Choosing your first 5 shooters – (not like Portugal’s Christiano Ronaldo who was last of ta single penalty). Imagine, one of Europe’s best footballers didn’ t even get to take a PK for his country in the end because the coach placed him as Portugal’s 5th shooter! mistake on the part of the Portugal’s coach Paolo Bento.
Should you ask your players if they want to volunteer to shoot, or should the coach make the selections? I don’ t believe a coach should let the players decide who shoots based on their feelings at that given moment. This is because very different things.
My advice is that the coach should make the selections and should have already created a list of his top 5-7 shooters, based on PK practice dr ills as well as previous game exper ience with his players. There is no better data to base your decision than actual game experience (track record). But since not everyone gets to take PKs in matches or even in PK shootouts, coaches should run PK shootout simulations with his players per iodically once per month. Also, a good idea is tousually one of your most skilled players and has the most experience. leaders, and take it upon themselves to lead their squad during challenging timesouts.

Some Great Tips for PK Shooting/Execution (for players elected to shoot penalties)
Encourage your players to take at least 4-5 steps behind the ball. Short run-ups typically mean soft shots, which are much easier for GKs to save.
Discourage your players from taking stutter steps, as Schweinsteiger did against Chelsea when he missed.
I also personally don’t care for cheeky PKs, like chipping the ball softly toward the center of the goal (making the GK look like a fool). I encourage my players to go with a controlled (accurate) power shot. Up the middle is fine, if you have noticed by the 3rd shot or so that the GK is guessing directions (as opposed to waiting to react to the shooter). Since most great PK killing GKs react to the shooter, against these types I would strongly discourage shooting up the middle.
While some shooters like shooting high, the priority should be first corner placement, then height, not the other way around. I tend to favor PK shooters who can shoot the ball hard and low.
Finally, when your players take a PK, tell them to:
- be confident as you walk up to the penalty spot. Know that you worked hard to get to this point, and that you’ve practiced shooting these things many, many times. It’s simply another opportunity to execute the plan to the best of your ability. No one can ask for more than that.
- set the ball themselves (out of divots, preferably on flat or a tuft of grass)
- take at least 4-5 steps of a run-up (for power and momentum), as we said earlier

- pick your corner and never change this decision mid
- visualize repeatedly yourself executing your PK flawlessjust before taking your shot , striking an exact part of the ball, following through, picturing the ball entering the net, and then celebrating!
- try to clear out as much external noise and distraction as possiblefocus only on the job at hand –part of the ball that should be struck). This was against Holland in 1974, to tie the game 1where he wants to place the ball, he focuses on the part of the ball that he needs to strike and that he simply follows through. Concentration is paramount.

clear out as much external noise and distraction as possible – clear your mind and – this means actually looking at the ball (focusing on the exact
part of the ball that should be struck). This was Paul Breitner ’s secret when he took the PK against Holland in 1974, to tie the game 1-1 in the first half. He once said that after deciding on where he wants to place the ball, he focuses on the part of the ball that he needs to strike and that
