You should not start your training from foot sweep. You should start from the following order:
1. shine bite - downward force.
2. scoop - horizontal force.
3. sticky straight up lift - vertical upward force.
4. sticky 45 degree upward lift - 45 degree upward force.
5. foot sweep - 45 degree upward force.
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5
In other words, before you learn how to sweep, you will need to learn how to set up and bite your foot on your opponent's leg.
A proper ashi barrai is just number two.
It is a horizontal scoop vs an unbalanced person in motion.
It is functionally identical to a broom sweeping a few marbles. or a hockey stick passing a hockey puck.
or a golf club vs a golf ball.
like a pendulum swing in some respects because you dont have to have a lot of force.
It's so natural a motion it shows up in street fights in the untrained.
looking for the other link... but here is a great ashi barrai on an unsuspecting individual.
i am putting it here to demonstrate the motion.
about the effort of passing a soccer ball down field.
