The World Cup in Qatar is drawing to a close. Penalties and penalty shootouts have provided some of the biggest moments of the tournament. We analyse penalty data from the World Cup and ask what boosts the chance of scoring from the spot, with the help of Ben Lyttleton, author of Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty.

There is perhaps no greater theater in all of sports than a penalty kick shootout at the World Cup. Players take turns walking into the spotlight with millions, if not billions of people around the world watching them, and engage in a high-stakes battle of skill and nerves with the goalkeeper. Score, and you are cheered -- miss, and your legacy might forever be tainted. And yet, despite the huge importance of shootouts, many coaches over the years have simply shrugged their shoulders and referred to them as lotteries. Soccer writer and long-suffering England fan Ben Lyttleton, who has written a book about penalty kicks, joins us today to dispel the notion that shootouts are a simple game of chance, and to explain the fascinating science and psychology of soccer's ultimate showdown.Ben Lyttleton's book about penalty kicks:https://www.amazon.com/Twelve-Yards-Psychology-Perfect-Penalty/dp/0143127306/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

British football journalist Ben Lyttleton literally wrote the book on football penalties. As the author of 'Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty' and 'Edge: What Business Can Learn From Football', Lyttleton is arguably the world's leading authority on the subject. His encyclopedia-like and passionate knowledge of both the game of football and the controversial penalty, make this one of the most entertaining podcasts we have done yet.

C'est un numéro spécial. Parce que le monde a changé. Et que les RH sont aussi en première ligne. Un édito de circonstance: entrons-nous dans un "monde d'après" ou un "long maintenant" pour le talent management? Et aussi la chronique d'un livre inspirant: "Manager United" de Ben Lyttleton. A lire. Même si vous n'aimez pas le football.  Comme moi.

I'm delighted to speak with football writer and consultant, Ben Lyttleton in this episode. Ben has always been interested in the psychology of performance. After writing his first book, Twelve Yards: The Art and Psychology of the Perfect Penalty he started working with clubs to help them improve their penalty taking strategies and record. Ben has also written the fantastic book EDGE in which he discovers the innovative methods some of the world's top football clubs use to develop talent. And it's this book we mainly focus on, specifically we speak about team cohesion; teams taking a holistic approach to developing players; what makes teams successful; retaining players; the transfer window and buying players at the elite level; types of motivation; decision making (Cruyff Football); resilience and creativity.

Continually looking to improve different aspects of your self is one of the keys to moving forwards in life and avoiding staying stuck. In this week's episode of DTMTS, Simon Mundie sits down with author and top football expert Ben Lyttleton, who was given unprecedented access to some of the world’s top football clubs to discover their innovative methods for developing talent – so he could go on and reveal how we can use those same cutting edge techniques, approaches and outlooks in our everyday lives. In his book 'Edge', Ben talks about how elite teams now look for an edge by improving the intangible skills of their players ‘above the shoulder’. This episode is packed full of useful tips on resilience, leadership, motivation, managing millennials, the importance of managing stress for both body and mind, the undoubted power of putting away your phone and why developing good posture is an absolute must.

Mais c’est quoi notre problème ? Comment expliquer que dès la 70ème minute d’un match de coupe sans notre équipe de coeur, l’on s’impatiente déjà d’assister à la séance de tirs au but ? Cédric Rouquette, journaliste, s’est chargé de traduire « La solitude du tireur de penalty » de Ben Lyttleton, afin de comprendre tous les mécanismes de ce concentré de football : un ballon, un but, une frappe et un gardien.

The Euro 2016 final is nearly upon us, and the implications of Sunday's final form the backbone of discussion on the new Planet Futbol Podcast.

Did the addition of eight more teams dilute the quality of the tournament, or has the expansion resulted in enough fairytale stories to make it all worth it? Could it lead to a 40-team World Cup?

The winter transfer window in Europe is beginning to shut, and there are a number of factors in play that will determine which big names, if any, change addresses ahead of the stretch run. SI.com's Ben Lyttleton joins the Planet Fútbol Podcast to explain all the intricate reasons why players may be staying put (hint: few big names risk moving ahead of a major tournament like the Euros), which big names will actually move and how the transfer bans against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid could complicate matters as well. But how do teams identify the players they want to go after? For that, we bring in analytics expert Daniel Altman, who speaks with SI's Grant Wahl about the not-so-obvious things teams and talent scouts may look for in a player. Finally, we conclude with the biggest stories in U.S. Soccer: Jordan Morris choosing Seattle over Werder Bremen and the Benny Feilhaber-Jurgen Klinsmann war of words. With Morris in the fold, does Seattle have the best NBA Jam-style (three-man team) attacking trio in MLS? Do Feilhaber and Klinsmann both have points? Learn more about your ad choices.
