The thundering sound of the ball when it whizzes past the goalkeeper and hits the net makes you joyous as a fan or spectator. But what really makes the ball, beat the flying goalkeeper seems like a mystery to many. A thrilling goal excites your senses, but there is considerable science and technique involved behind it. The game of soccer is nothing but science and it takes years of practice to master the art of soccer shooting.

The most important aspect about the game of soccer is to score a goal. Scoring a goal from any position or direction provides the players with a delirious feeling and they engage in wild celebrations with their teammates. A good marksman in soccer is known for his ability to score and finish a move with cynical touch. A precision finish which complements the training methodologies of a soccer manual has attained magical status. A player with an extraordinary ability to shoot and finish the task at hand remains as first choice for the coaches. In the world of international competitive soccer legends like Pele, Maradona, Eusebio, Garrincha and Ronaldo have won the hearts of millions of fans with their superb vision and impeccable ability to shoot. A cynical finish is surely a lensmans delight as it remains as the most coveted and glorious moment during any soccer game.

The article will explore the secret behind the magical skills of soccer shooting and delve into the nitti- gritties associated with it. If you aspire to be the perfect soccer shooter and be in the limelight at the end of every game then there are a few suggestions to assist you. You need to develop the ability of judgement to shoot like an expert. The timing of your shot is an imperative aspect of the whole process because an incorrect sense of timing will make you miss the target. If you are a fast mover, then you can take a sudden shot on goal as it might entirely puzzle the goalkeeper and leave him bemused. The defender might act as an advantage for you in this regard, if you can learn the technique of shielding him to block the vision of the goalkeeper.

There are two types of shooting methods, which you can master named short and long-range efforts. Always keep your non-kicking foot towards the direction of the goal post, so that the ball travels towards it. In case of long range efforts you have to bend a little low and hit the ball with the toe part of your feet. If you want to curve the ball to the right side, then hit with your out-step. Always keep your toes intact while shooting; otherwise you might end up with a weak and powerless effort.

But shooting is not all about power. A cool finish in soccer is appreciated by the fans who love to witness such everlasting moments of the game. A well-placed goal with a soft touch from the foot can be quite charming.

Swinging the ball is also an essential part of soccer shooting. You can swing the ball with the inside or outside part of your foot. You need to practice very hard in order to swing the ball with considerable momentum. One of the latest additions to the art of shooting is the toe poke. When there is just no room or space for you in front, you can toe poke the ball in. You can also scoop it with your toe if you are marked from all possible sides.

An article on soccer shooting remains incomplete without mentioning the skillset of shooting in the air. If you can learn the skills of bicycle kick, front volley, back volley and side volley then you will be hard to stop for any defender.

So pick up these secrets of soccer shooting and go all guns blazing to thump the ball time and again.
