N2 - Soccer instep kick kinematics has been examined in the literature through 2D analysis and more recently 3D analysis (Levanon and Dapena, 1998: Medicine and
Science in Sports and Exercise, 30, 917–927). The importance of ball approach prior to kick execution has been recognised in other sports such as rugby (Jackson and Baker, 2001: The Sport Psychologist, 15, 48–65). However, there is limited research on the relationship between ball approach, shot accuracy and kick kinematics in soccer. The objective of this case study was to establish the effect of altering the ball approach, on kick kinematics and shot accuracy, when performing instep penalty kicks.
