please make this into a paragraph:
- We did not get a chance to have a goalie with our stationary shots
- Centre Shots without goalie was 100% as we were straight on form the goal, and it was the easiest shot
- Left Hand shots without goalie was 20% as it was one of the harder shots and that meant less of a percentage of the group managed to score, this could also be because we were throwing from our left hand, (less powerful and dominant)
- Right Hand shots without goalie was 45%, this was also one of the harder shots and that meant less of a percentage the group managed to score, however this shot may have been easier to shot as we were throwing from our right hand, (our more dominant hand)
I feel as if the centre shots were the best position to throw the ball from the field with and without the goalie as you are face on in front of the net, which would mean that it is easier to score a point

Overall, during our practice session, we found that our accuracy in scoring goals varied depending on the position from which we were shooting. Without a goalie, our center shots were the most successful, with a 100% success rate due to the direct angle to the goal. Left-hand shots were the least successful at 20%, likely because throwing with our non-dominant hand was challenging. Right-hand shots had a 45% success rate, reflecting the difficulty of this angle compared to the center. In conclusion, the center position seemed to be the most effective for scoring goals both with and without a goalie.
Explain or give a possible reason for the result? (refer to research found)
One possible reason for the varying success rates in scoring goals from different positions could be related to the concept of the dominant eye in sports, particularly in shooting accuracy. Research in sports science suggests that individuals may have a dominant eye that influences their aim and accuracy when shooting sports like basketball or soccer. In the case of our study, the higher success rate in right-hand shots, which is typically associated with the dominant hand for the majority of people, could support the idea that the dominant hand-eye coordination plays a significant role in shooting accuracy. Additionally, the difficulty of left-hand shots could be attributed to decreased coordination and power from the non-dominant hand. This aligns with previous studies that have shown the importance of eye-hand coordination and dominant eye in sports performance.
Compare right side of court to left side of court
When comparing the success rates from shooting on the right side versus the left side of the court, our results showed that the right-hand shots without a goalie had a 45% success rate, while the left-hand shots had a lower success rate of 20%. This discrepancy could be attributed to factors such as hand dominance and eye-hand coordination. Research in sports science suggests that individuals tend to have better accuracy and coordination when using their dominant hand. In this case, shooting from the right side, which likely involved using the dominant hand for most participants, may have contributed to the higher success rate. On the other hand, shooting from the left side, which required the use of the non-dominant hand for many, resulted in lower success rates due to decreased coordination and power. This highlights the impact of hand dominance and coordination in shooting accuracy on different sides of the court.
Why would you expect to see this outcome
The outcome of higher success rates in shooting from the right side compared to the left side of the court can be expected due to the majority of individuals being right-handed and having better coordination and control with their dominant hand. Studies in biomechanics and sports science have shown that hand dominance plays a crucial role in fine motor skills and coordination, including shooting accuracy in sports like basketball or soccer. When shooting from the right side of the court, most players would naturally use their dominant right hand, leading to better aim, power, and control. Conversely, shooting from the left side may require using the non-dominant hand for many individuals, resulting in decreased accuracy and power due to the lack of coordination with the non-dominant hand. Therefore, the expected outcome of higher success rates on the right side of the court aligns with the research on hand dominance and its influence on shooting performance.
