The Last Line goalkeeper coaching week reached its halfway point today on a very sunny Wednesday afternoon.
Topics of the day included; dealing with crossed balls & 1v1 situations. It is important to remember that a goalkeeper is very rarely going to face the exact same situation twice. The ball is going to be flighted in at a slightly different angle when it is crossed, each attacker will react differently in a breakaway situation. It is up to the individual goalkeeper to practice building upon the proper technique taught by the coaches and apply it in his/her live games.
As the saying goes - Practice makes permanent, so ensure your training incorporates the correct technique as this will stop bad habits forming.
Coaches Challenge Score -
Keepers 2 - Coaches 1
Statisticly it SHOULDN'T of happened. The odds were heavily stacked in the coaches favour; age, experience, adaptabiliy, agility, intellegence & good looks...
The keepers went first. They managed to score a total of 2 points. This underwelming amount seemed too good to be true for the coaches as they stepped up. Maybe it was a change in the wind direction, or some unknown outside influence, but the coaches scored only 1 point.
This means the keepers take the lead for a second time. The confidence of the coaches has certainly taken a knock, and outside sources claim they were spotted perfecting their strikes till 9pm tonight in anticipation for tomorrow's challenge. Watch this space!
