Abstract Objectives This examined the effect of PETTLEP imagery on the spatial anticipation of novice soccer goalkeepers during penalty kicks. Methods Twenty-four adolescent male goalkeepers (Meanage: 14.14 ± 1.10) were selected and divided randomly into two groups. In the pretest, the goalkeepers responded to 12 video stimuli to evaluate spatial anticipation. The goalkeepers in the experimental group listened to the audio file of the PETTLEP imagery for 6 sessions where the control group was engaged in goalkeeper training only. Results Results showed the group under PETTLEP imagery intervention had a significant difference from the control group in post-test (p=0.004). Conclusions 6 sessions PETTLEP Imagery intervention has improved anticipation of novice goalkeepers during penalty kicks.
