Soccer penalty kickers wearing motion sensors1 revealed that subtle body cues can give away which side of the net they're shooting for

Those of you following the World Cup know that at this stage there can be no more draws. Ties are broken during overtime2 play, or in a penalty kick shootout in which a goalkeeper’s ability to anticipate the ball’s flight can mean the difference between victory and elimination3. Now, scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic4 Institute have discovered how a kicker’s body can betray whether he’s aiming left or right.

In a penalty shot, it’s kicker versus5 goalkeeper. And with the shooter standing6 just 12 yards from the goal, that ball can touch net in about half a second. That’s faster than a keeper can launch himself from the goal’s center to either post. Which means that a goalkeeper has to start moving before the kicker’s foot meets the ball. And he has to guess correctly which way to dive.

To figure out how good goalies might up their odds7, scientists attached motion detectors8 to college-level penalty kickers. And they found a handful of indicators9 that reliably predict kick direction, such as the angle of the kicker’s hips10 and how he plants his supporting foot.

Good goalies may be able to read those subtle cues. Meaning that they use their hands, and their heads
