Improving your weak foot as a footballer can be a long arduous road. It can also be incredibly rewarding one. In this episode we take a look at the fine line between what it takes to progress the weak side, and what common traits holds players back.
I hope you enjoy!

I haven't yet unlocked my "strong foot".
I've realised my dribbling on my weak foot isn't the best and had some idea of what the problem was but this video opened my eyed to it. My shooting on my weak foot isn't the best but does the job tho
hey a little tip that worked for me: some reason i would just random do small taps between my left foot and right foot while walking, and over time i developed it and suddenly after a while i noticed a difference in my skills with my weak foot and turned it into a monster (well only a bit for passing but rubbish at finishing with it)
Thank's for the tip's before this i was playing with just my left leg doing some kick up's and i noticed after i was more versatile with where ever ball goes gonna try this tommorow
Where can I get the goal post from?
Both of my feet are just natural to me. Is that weird?
Mine Is already unlocked
i can pass and dribble with my weak foot, and sometimes cross too but my shot is what i struggle with
i did this once and it kinda helped me u just need to do it more and i wont have a weak foot
If I or anyone else become pro please help this man to get coach contact.
Mine locked behind a dlc
I cant even do 1 set of the drill 😢
I play football for 11 years now(im 15) and when i was Little my dad Always told me to use my weak foot and i didnt have any problem with that cuz It was fantastic like i was really talented at young age,now i can use both feet to do skill and shoot like CR7 or dribble like messi
I have one friend who has 2 weak foots, what to do?
all i got to say is whats a weak foot because i surely dont have one
do i hop when conditioning using my weak foot or storng foot?
yo i got those same cleats
Every drill, every practice I've worked on my weak foot since I was 9 years old… it is a STRONG foot.
I unlocked my weak foot since I'm 10
the fact that I knew this because my left calf is SIGNIFICALLY bigger than my right one
Learning to plant your other foot is just as important as learning to kick with your weak foot. Practice over and over . Something that I found great was just standing 2 metres from a wall hit the wall using your weak foot control the rebound and repeat. Above all Practice Practice Practice.
My strong foot is the left foot. I shoot and pass with my left but run with the ball using my right. I'm wondering if this is common and how many of you use your weak foot to run with the ball.
if the peoples weak foot is that bad in the intro im grateful for mine😂
yo thanks a lot this really helped me and these tips already helped me a lot with my weak foot
Crazy how learning this has actually helped my strong foot! Bananas!
As someone who played an entire season as an 8 year old with his weak foot as a challenge with a friend, improved on that later on and now is considered to be completely two-footed up to the decision which foot to take for a penalty, I can add some (even disappointing) insights:
1) In a right-foot-dominated football world, you will be seen as a left-footed, because you will play more often on those position ("you play on the right, so you can cut in and shoot" or "we need crosses, now you play Leftback" or "our corners should be inswings, so you take them from the right" e.g.)
2) The main advantage is in tight spaces, where you basically skip a step. Of course this means you are better at dribbling, but not on high pace dribbling.
3) In defending it comes in handy, if you can slide with both sides and block shots with both feet. So it's not just on the ball.
4) Playing on the wing is also especially fun, when the defender does not know if you go along the side and cross, cut in and cross or cut in and shoot/pass back. You can see this in a player like Joao Cancelo. Although he is right-footed he is very hard to predict, when he has the ball near the box.
5) You can trick the opponents at a freekick when you imitate a run-up to the ball with one foot and shoot with the other. I'm not a good freekick taker (see 6), but scored multiple times doing this, when the keeper just placed the wall completely wrong. Make sure to let your team mates know, if you cross a freekick and if you shoot, stand there alone!
6) Consider that you will lack depth in your development when you are young. I experienced hard drawbacks, when other kids could kick 40m with their right and 10m with their left, while I could do 20m with both, which is not appreciated that much.
So, in conclusion, today it helps out a lot being totally balanced and it adds a welcoming flexibility, but if you aim for the highest skill and performance on your position, a different distribution than 50/50 between the feet should work way better.
And I was wondering why when I started going to the gym my weak foot was stronger
really helpful, i feel like ur the only football youtuber who makes practical training videos.
yeah but how do i get good with my strong foot😭
the greatest training equipment is a big heavy stick
calvin and hobbes would be proud
2:30 jump on strong foot across line 30secs x 3
2:37 do the same but with weak foot tap the ball 7×3
2:40 with weak foot shift the ball forward and backwards
2:43 with weak foot shift the ball side to side
4:00 Pass with weak foot ensuring that strong foot is no more than a foot away to the side of the ball 5×3
I have two weak foots😂
im learning kick box and this video really helps me:D thanks a lot.
Meaningless video
love your vids
Should I just do all my training with my left leg
I can do everything with both feet except shooting with the left
I can score with it but after 20 yards i cant finish shit with it maybe if i am lucky
The example people in this video need to watch this video
Thank u for the video Patrick Bamford, I always rooted for u at Leeds. Jk…I do really appreciate the video tho
متنتمنمتخ
I asked God for a sign and i think i got my answer
when I was training to use my weak foot I used to play matches using only my left foot for the entire game after wall workouts and real games with my left foot now I don't care where the ball is left or right are the same it requires only to get as much touches as you can it works!!
You are SEVERELY underrated. Love your videos, man!
I have this little club I go to on weekends and we do 4v4 matches from time to time, using these tips I had an AMAZING match yesterday!
Thanks!
Yo love the video, this will really help me
Also I got the same boots as you
Damn this works
I used to ambidextrous with a preference for dribbling with my left foot, but after I stopped playing for 5 years, my left foot just kinda disappeared. But I’m trying to get back to it so this is great ❤
those youth football bloopers gave me PTSD
is he griezmann
I am a lefty 10 years old and I am so happy with the results of just doing this for 10 MINUTES!!!!!
I came here bc I watched another weak foot video that said to watch this
