Aim to hit halfway up the ball, right on the knuckle of your big toe (but not on the toes). As you hit the ball, extend the foot in a snapping motion for extra power. Maintain your head over the ball so you don’t lean back and loft it. Make sure to follow through by swinging your foot in a complete arc.

Why can’t I kick a soccer ball hard?
Pointing your foot the wrong way makes kicking feel awkward, prevents you from maximizing your power, and can send the ball in a direction you did not intend for it to go. Pointing your foot towards the ball will cause your foot to get in the way. Point too far to the side and you’ll lose control of the ball.
