Abstract
This study investigated the effect of player momentum on the outcome of youth football matches. We used an open-source Python library to track the movement of six players in ten 8-10 year-old youth football matches. We then calculated the individual and team average momentum and analyzed the relationship between the total momentum and the match outcome. The results showed that Team 1 had a mean momentum of 3.17 kg-m/s (SD = 1.63) and Team 2 had a mean momentum of 2.35 kg-m/s (SD = 1.57). The F-test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (F > 1), and the P-value was less than 0.05 (P < 0.05), indicating that teams with higher momentum had a 95% chance of winning. In conclusion, teams with higher total momentum have a greater chance of winning youth football matches.
