The kick is usually intended to be straight, high above the ground, with power and with a slight backspin.<\/p>\n<p>Overview:<br \/>\n1. Approach the ball at a 45 degree angle<br \/>\n2. Plant your foot as you normally would, pointed at your target<br \/>\n3. Turn your knee slightly out and lean back as you strike through<br \/>\n4. Make contact with the toe\/bottom of the laces on your foot.<br \/>\n5. Strike the ball so that there is a little backspin and it flies straight through the air<br \/>\n6. Follow through and do not land on your kicking foot.<\/p>\n<p>Training Programs: http:\/\/www.become-elite.com\/programs.html<\/p>\n<p>Email me: becomeelitesoccer@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW ME!<br \/>\nFollow Me on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattsheldon23\/<br \/>\nFollow Become Elite on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/become_elite\/?hl=en<\/p>\n<p>AGAINST ALL ODDS PODCAST!<br \/>\nYouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4SE6c97Qjscv4lfjaCMkMQ<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/against_all_odds_podcast\/?hl=en<\/p>\n<p>FOLLOW MIMI:<br \/>\nYouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/mimiestelle<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mimidugger\/?hl=en<\/p>\n<p>About Me<br \/>\nName: Matt Sheldon<br \/>\nAge: 26<br \/>\nNationality: USA<br \/>\nJob: Professional Soccer Player<br \/>\nCurrent Team: Free Agent<br \/>\nLast Team: Waterside Karori AFC (New Zealand)<br \/>\nPrevious Team: Saint Louis FC<br \/>\nPosition: RB\/LB\/RM<br \/>\nCollege: UC Davis<\/p>\n<p>My Favorite Gear\/Equipment\/Apparel:<br \/>\nGym Camera: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Qi501r<br \/>\nMain Camera: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IuGyHG<br \/>\nMain Lens: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IqpxOR<br \/>\nVlogging Microphone: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2y9F6pt<br \/>\nBendy Tripod: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IsPsoM<br \/>\nMain Tripod: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IoZibj<br \/>\nCamera Bag: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QiCQ6q<br \/>\nPodcast Microphone: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DFmFyT<br \/>\nCamera Lights: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OX7G4k<br \/>\nDrone: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IqTcHn<br \/>\nLaptop: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Qkp82T<br \/>\nFavorite Soccer Ball: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QeFDxw<br \/>\nSecond Favorite Soccer Ball: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OZlKub<br \/>\nFavorite Cleats: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DI6JMa<br \/>\nFavorite Gym Shoes: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IpUd2G<br \/>\nCones: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IrkQ7l<br \/>\nBest Passing Rebounder: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OZcUN4<br \/>\nSpeed Parachute: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IpLWvz<br \/>\nMini Bands: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Qk0HCV<br \/>\nSpiky Foam Roller: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2IrlP7x<br \/>\nFoam Roller: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OYWR1Q<br \/>\nMassage Therapy Gun: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OZcRkm<br \/>\nCompression Gear: https:\/\/www.pacterraathletics.com\/<br \/>\nFavorite Soccer Pants: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DE3m8Q<br \/>\nFavorite Training Top: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2y0SbBn<br \/>\nTrusox: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OklmJI<br \/>\nGym Headphones: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2QeGYo2<br \/>\nEditing Headphones: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2DHw1dm<br \/>\nEditing Software: https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OkLjZx<\/p>\n<p>As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially we are following Matt Sheldon&#8217;s daily schedule.
