I finally did it! My name is Andre Botelho and I'm the president of SoccerDrillsTips.com.

Well, you asked... and I did it! This is my new blog were I'll be sharing ideas and tips on how to improve soccer skills and make training more fun and interesting for soccer coaches, parents and players.

Let's start from the basics... how to kick a soccer ball properly. Here are two things that a soccer coach must teach his players – accuracy and power.

It is a wrong assumption that good placement depends solely on striking a precise part of the ball. The truth is other way around. In fact, the more important thing for the players is to drive their kicking foot in the direction of their target. When teaching how to kick a soccer ball, power is another important element that can make a huge difference. Do not have the players try to swing harder in order to generate more power. If they do so, they are very much likely to lose control or risk injury.
