COURSE 01 · 15 MODULES
Course 01 - First Touch in the Box
Most strikers lose their chance because their first touch kills the opportunity. When you receive inside the box, take the ball out of your feet quickly and away from the defender. A clean first touch under pressure is the foundation of every great striker.
COURSE 02 · 15 MODULES
Course 02 - Turn or Lay Off? Read the Defender
The best strikers never waste a touch — they read the defender before the ball arrives. If the defender is close and tight, lay off. If there's space behind them, turn and attack. Scan before you receive and make the right decision every time.
COURSE 03 · 15 MODULES
Course 03 - Create Space for the Shot
Standing still in the box means the defender always wins. The best strikers use short, sharp movements to lose their marker and create the shooting angle. Learn how to manufacture space in just one or two steps.
COURSE 04 · 15 MODULES
Course 04 - Timing the Run
The most common striker mistake is running too soon and arriving offside — or just too early. The best run is timed to beat the last defender by a fraction of a second. Learn to read the passer's body shape and explode at exactly the right moment.
COURSE 05 · 15 MODULES
Course 05 - Playing with Back to Goal: The Detail That Changes the Play
A great striker doesn't just score — they hold the team up when needed. Learn how to use your body to protect the ball, link play, and bring teammates into the attack. Back-to-goal play is what separates good strikers from elite ones.
COURSE 06 · 15 MODULES
Course 06 - Near Post or Far Post? Reading the Cross
Most strikers just run to the penalty spot and hope — the best ones read the delivery before it comes. The type of cross and the crosser's body shape tell you exactly where the ball is going. Position yourself at the near post or far post to arrive first every time.
COURSE 07 · 15 MODULES
Course 07 - Read the Cross Before It Comes
Great strikers don't react to crosses — they anticipate them. By reading the crosser's run, foot position, and angle, you can predict the delivery before it's made. Learn the visual cues that tell you exactly where to be and when to arrive.
COURSE 08 · 15 MODULES
Course 08 - Stay Calm 1v1 With the Keeper
Most strikers rush the 1v1 against the goalkeeper and miss. The secret is to stay patient, wait for the keeper to commit, and place the ball — not blast it. Learn to control your composure in the most high-pressure moment in football.
COURSE 09 · 15 MODULES
Course 09 - Movement in the Box
Defenders are trained to mark strikers out of the game — so you must move to lose them. Short, sharp movements before the ball is crossed or passed create the separation you need to score. Learn the box movement patterns that defenders hate.
COURSE 11 · 15 MODULES
Course 11 - One-Two Combinations
The one-two combination is one of the most effective tools a striker has to unlock a deep defensive line. By combining quickly with a teammate, you can get behind the defense in seconds. Learn when and how to trigger the one-two to beat the offside trap.
COURSE 12 · 15 MODULES
Course 12 - The Striker Decision Flow
Elite strikers don't think — they read and react. This course brings together all the decision cues from Unit 02 into a complete framework. First touch → Read the defender → Create the space → Time the run → Stay composed → Score.
