King of the Free Kicks - David Beckham

The Dead-Ball Specialist - Can you bend it like Beckham?
David Beckham was the king of free kicks. He has a wonderful way of striking a dead ball that makes it swerve and dip through the air resulting in a shot that is impossible for the goalkeeper to stop. Watch closely how he raises his left arm in a windmill type action whilst he leans over and strikes through the ball using a combination of his laces and the inside of his boot. After you have watched the video of all his freekicks take a look at the other video which shows you exactly how to do it. Once you have studied his technique, see if you can do it the same way when you go out to practise against a wall. If you can teach yourself to shoot like he does you will soon be scoring loads of goals and be a valuable member to any team.
