique from beginner to pro mate, the difference is usually in the consistency of the shot, which comes with practice. Professionally have repeated the action many times over many years, so the technique becomes fluid and repeatable 👍
Thank you very much for the video instructions. My boy watches and learns from you. Please can you mention using left and right legs on hard kick exercises. 🍀🇮🇪🙏👋💯👍
Hey 7mlc, Im 14 years old and I wanted to know what is the best order of preference in a day, weights/strengthening, ball control, stretching, and plyometrics. So mainly apart from team training what of these things should I prioritize at my age. Thank you!
Bar-none best soccer technique instruction on UA-cam! Question: has your follow-through technique evolved to more of a hop and less of a lunge onto the kicking foot? These shots look a little like CR7 / KDB technique.
Thank you so much! So the run up I typically perform on my toes, but the final step is the important one to lunge into. With a knuckleball, it’s the step right before the lunge that’s more of a hop 🤝
When i take free kicks some are good but mostly inconsistent? sometimes it floats in the air for to long for to long or it will just go over, i use the curler technique like you (whippage), any things that u think are causing this? hitting under the ball to much? any help would be great ty
I really like the football theory, Michael is teaching great lessons on the why’s. The intro on, not only power, but also finishing is a great example. Seems obvious but if you haven’t heard it before it makes a lot of sense, and even still you see people shooting in the box aiming for power over precision. These are gems 💎
Brother pls do a tutorial on *"Sliding Finish".* Many times it happens to me that the ball is too far to reach in order to finish it in the net when a teammate performs a low driven cross or a cutback that is a little bit too far to shoot.
I've seen players who can shoot very hard. They have too much power it's like when they shoot the ball looks like it teleported to net. It's like a real bullet speed. How do I bring that power in my shot?
Leg swing is a massive factor when it comes to shooting the ball with maximum power. The further you bring you foot back the more power you can generate.
They’re decent to be fair (for a laceless boot). I’ll still always prefer laces for a customisable fit especially for matches, but a nice boot for sure, and if you enjoy laceless boots, this is one of the best out there 👍
By locking your ankle do you mean pulling your toe fully down or pointing our toes down a little bit but flexing the muscles around it? Because when i stretch me foot fully down i hit the ground and it is uncomfortable.
Im considering of buying these pred LL over the laced ones but my only concern is about lockdown, If you had to give a vote to the lockdown of these and that of the vapor 15 (wich is my current boot) what would it be?
I hate to break it to you, Michael. I have been through so much efforts to get into trials, camps and teams for past half a decade and looking at my current work rate, it asks for more and I'm not even able to come up with 1% of the work I used to put in. All I do is watch Pro matches. Nothing else. Not able to train properly, till nothing worked ideally. TBH. And here I'm 21 years old, believed to be pro footballer in few years time playing at local level at least. But my dreams have been shattered. The age gap for a foundation is closed for me. Even if I know about football. I just can only play recreational. I wanted to go pro, did things all I could do in these years failed a trial and it's too late for another. They won't take lany chance with people like me anymore. I guess I have failed you, mate. I have always watched your videos trying to improve footwork, technical sessions, 1-2s. It's not just you. Even the likes of Matt Sheldon, Eric Friedlander and many more. No one is supporting even my own mom. And they want me to push to get q job and settle down and quit playing. But fact is that I never ignored football when it came to me. I got injured many times but I kept going believing I would crack it out somehow before 20 but no. I'm sorry, mate. I have failed you, Sir. You have been such a wonderful part of my life virtually. I wanted to meet you in real time in future to say thanks after I have become pro footballer. But at this point, it's only football that can give me a second chance. I don't think I'm worth it. I gave it only so much. I can't believe I have been reduced to such level. Millions of apology.
Sounds like you are putting the responsibility in other places than yourself mate. The only person you can “fail” is yourself. The only person that needs to “support” you, is yourself. The only person that gives you a “second chance” at pursuing your dream, is yourself. Get back on the horse mate 👍
@@7mlcif you know about the country I live in, it's India. And youth foundation leagues came up when I was past 19. So, my chance went up for a toss. The fact that I have no more deserving at all. Like I have failed football as well. Including my generation of players, we lost Six Generations of Players. We really don't have a defined plan at all. I thought if entering into college and get possible University call but my final year is over. Here in India, what I learned is the meritocratic system. It doesn't allow one to follow dream. Here, responsibility>dream. I'm still acting a fool so that I can get to know everything better. Now I don't even have a space to train properly. All I can work is on footwork and 1v1s. No shooting, crossing and it's not an individual sport where it just depends on one. We have to help the team, play for them. I'm more of a silent person who has quite an aversive nature sometimes but I know to control but mostly remain silent. Football is not played like that. And my physicality for football is dropping gradually. I'm not a flair player either. I avoid physical battles and 1v1s. Get into a shooting position, link up plays. The last I played football was 6 months ago. On the playground not any league. Mom's support has been the reason why I am still here. If she does not support, it's okay but losing the only support and hearing all critics. My father used to be a GK. But when I say about football he is contemptuous. None can live in such a society. I beg your pardon, mate. It's not excuse. It's a fact. Even if I put in the work, it will go vain. And football is not something that I let go in vain.
@@7mlcbefore I came to football, I played cricket. I always wanted to represent my country through sports. Cricket was my love back then. Now both of them doesn't make any difference going pro. No one wants a player who is not young like 21 or 23. And I can't go to other countries cuz of visa rejection to play football. If I ever deserve a second shot at any of the two, I believe it will provide. I'm ready for it anytime. But sooner the better. That second shot will be more than I will owe to my redemption.

