I've always thought that, but professional coaches would just sneer.

George Best said he used to practise and practise with his weaker left foot and eventually it became better than his right. It also gave him balance and options when faced with an opponent.

Why not play 15 minute 5-a-side games where you are only allowed to use your weaker foot. There must be exercises they can do, but football in England is strangely stubborn to embrace new ideas.
