The required phrase is italicized as requested:This research aimed to: (1) determine whether confidence had a direct effect on penalty kick ability; (2) determine whether anxiety had a direct effect on penalty kick ability; (3) determine whether eye-foot coordination had a direct effect on penalty kick ability; (4) determine whether self-confidence had a direct effect on anxiety; (5) determine whether self-confidence had a direct effect on eye-foot coordination; (6) determine whether anxiety had a direct effect on eye-foot coordination; and (7) examine the simultaneous influence of confidence, anxiety, and eye-foot coordination on penalty kick ability among football players of Club Baruna Tumbak Mitra. The study used a quantitative ex post facto research design. Path analysis was employed to examine the pattern of relationships among the independent variables and the dependent variable. The instruments used included a closed questionnaire to measure confidence and anxiety, the “Soccer Wall Volley Test” to assess eye-foot coordination, and a “Shooting Test” to measure penalty kick ability. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate statistical tests at an alpha level of 0.05. The results indicated that: (1) there was a significant effect of confidence on penalty kick ability, contributing 43.30%; (2) there was a significant effect of anxiety on penalty kick ability, contributing 40.96%; (3) there was a significant effect of eye-foot coordination on penalty kick ability, contributing 59.44%; (4) there was a significant effect of confidence on anxiety, contributing 65.77%; (5) there was a significant effect of confidence on eye-foot coordination, contributing 35.28%; (6) there was a significant effect of anxiety on eye-foot coordination, contributing 43.03%; and (7) there was a simultaneous significant influence of confidence, anxiety, and eye-foot coordination on penalty kick ability among football players of Club Baruna Tumbak Mitra, with a combined contribution of 66.59%.]]>
