Video Transcript: "GUILLERMO GOMEZ: "Hi, my name is Guillermo Gomez, I coach soccer. Today, I'll be talking to you about how to shoot a soccer ball. So, first of all you want to concentrate on your body mechanics that is very important. You want to point your toes down and lock your ankle, that's very important. Then you have your supporting leg which comes right next to the ball. As you approach the ball you want to actually fix your eye on the spot, normally on a spot, on the ball. Normally that's through the middle of the ball, so it would be the the equator line. OK, and then as you come forward your kicking leg, your knee comes over the ball that will give it some power, and you move your upper body forward. OK, finally, OK, so you have your supporting foot, you're looking at the ball when you're kicking it, knee over the ball, kick the ball on with this motion. And that's how you kick a soccer ball."
