The goal keeper is the last line of defense to prevent the other team from scoring. There are a few things that make an exceptional goal keeper, including awareness, proper form, and ability to move quickly. This article will help you train yourself to maximize these skills to become the best goal keeper you can be!
Things You Should Know
- Stand on the balls of your feet with your knees bent and and your body loose so you can react quickly.
- Stay in communication with your teammates since you have a full view of the field. Take control and shout instructions when you need to.
- Watch your opponents' feet, not their eyes, to figure out where they're kicking the ball ahead of time.
Steps
Community Q&A
- QuestionWhat do I do if there is a 2-on-1 situation?
Community AnswerYour best chance is to wait until the person who has the ball gets close and run towards him and pounce on the ball. If he passes the ball while you are charging him, it will probably be a bad pass because he is under pressure. - QuestionHow do I dive without getting hurt?
Joven_MageCommunity AnswerMake sure that you are wearing proper equipment, such as knee/elbow pads, and dive properly (on your side, not stomach). Sometimes it's going to hurt a little, it's a tough sport. - QuestionWhat do I do if I don't have equipment?
Community AnswerIt really depends on you. Lots of people don't have resources. Lots of footballers (soccer players) who are now top professionals did not have equipment, but they had resourcefulness. They made the best of what they had. If you're determined and creative enough you will find a way. Look into getting second-hand equipment or borrowing from a friend, for example.
