Weak foot ladder

Most players have half a kicking game. This drill is the other half.

What good looks like

  • The drop is the same on both feet
  • The standing foot still plants beside the ball
  • Toes stay pointed

The drill

  1. Start 10 meters from a target with your weak foot only.
  2. Five drop punts. Do not chase distance, chase a clean strike.
  3. Move back 5 meters. Five more.
  4. Stop the moment the strike gets sloppy rather than pushing through it.

Space

30m of grass, one ball, one cone.

Make it harder / make it easier

Harder. Alternate feet every rep so the weak foot has to work cold.

Easier. Drop only, no kick, until the ball falls the same way on both sides.

How to film it

Prop the phone side-on from the weak-foot side so the plant is visible. How to film a drill.
