Improving Your Football Kicking DistanceTechnique is important. Outside that, weight training to make your legs stronger, and flexibility training to give your leg a longer stroke. The leg extension is a good weight exercise.

Answer:

From the kinesiological viewpoint, efficiency of effort in gaining distance is better achieved as you practise getting your natural weight behind the ball as you kick and let your weight do the kinetic work FOR you ... AND, also, as mentioned above, if you are able to increase your flexibility through the hip area, through the legs and hamstrings and lower back, you will also create a longer contact period - more specifically, a longer lever arm/stroke upon the ball, allowing you to exert force upon it over a greater stroke distance.

This is why footballers precede the kick with some run-up - to assist in sending the ball some distance via natural weight transference gained by the run up