Michael,
Learning to shoot well on your own may well be one of the hardest solo practices that you can attempt.
I’ve always tried to create little ‘scenarios’ for players to try on their own.
Things like “Always try to land on your striking foot after the shot” or “Combinations of touches before the shot etc”
In matches I’ve also given players certain things to think about when shooting.
1) First Half, aim for the left hand side of the goal, Second Half, aim for the right side of the goal.
2) If possible, when the ball goes wide, try NOT to be ahead of the ball, keep moving but time your run to meet the cross etc.
Solo training can be hard especially when you can’t receive a pass like you would in a match.
For Technique, I’ve always liked the idea of 1v1 challenges etc.
One idea is to pair players up - each passes to the other alternately while the receiver takes a maximum of 3 touches then shoot.
The difference is, is that each player has to aim for the other’s training top which is tied to one corner crossbar and post angle.
If the player shoots into the goal without hitting their partners training top, then they get one point.
If they hit the training top and it goes into the goal = 4 points.
The first to get to 12 pts wins.
Just by adding the fact that their tops end up getting so much dirt on it that everyone knows who was the more accurate, the challenge becomes full of ‘match kind ‘ of pressure.
Michael, I have a question for you…
Would it be possible to create a facility where subscribers could share videos that they have created that showcase their personal attempts at the skills they’ve seen in your videos. You could even guide them by what they do right or not so good
I feel it could attract even more subscribers.
Just a thought

Many times it happens to me that the ball is too far to reach in order to finish it in the net when a teammate performs a low driven cross or a cutback that is a little bit too far to shoot.
Just gotta try to get there mate, there’s no secret technique, sometimes the ball will just be out of reach.
I've seen players who can shoot very hard. They have too much power it's like when they shoot the ball looks like it teleported to net. It's like a real bullet speed. How do I bring that power in my shot?
Proper technique and practice makes perfect
Leg swing is a massive factor when it comes to shooting the ball with maximum power. The further you bring you foot back the more power you can generate.
As mentioned in the video mate, lots of repetition will get you there 👍
Also look up leg muscle exercises.
How you liking those new laceless preds?

Hey Mike, do you think that strong ligaments, are also n important factor for shooting power ?
