Here's a link to a tutorial from Jared Montz, a former pro soccer player in the MLS.

How to Shoot a Soccer Bal with Power

Basic Key Points:

1. Ankle Locked, toe down, use laces (you don't hit a baseball with a loose bat)
2. Plant foot pointed at target
3. Land on Kicking Foot (you do this to help generate power and help keep the ball low)

Advanced Key Points:

1. Generate power from thigh, not calf
2. Shoulders face target (don't rotate them)
3. Keep head down (some of the best goals you will score you barely see them go in)

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong:

If you fee like you are not getting enough power it's mainly because you are not getting your thigh back and your knee down is just moving. Make sure you get your thigh back.

It's about 5 minutes long and he goes into details. It is more targeted towards younger players, so he can be quite cheesy at times.

To find the sweet spot, touch your top of your foot, towards the inside. There should be a very strong bone there. That is your sweet spot. Using the sweet spot means there is less energy loss when your strike the ball since less of it is absorbed/cushioned.

Here's another video talking about the Sledgehammer (Shooting with power).

A few key points he points out are:

• It's not about the strength of your legs, it's the technique

• Distance is not important for the run-up, but what is important is to be slightly off-set.

• Use the sweet spot or the laces.

• Hit the ball in the central area

• You need to follow-through the ball.

They then show good and bad examples of each shots.

From this point on, hit the field and keep practicing. It's all about the techniques.
