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 am predominately left handed/left footed but being left handed you have to teach yourself to use your right side adequately.

    I can play with my left or right feet equally comfortably, i like to play as wide forward so being able to cut inside or go on the outside is a huge advantage to me and it keeps defenders guessing.

    My only issue with my right foot is probably volleying it
