BRISBANE LIONS OPPOSITE FOOT KICK
MY TAKENo super-sonic tactic used here and something I've covered in these insights before - having the opposite foot kick in your kicking tool kit.
As you can see here the ball drop isn't pretty and the kick isn't pretty but it does the give the receiver who is also under immediate pressure, a good chance to play the ball to their advantage.
The most overlooked part of this I beleive, is not being able to perform the action of kicking on your opposite foot but for it to be an automatic in your brain so that you don't prescious time thinking I've got to get this ball to there and trying to do it on your preferred foot then relaising you can't actually do it on your preferred foot and then having to switch your stance, ball grip and ball drop to your opposite foot - in which time you'll be under too much physical pressure to get the kick away.
I suggest coaches stronly encourage oppsosite foot kicks in game simulated play when they are really needed, because that's when you'll use them in games.
I'd orgainise whatever scoring system I'm using to include opposite foot kicks when under pressure if that player is the best option at that time.
And lastly, at times "do not use the ball hits the ground turnover" rule to allow for grubby opposite foot kicks that are used to simply get the ball from point A to somewhere close to point B.
