I was coming to land on Runway XX. There was a 5-kt. crosswind from the right and I corrected for the wind. I was about 70 kt. in the final due to the crosswind. I rounded out and touched down. Due to the crosswind; the plane went towards the right of the centerline and I tried to correct it by turning left. The plane went more towards the left of the centerline and I tried to correct it back towards the center. I lost control at this point and the plane kept moving towards the left off the runway and into the grass. The plane leaned forward; slowed down; and came to a full stop in the grass. I shut down the magnetos; shut off the fuel; fuel pump; and master. Then I called the CTAF frequency and called the flight school. I think overcontrolling the plane with foot brakes on made me lose control and go off the runway.
PA-28 pilot reported a loss of control during the landing rollout due to improper crosswind correction technique and the aircraft departed off the left side of the runway; stopping in the grass.
