THE“ SECRETS” TO SCORING GOALS
THE“ SECRETS” TO SCORING GOALS
JOHN DEBENEDICTIS
In preparing this article to summarize my sessions at the California Youth Soccer Association show in Santa Clara, California, or at Soccer Expo in Montréal, or at the United Soccer Coaches Conventions on numerous occasions, I had a problem figuring out exactly what to write about. My session was titled,“ The Secrets to Scoring Goals.”
Well, as the title suggests, I can’ t tell you much more because if I do, the secrets to scoring goals would no longer be secret. I can tell you that knowing how to kick a ball properly when shooting is important, but my session was not about the ordinary. For information on that topic, you can pick up any number of great books on shooting. Good videos and DVDs also exist that clearly demonstrate how to kick a ball at the goal. You can also find a host of good books and DVDs that offer you a great assortment of shooting, crossing and finishing drills.
What I touched on in the lectures were truly secrets. They are geared toward players 14 years of age and older. Coaches who really paid attention to the details of what was said in my sessions will truly improve their team’ s goal scoring. Those who did not missed some of the secrets.
