Walking lunges are a great way to help with your leg strength and balance. Make sure you go all the way down until your knee almost touches the ground. Another good exercise is the use of ankle weights and kicking or side straddle hops, star bombs, squats, monkey f----ers, and smurf jacks.

accuracy comes from repititions of actuall kicking. Do it repeatedly and your leg will improve muscle memory, so in case you prepare sloppy, you'll play sloppy. prepare precise and also you'll play precise. For capacity, for sure weights, top leg and decrease belly capacity preparation is needed.(merely visualize what muscle communities play an element contained in the kicking stream and those are it) yet you'll also favor to paintings on stick with by and adaptableness. The more advantageous versatile you're, the more advantageous you could stick with by. And stick with by is the foremost to optimal capacity on the point of contact with the football. don't be afraid to take a martial arts class, they do a lot of kicking and adaptableness.

I balance on 1 foot, while standing on a bowling ball and punch a heavy bag for 300 jabs, crosses, uppercuts, ect. each. I have friends that did some ballet for stability they said it worked, lol

Lift the front of your foot up and down while keeping you heel on the floor, do this for as much as you can and youll build calf and shin muscels
which help your ankels
