We've all seen our share of penalty shootouts over the last few weeks... 

In Episode 13 of The Tactics Room, Will Fowler (@WillFowler5) goes under the hood of the shootout and analyzes why they're more than just putting the ball on the spot and shooting from twelve yards. The psychological, neurological, and physiological factors constantly at play make the penalty shootout one of the most intriguing -- and most difficult to understand -- displays that world football has to offer.
