Your initial move toward the ball's placement spot should start with a slight forward lean of your shoulders. Then:
1. Take a short momentum step forward with your plant foot
2. Take a normal forward step with the kicking foot
3. Next, take a longer second step with the plant foot
Your second plant foot step should bring the foot even with and six inches outside the spot where the ball will be spotted for the kick.
In this position, the kicker has room and is in position to make proper contact with the ball.
When you're first working on getting your initial steps down, you require neither tee nor ball. It's better to use a piece of tape as your placement spot. You'll soon feel that your steps are the correct length and that you are ending in the proper position to make your kick with your head down and eyes focused on the placement spot.
