Goalkeeper punts:
As a goalkeeper, a vital part of our gameplay is the ability to punt/ side volley a ball to another player. Every coach I’ve played for has put emphasis on the importance of this task. When you have to punt anywhere from 3 to 30 times a game, it can become extremely deteriorating. Perfecting these punts takes a lot of practice, but most importantly finesse.
Watch closely where my plant foot lands, it’s far in front of me so I can swing completely through the ball. It almost looks like I turn sideways for the kick, this creates mechanical advantage in the swing. Imagine my foot like a hockey stick. The better the connection on the ball is, the more power I generate.
