    Tips for soccer
    I'm an aspiring pro soccer player. But two things I need help to improve on is my left foot and being confident with my left foot. Then also developing quick feet like Cristiano Ronaldo.
    How can I acquire my weaker foot skill and quicker feet like him?

    Begin by wearing your soccer shoe/boot on the left foot and a soft running shoe on your stronger right foot. Then slow down your drills to ensure that you force yourself to control and kick the ball with the protected left foot. You will have to adjust your body balance of course but in time you will increase your confidence about what you can do with the left foot. This leads to greater skill and speed.
    Once you have this then you can add the drills to increase overall speed and ball skills. But one step at a time.

    Well you can not do what was sugested above, but what you can do is start by kicking with your left foot passingthe ball to the wall once you have that down,move onto shooting at a net. Then once your comfterbal doing that you can do drills to improve speed I used this methed and now I have an amazing left foot and right I play defence so being able to use both feet comes in handy. Give it a try! Good luck.

    I am a trainer and when I work the weaker foot of my aspiring professionals, I start them by striking a ball off a low-rise cone so there is no ground friction and they hit the ball clean from a starting position. Then I have them run up to the ball and strike off the low rise cone. After that, start to bounce the ball to the weaker foot. Then I roll it to the weaker foot. Works every time.
