One-footed players

[Deleted member 14625]

I find it ridiculous that players don't make themselves the best they can possibly be.

If I were a professional sportsman I know for sure that I'd make myself the absolute best I could. I'd train on my strength, speed, power, flexibility, core stability, VO2 Max, anaerobic threshold and certainly bilateral integration (using both sides if the body effectively). Plus psychologically too.

Humans are naturally dominant on one side of the body because that's how the brain likes to work but you can train either side to be the optimal they can be and as good as each other. It's as simple as training for strength, it just takes regular goal-set sessions over a period of time.

To be two footed in football is a massive positive. The advantages are huge.

Anyone who doesn't bother with their passive side is just lazy.

He will never dribble with his right foot though, very very rare if you see it.

Most players will shoot with their weaker foots in certain situations, Messi would not of got that goal if he shot with his left from that position in that video.

Messi is 95% left foot.

I find it amazing you can play football every day of your life without teaching yourself how to use your wrong foot

This fella is so one footed, he could have made the paralympic team...

And don't forget Kiki Musampa. He'd turn circles to get back on his left.

Is it always left-footers? Can't think of any right footers who would rotate to get back on their good foot.

Peter Beagre? Is that a joke. When he cut in on his right foot he had one hell of a shot on him. Could cross with both feet too.
