I'm a right-handed left back. How can I learn to shoot with my left hand?

Hey. I am 14 years old,186cm tall (6'11) and I weight 81 kg(178 pounds). I am right-handed and I play left back,but I also play right back often,because in team, we don't have high left-handed players ,so left backs play on both positions. I want to start shooting with left hand, but I don't know how to start working on it and make the shoot strong as shoot with right hand(or strong enough so I can score with left hand). Can you give me tips,or training plan,so I would know what should I do to make it strong as my right hand? Thanks in advance
