Instructions

  1. 1Receive angled service from the byline while checking your shoulder before it arrives.
  2. 2Open your hips to the far post and side-foot the ball first time.
  3. 3Aim inside the far post, low and away from the keeper.
  4. 4Reset to the top of the box between reps.

What to focus on

Body orientation before the ball arrives so the finish is one clean motion.

Common mistake

Squaring up too early and telegraphing a shot straight at the keeper.
