BALANCE

Balance is critical in shooting because when shooting a player must balance on one foot and use the other to shoot.  If that anchor foot is out of balance the shot will be impacted negatively.

ACCURACY

Accuracy is critical for shooting because there are usually several obstacles that a player must overcome when shooting, hence the more accurate a shot is, the more likely it is to score.

SPEED

The game of soccer is a fast game and the windows of opportunity to shoot, open and close very quickly.  Hence having a quick shot release is essential for successful goal scoring.

INTELLIGENCE

A player's decision making ability during the brief moments before releasing a shot is critical. Knowing what shot to take in what moment or context is a skill that takes a long time to master.

CONTROL

During a game the distance between the goal and shooter varies throughout the game.  Learning to adjust the power of the shot relative to the distance to the goal is critical for successful goal scoring.
