Step One: Approach the ball at a slight angle. Place your non-kicking foot along side the ball, not too close
that it will prevent the natural swinging motion of the kicking leg. The ankle of the kicking foot must be firm.
Use a slight drawback of the kicking foot.
Step Two: Strike the ball with the inside of the kicking foot through the horizontal mid-line of the ball. The head should be kept steady and eye's fixed firmly on the ball. The head weighs approximately 10 pounds, so any unnecessary tilting of the head will affect the whole balance of the body.
Step Three: The follow through is in the direction of the intended target.
