class 6 Physical Education and Well-being Textbook Chapter 4 question answer
During a shootout, players analyze the goalkeeper’s foot positioning, body language, and hand movements to predict their actions. A goalkeeper leaning towards one side or hesitating in their stance may reveal an opening. Observing these subtle signals allows players to aim for less-guarded areas of the goal. Accurate anticipation not only increases the chances of scoring but also sharpens a player’s ability to make quick decisions under high-pressure scenarios.
