“…Therefore, information such as the direction, speed and timeto-contact of a moving ball, all of which can only be determined once the ball has been kicked, may be of no benefit to the goalkeeper (Diaz, Fajen, & Phillips, 2012;Regan, 1997). In fact, research has consistently shown that the most important visual cues to correctly anticipate the direction of the ball for goalkeepers are from events immediately prior to the striker's kicking action to the striker's foot-to-ball contact (Button, Dicks, Haines, Barker, & Davids, 2011;Dicks, Uehara, & Lima, 2011;Savelsbergh, Van Der Kamp, Williams, & Ward, 2005). However, studies using eye-tracking devices have reported that fixations on the torso, hips and kicking leg of the striker result in successful anticipation of a penalty kick (Lopes, Araújo, & Davids, 2014;Savelsbergh, Williams, Van Der Kamp, & Ward, 2002) although Franks and Harvey (1997) and Savelsbergh and colleagues (2005) have shown that anticipatory skills of goalkeepers were more successful when fixating on the stance leg (i.e., non-kicking leg) prior to foot-to-ball contact.…”
