'A gripping, surprising and deeply humane look at one of the most intense
pieces of drama on earth.' James Graham, author of Dear England


'I can score penalties in my sleep, so why not that one?' Marcus Rashford,
Euros 2021

The penalty shootout is the most intense drama in sport. The anxious wait, the
building dread, the lonely, heavy-legged walk towards the penalty spot. One
kick while the world holds its breath. Even football's most casual observers
cannot escape the nerve-wracking suspense.

What happens to a footballer's brain and body in these heart-pounding moments
of pressure? Why do some thrive while others choke?

In this ground-breaking book, sport psychology Professor Geir Jordet dissects
each agonising element of the shootout's duel and the universal human stress
mechanisms that it triggers and illuminates. Drawing on two decades of
studying the atomic nuances of performance under pressure, Jordet's vivid case
studies take you behind the scenes of football's most nail-biting moments. He
interviews superstars and shares stories from his work with top teams and some
of the world's best players.

In the penalty shootout, as in life, it is often the tiny, seemingly invisible
decisions that impact success and failure. After reading this book, you will
have fresh insights and a newly acquired understanding of those dreaded
moments when the pressure builds - how to handle them.
