Week 5 – Shooting

For this session we did shooting but it wasn’t shooting in the normal way as we did it in the form of passing which showed how accurate i was and if I could get the right amount of distance and power on the shot/pass.

First drill was shooting along the ground to our teammate from a certain range then we moved further out after a while. I think the positives to this was that I performed the shot to my teammate well as it got to him at a good height which was along the floor and at a good pace so that he could control it easily so it didn’t go outside of the zone we were passing in. I think the negatives to this was that sometimes i put too much power on the shot so it went under my teammates foot or through his legs so this is something I could work on for the future. The advantages to this was that I could do it well but can improve with my power which can be worked on in other training session. The threats are not always performing this move so I could forget the technique after a while and I could also hurt my quad again which came from over hitting/stretching.

The next drill was the same but I bit further away and it had to get off the ground and when you received the ball you had to control it well. The positives in this drill was that I was able to strike through the ball well with good technique and I was able to get it off the floor, to my teammate. I also felt confident while doing this move which enabled me to keep on doing it dm to a hood standard each time. The negatives could be that my technique wasn’t always the best as I often hurt the front of my foot while completing this and I also sometimes just used my own technique rather than striking through the balm cleanly. The advantages to this though are that I can improve my technique in future training sessions so I can strike through the ball better which would mean I could perform it in a game and I wouldn’t lose the balm as I would’ve performed it correctly. The threats are no focusing on this technique as I feel more confident doing other passes that probably do the same job.
