you have to stop kicking AT things and start kicking THROUGH things. increase the resistance of people holding the pads. make it harder to move it. if you are kicking AT it, it wont move much, if you are kicking THROUGH it, it should move. this makes the move into something that is effective, from something that just looked the part.
there is a major advantage kicking objects under resistance than kicking thin air.

Don't forget to get your shoulders involved. The more of your body you get involved with the kick, the more power will be generated. Just don't forget to follow good technique. A correctly done kick is the first place to start, especially when you need break boards. Ask for tips, hopefully it's not too late. Bad habits are hard to stop.

in two days?...pray alot...unless theres some secret method I'm not sure on how to improve in two days....I could be wrong though
in the long run though
Tae Kwon Do power comes from your Hip and Calf Area and form
good exercises would incluse as follows
Overhead Squat
1 leg Squat(most people cant go down all the way on this one, so if you can get 10 out you're way ahead of alot of people)
Front Squat
1 Leg Deadlift
Stiff leg Deadlift
Lunge
Back Squat
Calf Raise
Skipping
Jumping Jacks
Good Luck

Practice. You need to practice with resistance like weights or against boards or a kick bag. Nothing beats practice.
I would say 20 straight reps on each side followed by a short break and then repeat until exhausted.

Too late. You cannot improve enough in 2 days.

body dynamics is what you need. Angle of strike, pivotting and directing weight distribution for power.
These are easy quick fix remedies.

the more weight you put on your back foot the more power, while the more weight on the front gives you more speed.

leg weights, jumping(skipping), alot of that kung fu stuff is mental though.. just focus your all your power into breaking that wood.

Pivot from your hip.
