Steamed Districts and Sparsely Populated Countries: Exploring the Obvious Challenges of Placekicking in University Football Players

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by university football players in placekicking when competing in steamed districts or sparsely populated countries. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey of 150 university football players and in-depth interviews with 20 players and coaches. Results indicated that players faced a range of challenges, including difficulty in judging distance and trajectory due to the weather conditions, the lack of suitable practice facilities, and the limited availability of coaches with specialized knowledge of placekicking. Additionally, players from sparsely populated countries reported feeling isolated and lacking support from their communities. The study concludes by highlighting the need for tailored training programs and support networks to address these challenges and improve the performance of university football players in placekicking.
