



Measure the wind.
Frontal or head wind: front lean.
Rear wind: tilted towards the holder.
The laces should be pointed away from you.



Take 3 steps back from the holder.
Eyes on your target.
Look down at your feet and take 2 steps to the
opposite side, depending on if you’re a right
footed or left footed.



Again, focus on your target and once ready, give
your holder the “ok.”
Once the ball is snapped, start your approach.
Jab step, front step, plant step, swing, and kick!



Upon striking the ball, lock your ankle and strike
with the top of your foot.
Eyes and head down and hop on your planted
foot.
Once your kicking foot hits the ground, lift your
head and watch the ball.
