1 Touch Shooting – Beginners Guide | Blueprint Instruction Phase 2, Step 10

In this video, Coach Mike breaks down 1 Touch Shooting from multiple real-game angles — when the ball is coming toward you, rolling away from you, or arriving from the side. These three situations make up almost every finishing moment young players face in the box.

Using a simple but extremely effective progression, Coach Mike teaches players how to build confidence in striking the ball first time, improving timing, balance, technique, and composure in front of goal.

At the end of the session, we add a bonus finisher drill called “The Poacher,” designed to help kids develop the instinct to pounce on loose balls inside the box. Players learn how to locate the ball quickly, attack it aggressively, and finish with composure under pressure.

Whether you're a coach, parent, or player, this Blueprint Instruction (Phase 2, Step 10) will transform how your athletes finish inside the box.
