Change-of-Pace Cut-Inside Far-Post Curler
Dribble slowly toward the first cone at a 45-degree angle to lull the defender, explosively cut the ball 90 degrees across to the inside, and bend the ball into the far corner with your hips angled away from goal.
Key points
- Approach the lead cone slowly to bait the defender before changing gears explosively
- Cut the ball at a sharp 90-degree angle so your hips remain oriented across the pitch rather than facing the net
- Wrap the inside of your foot around the ball to generate maximum whip and bend into the far upper corner
Common mistakes
Cutting diagonally toward the goal with hips square to the net, which prevents curling the ball around the goalkeeper.
