Goalkeeping Tips
These pages hope to give as much information to the goalkeeper as possible.
Goalkeepers are a breed apart - some would say mad. Keeping goal is a highly technical and much valued job, and the mad label reflects the lengths to which the keeper will go to protect his/her goal. Most real goalkeepers place a clean sheet before personal safety, and therefore non goalkeepers who do not share the same obsession question goalkeepers sanity.
It is a joy to coach goalkeepers, whether it be one-to-one or as a group. There is a certain camaraderie and work ethic amongst them. A goalkeepers union as it were, where despite being the keenest of rivals they leave the field being the best of friends.
It can be a lonely position and the greatist of concentration and mental toughness is needed to deal with being the last line of defense.
