Your shooting is amazing thanks for the tips 👍

[@7mlc]

I appreciate that mate. You are more than welcome 🤝

[@kevinsayce2248]

Best little pieces of advice I give to players are: 1) “See the shot, TAKE the shot” 2) If the ball is moving, imagine you are striking a second ball just in front of the actual ball ( by the time you actually strike THAT ball, the REAL ball will have travelled that exact distance) 3) As much as possible, land first with the same foot you strike the ball with. 4) Aim for EVERY strike to be on target, make the GK work Oh, and as usual Michael, love the video

[@TFGhunter]

Very good advices. Agree with all of them.

Excellent video as always. I am doing fairly well with first four types of techniques but still having a bit trouble to do knuckle ball consistently.

[@7mlc]

That’s great mate. Personally I rarely use the knuckleball in match situations, I much prefer using the other techniques because they are more consistent. It’s a interesting technique to learn but definitely not essential 🤜🤛

[@Vikram-ll4q]

You always did more than expected but i have a question can you please give some tips to stand out in a football trail to perform our best or something related to trail

[@flakers1337]

my guy wtf is trail

[@benriboj7061]

I think he meant trials @@flakers1337

[@hengjiuxiao]

stupid ass question

[@7mlc]

1. Play to your strengths. Show what you do best rather than trying to play in a way that’s not natural to you. 2. Want the ball, don’t shy away from receiving the ball out of fear of making mistakes. Low mistakes does not mean a good performance. Want the ball and show that you’re on the pitch to contribute. 3. Communicate. Not only for yourself but for your teammates. Man on, time, turn, solo, etc. 4. Focus on the next play. When you make a mistake, know that another opportunity to produce a moment of quality is coming, so stay ready. 5. Work hard, even if the trial is not going your way, showing you are always willing to give 100% no matter the circumstances will make a good impression. 6. Thank the coaches for the opportunity, and be confident knowing you have everything.

[@thy5442]

First time on this channel and this is litterally were i train/play, what are the odds

[@hayk_sevoyan]

Thanks vor the video❤ Mike my problem about shooting, is all about power. Would you recommend just trying to hit the ball as hard as i can, or focusing on the exact area on the ball, which one will add more power ? Unfortunately i can't do them both at the same time Thanks❤

[@7mlc]

Focus on a clean connection rather than swinging your leg as hard as possible. Proper contact with a large backswing are the two most important steps to produce power 🤝

[@gadygool4146]

Nice job 🤍🌹💪🏽

Directly behind you, as shown in the video. Similar to doing a quad stretch

[@lassejakobsen1198]

Even though I know you do a lot of collaboration with Unisport. However, it's still so strange to see the backdrop of this video. I've been here hundreds of times. Hope you've enjoyed your visit to Denmark, despite the freezing temperature. A relevant question though. I've seen a lot of tutorials say "get your body over the ball" - however, trying to do so, doesn't seem to do much for me, except making the kick more awkward for me. Do you have any tips/tricks on how to get more familiar and/or what the purpose is?

[@7mlc]

I absolutely love Copenhagen! I try to visit as often as I can and always have a great time. I’ve been enjoying the winter here, even adding winter bathing to my daily routine! Very cold, but feel amazing afterwards. Chest over the ball is mostly important only during the moment you make contact with the ball, and doesn’t need to be overemphasised too much. It’s more about bringing your torso to a more upright position, since you’ll naturally slightly lean back when lunging onto your planting foot. I think it really helps if you record yourself with your phone from the side, and when you strike it well, have a look at your body position, and then look again when you hit the shot off target to compare the differences.
