The effect of Emotional Freedom Techniques on soccer performance
Llewellyn-Edwards, T., & Llewellyn-Edwards, M.
Abstract
This study involved the use of a short session of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) with two English ladies soccer teams. It is a randomised controlled trial with a supporting uncontrolled trial. It was designed to verify the results of an earlier similar American trial involving basketball players. The results show a significant improvement in goal scoring ability from a dead ball situation following a short EFT session. These results support those of the earlier trial.
