Interesting research

It would be interesting in future studies to identify what foot the participant's used to strike the ball, as this could have an effect on end ball location. On the graphic of end ball location over 50% more shots were to the left of the goal, I would guess most of the participant's were right footed?

Best wishes,
Barry
