A lecture on penalty shots by Prof. Dr. Daniel Memmert
“Penalties are a lottery.”
Fabio Capello, former manager of the England national team
Are the Germans better at taking penalty shots than the English? Should the player who got fouled execute the penalty kick himself? And what mindset should the player have when taking a penalty? Where should the goalkeeper position himself?
As all football fans believe themselves to be experts in this matter you will get as many answers to these questions as people you. But what do the statistics say and what insights does academic research give on the topic?
Prof. Dr. Daniel Memmert of the German Sport University Cologne is one of Germany’s leading experts in the field of sports science and sports psychology. He has researched penalty shots over many years and will answer these questions in his talk.
The lecture is for professionals of the field of football and fans alike.
The lecture will be given in English. Arabic translation will be provided simultaneously.
This event is jointly organized by Qatar Museums, 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, the German Embassy in Qatar, and the Goethe-Institut Gulf Region.
A legacy project of the Qatar Germany 2017 Year of Culture.
