Reply To: Preparing for penalties

[George Morrison]

I think different images may be used by individual players to improve performance. Some imagery is designed to relax or improve concentration while other images may be of successful penalty shootouts or particular techniques.Personally I believe the most important thing is to have an image of how the ball will be struck and where it will end up. problems begin when players change their mind at the last minute due to a tiny lapse in concentration. taking a penalty is like mountaineering in that any lapse in concentration can be fatal unless you get lucky
