Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to shoot?

It depends on the situation. Placement beats power in most cases. Use the inside of your foot for accuracy, laces for power, and outside of the foot for disguise. Practice all techniques so you have options.

How do I improve my composure when one-on-one with the keeper?

Practice it repeatedly in training. Focus on the technique, not the outcome. Pick your spot early, stay calm, and commit to the finish. Composure comes from confidence, and confidence comes from repetition.

Should I always shoot when I get the chance?

Not always. Assess the situation: Is there a better-placed teammate? Is the angle too tight? Is the goalkeeper positioned well? Shooting is important, but smart decision-making creates more goals.

How can I score more goals as a striker?

Get into goal-scoring positions more often. Anticipate rebounds, make runs across defenders, and attack the six-yard box. Finishing is important, but movement and positioning create chances.
