I’m 19, been playing football since I think I was about 7/8, and I used to be naturally right footed starting out.
I think I was only dominantly right footed only for around a year or two as I mostly remember using my left foot a lot more than my right. And that’s the case now, I always use my left for shooting, crossing and passing etc.
However, I will naturally go onto my right foot for dribbling and taking a first touch and most skills, in which I have far better control with.
I would say I can use both feet pretty well, left being my dominant and most accurate now, where as my right is pretty solid and will only feel awkward to use about 30% of the time (mainly when shooting and crossing).
I know this was long , I do apologise but does anyone know why this is the case? Why do I have better control and a better sense of dribbling with my right foot when I now feel like a “natural” left footer?
I have a friend that had a knee injury playing football and had to undergo surgery. He started training his left foot since he was afraid to use his right leg where he had surgery. When he fully recovered he played mostly with his left foot.
