A goalkeeper&#8217;s nightmare, but even more for the shooter? A part of the game where luck decides?<\/p>\n<h5>Lottery or quality preparation for taking penalty kicks?<\/h5>\n<p>If penalty kicks were truly just a lottery where chance decides, then it wouldn&#8217;t make sense to practice taking them at all, would it? And yet, almost everywhere in the world, the periodization of football training includes practicing penalty kicks. The very fact that penalty kicks are practiced suggests that they are not merely a lottery, luck, and chance. Logic dictates that we become better with practice. Of course, only if we practice in the right way. That&#8217;s the trick. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h5>Mental demands of penalty kicks<\/h5>\n<p>In any case, taking a penalty kick is not an easy mental task. Indeed, the stakes are high, expectations too, and the tension rises as fans bite their nails and cover their eyes with scarves. The goal appears to shrink in the eyes of the shooter and to grow in the eyes of the goalkeeper. For these reasons, the athlete&#8217;s mental readiness is clearly visible during penalty kicks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*A study by Norwegian scientists showed that the heart rate of a penalty taker in a football championship is equal to that of a warrior in a combat situation. Life or death, scored or missed penalty, the physical reactions obviously look very similar\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to our national football team, we have had the opportunity to test our nerves multiple times. However, most of the time, after the tension, we celebrated.<\/p>\n<p>But how can a footballer reduce the uncertainty that penalties bring? How to increase the probability of successfully taking a penalty? Of course, as psychologists, we do not intend to talk about the technical aspects of taking penalties, but about the mental game that takes place between the shooter&#8217;s ears.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2354\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-2-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Penalty routines \u2013 how to beat the opponent in your head<\/h5>\n<p>What can help any shooter is to adopt a certain <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/kako-koristiti-rutine-u-sportu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\">penalty<\/span> routine<\/a><\/strong> that they then practice in training and repeat every time they take a penalty in a match. If you pay attention to certain world athletic stars, you can see that some of them take every penalty or free kick with the same preparation ritual. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, rituals\/routines bring us certainty, security, controlled conditions, and familiarity with the situation. They &#8220;enclose&#8221; the athlete in an imaginary bubble where they enter a good state and are <strong>more resistant to various distractors.<\/strong> Distractors can be thousands of fans, both their own and the opponent&#8217;s, but the biggest rival is the one in the athlete&#8217;s head. Rituals sometimes have a direct impact (leaving a clear mark on some dimension of sports preparedness \u2013 focus, emotional state, confidence), and sometimes an indirect impact (without directly affecting performance, but their execution creates a long-term sense of stability and security).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2355\" src=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mentalnitrening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/mentalni-trening-izvodenje-penala-3-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>What are good penalty routines?<\/h5>\n<p>The rituals\/routines that shooters have before taking a penalty are, of course, a matter of personal style, and it is least useful to copy someone else. Especially when only the visible behavior is copied, without understanding the underlying reasons. With all the uncertainty that penalties bring, shooters need the control they achieve by always following the same preparation, and the goal of that preparation is to reach an optimal state before taking the shot. Of course, the optimal state is individually determined for each athlete. Some athletes perform better with high levels of arousal, while others prefer lower levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Generations obsessed with football will remember \u0160uker&#8217;s penalty against Romania when he controlled his pulse just before taking the shot to put himself in the ideal state for execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is very difficult to always practice such high-pressure situations because they are rare.
