Phase 2 (Approach_Preparation)

Approach the ball from a slight angle from the side of the foot that is not going to the kicking the ball, dynamically. Depending on the game situation, take a few approach steps (jogs). Flexion at the hip, staying lower to the ground. May need a studder step in order to get the proper foot set up to kick the ball. During this phase, muscles of the legs will be both concentric and eccentric contractions.
