Weak Foot

1 definition submitted by the community

A player's less dominant foot. Most players have a strong foot they prefer and a weak foot they avoid. Truly two-footed players are rare - they can shoot, pass, and control with either foot equally well. Defenders exploit players with weak weak-foots by forcing them onto it. Coaches rate weak foot ability on a scale; players work on it but some never get comfortable.
Santi Cazorla was genuinely two-footed - he could take corners with either foot, and opponents couldn't predict which way he'd go. Most players have a clear preference; Cazorla didn't seem to care.
