Intoeing and adapting to game play

[BananaKick]

My 10 year old daughter has Intoeing and seems to do just fine with dribbling, speed, and passes. When it comes down to shots on goal there lies her fustration with this condition. She shoots with the outside of her foot because her feet naturally are turned in resulting in poor mechanics and week shots. Anyone else have a child with Intoeing? How do they adapt? And is there some way to correct it?

My son's hip is twisted so his shooting foot is turned in. The intoeing helps with speed as you pull to push instead of push to push as you run... as far as shooting, she needs to practice hitting with the top (laces) and unless she is trying to make the ball curve, dont shoot with the outside. It might be a habit now... so have her break it and practice laces. Also, have her practice passing more with inside of her feet, this may help her break that habit as well.

If she has the outside-foot shot mastered, don't lose that skill.
