Watch NowKey takeaways for this lesson:
- the finishing follow through goes as follows: decide for the finish --> get the ball on the correct foot and get your angle --> do a final setup touch --> power up
- following these steps correctly will give you the highest quality finish
- stay calm inside the box and don't mix these steps up by powering up too early for example. Staying cool will be rewarded!
Training steps
- head into skill games and practice the following scenarios in the shooting section: shooting line, dribble shot, fast shots
- focus on three different finishing setups: driven shot far post, driven shot near post, finesse shot far post (of course you expand to more niche finishes as you progress)
- start out simple by going for your setup touch in the easiest possible way and then move on to harder finishing variations, setting up your finish with a ball roll etc.
