Euro 2024: Penalty shootouts set to take center stage as psychology and new tactics come into play

Associated Press  

DORTMUND, Germany — Here’s a quiz question: What do the 2022 World Cup final, the 2021 African Cup of Nations final, the 2020 European Championship final and the 2016 Copa America final have in common? “There are so many things you can do to prepare your team for penalties, to train them for penalties, to help your players and team cope with the pressure of penalties,” says Geir Jordet, professor at the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences and author of the recently published book, “Pressure: Lessons from the Psychology of the Penalty Shootout.” “You can do this as an individual, as a team, as a manager,” he said. It’s the same case with pilots or if you look at surgeons or ER doctors.” Jordet has looked specifically at penalty shootouts at the last World Cup and how coaches managed the two minutes they had with their players between extra time finishing and the shootout starting. “It’s about making the individual act of shooting a penalty into a collective team performance,” Jordet said.
