Description

Ben Lyttleton explores the drama and psychology behind one of football's most enduring moments: the penalty kick.

The humble penalty kick has produced an inordinate amount of trauma, joy, and shattered dreams since its invention. In Twelve Yards, Lyttleton delves into the world of spot-kicks, revealing how to take them, how not to miss them, and the different approaches taken by players and goalkeepers alike.

From exclusive anecdotes from football legends to insights from psychologists and sports scientists, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of one of football's oldest questions: how do you score from twelve yards?
