Challenge:
1. The non-kicking (plant) foot for consistent ball striking, regardless of it being a lofted pass, or a low driven pass or shot is planted in front of the ball.
2. The back of the non-kicking foot's heel should at least be in line with the center of the ball. If a player plants their non-kicking foot with the heel even further forward relative to the ball, they will achieve greater power and accuracy.
"Heel to the center of the ball."
3. This "Power Position" is behind the heel. The non-kicking foot should consistently be placed in front of the ball.
4. When the kicking foot passes this "Power Position" during the kicking motion, the foot begins to decelerate.
5. If a ball striker plants their non-kicking foot behind the ball, they will be striking the ball with a foot that is slowing down.
