Myth: "The ball striker must JUMP through the ball toward the target and land on the KICKING FOOT in front of the ball for the most powerful and accurate ball striking to occur."
1. The ball striker should lean their body to the side and slightly back. the KICKING FOOT will be the first foot to come in contact with the ground after kicking the ball; however, the player will not jump through and land in front of the ball.
2. In fact only the non-kicking foot will go in front of the ball. A ball striker with good technique, will 'End Up Where They Started' and not in front of the ball. Observe the starting and finishing positions of the ball striker.
