hi i'm harry smith from the wigan
0:01
warriors halfback and today i'm going to
0:03
be showing you a kicking master class
0:05
and what the do's and don'ts are
0:12
so point one would be the warm-up
0:14
necessarily in kicking at a the main two
0:17
muscles are your quads and your
0:18
hamstrings that you warm up so take a
0:20
good five ten minutes before you start
0:21
kicking to warm them up point two would
0:24
be about the ball and the cone is the
0:26
equipment that we use so place the ball
0:28
on the cone however you feel comfortable
0:31
aiming at the middle or even one of the
0:33
posts so for me as a left foot either in
0:35
mind at the left stick and if you're
0:36
right-footed for the right stick and
0:39
then taking your position at the ball
0:41
wherever again is all about comfortable
0:43
and taking i'd say three to four steps
0:46
again for comfortability and then
0:48
keeping your eye on the ball of where
0:49
you want to hit the ball and striking
0:51
through the ball uh as hard as you can
0:54
and step three would be
1:07
another important piece of kit that
1:08
we'll use is obviously the cone to keep
1:10
the ball in the earth to strike with you
1:12
can get various different types but i
1:14
like to keep mine quite low so i'll
1:16
place it down again line up with the
1:20
i'm placing the ball try and use the
1:22
middle line to aim and put the ball
1:24
right in the middle so it looks
1:26
straight where you're aiming
1:28
and then i'd have a try and have a 45
1:30
degree angle on the cone so the ball
1:32
gets a nice trajectory but not too high
1:43
i'd say my pro tip to take away from
1:45
this video is definitely the run-up
1:47
taking your time and staying composed
1:49
and finding where you want to strike the
1:55
well i couldn't keep that any better
1:56
then an extra tip that i'd talk about is
1:58
obviously composure and the wind
2:00
conditions that are around you so
2:02
obviously blocking out the noise of the
2:03
crowd just concentrating on your system
2:05
and staying composed and focused on the
2:07
ball and also obviously today it's a
2:09
nice day but always before every kick
2:12
check the wind grab a bit of grass throw
2:13
it up see where it's going obviously
2:15
there's a little bit off the left so
2:16
i'll aim a little bit wider let the ball
2:20
and obviously when i take my steps back
2:22
i take four steps back
2:24
again it's different for everyone who's
2:25
comfortable but i'd say a very important
2:28
point i find is on my walk up to the
2:30
ball i like to go very slow and not rush
2:32
into the ball so that's when you could
2:34
lose technique and mis-strike the ball
2:37
nice and slow and controlled into the
2:43
