Training for the Perfect Penalty Kick in Soccer

Penalty kicks, while crucial in soccer games, currently suffer from training methods that are repetitive, lack clear feedback, and ultimately prove tedious. This results in many players disengaging from continuous penalty kick practice and having limited knowledge on how to improve their skills. To address these issues, an interactive game that can be used by amateur soccer players is developed. Evaluation results validated the effectiveness of the developed prototype in enhancing users' penalty kick skills and encouraging sustained engagement. This research presents a promising direction in utilizing technology to boost sports training, demonstrating potential for further refinement and broader applications beyond penalty kicks.
