I'm not even sure I know what happened in any of the four sentences. You were running towards the goal and while you were running, you kicked someone male?

Just say "I kicked him while I was running toward the goal" or "I kicked him while he was running toward the goal" and don't make your reader try to guess what you mean by playing with the placement of a comma.
