I cant agree with this, sorry mate.don't bother with standing start kicks cos in a game you'll kick them on your good foot rather practice kicking them on the run
You need to learn to stand before you walk. You need to learn to walk before you run. Its the same with learning to kick on your non preferred foot.
Stand on your right leg, bend your left back into kicking position, extend your right arm out for balance, hold your form until you get balance. Drop the ball on your foot, head down, head over the ball. Get your form right. Get used to the left hand ball drop. Get used to extending your right arm out for balance. Get used to keeping your head over the ball.
When you feel like you are doing this well (have someone comment on your form), stat practicing kicking at walking pace. Concentrating on all the fore mentioned form habits. Balance, right arm out, head over the ball, left hand ball drop.
Again, when you feel comfortable, and someone says your form looks natural, try it jogging. Again, concentrate on the basics, balance, arm extended, head over the ball, left hand ball drop, etc.
Then make yourself use only your left foot in 9s footy, pre-season, until it becomes natural.
