Penalty Practice Protocol

Obj: Penalties as tracked craft — routines built, conversion logged, the earned list maintained: the club's penalty philosophy (2.10) operationalized weekly in minutes. Field: Penalty spots, goals + GKs. Equip: Goals, balls, conversion log (app). Org: The protocol's weekly ten minutes: every player takes two penalties under routine discipline (the walk, the spot-place, the breath, the commit — G-30's routine craft at the game's purest pressure point), conversion logged app-side (the taker list is DATA, published, 2.10's law — self-nomination plus tracked conversion equals the list, seniority equals nothing). GKs log saves and study patterns (I-23's craft — their session simultaneously). Monthly: the shootout simulation (full protocol — the walk from center circle, the order, the waiting — G-30's theater with the whole roster; pressure rehearsed is pressure halved). CP: (1) Routine over outcome in training (the routine is what travels to May — grade it alongside conversion); (2) commit beats correct (the changed mind at step three is the miss — G-19's law at twelve yards); (3) the miss protocol pre-agreed (the walk back, the teammates' response, the coach's public defense — 2.10's promise rehearsed so it's real when it counts). Prog: Consequence layers (G-30's stakes); GK-informed rounds (takers vs. keepers who've studied them — the arms race at the spot). Reg: No logging below U13 (just fun reps); shootout sims annual not monthly for younger. Mist: P: practicing only their party penalty (two spots minimum per taker — scouted takers die predictable); C: the list by feel instead of the log (the data's fairness is the culture's shield when May arrives). Time: 10 min weekly, permanent. Out: A published data-earned list per team; routines owned; shootout protocol rehearsed quarterly at minimum. Var: Pressure-graded logging (conversion in sims weighted above open practice — the data mirrors the reality it predicts). Diag: Penalty with routine icons sequenced (walk/place/breath/commit), the conversion log inset with the earned list, shootout-sim panel showing the center-circle walk.
