In this instructional release designed to help young soccer players pass and shoot with greater accuracy, Nike Youth Coach of the Year Dan Metcalfe offers insight on the physics of ball flight and proper leg swing. When young players learn the proper kicking technique they can develop their own individual style, and the option to practice along with advanced techniques ensures that the knowledge will stick with them. Lessons in foot contact and leg-swing and their affect on ball control let youngsters truly take ownership over their style, and information on the basic push pass, advanced side volley, chipping, and dynamic swerving give young players all the tolls needed to plan a successful shooting sequence.

I give this DVD a 5 rating just for the striking lessons and videos. I have used this video with multiple teams and players and I have always seen dramatic improvements in their a bilty to strike the ball with power. I use the drills in the video and let each player take home the DVD to watch. The players that truly watch the video then understand what really needs to happen to put power on the ball.   

Bought this with "Championship Soccer Drills" (highly recommended) and this video is good when you have players still learning ball control (though they do get into some "fake out" techniques). Good for rainy day practices in the gym as they do a lot of example in the living room.
