For starters, one thing you need to remember is that whenever people are talking about “football” they are actually talking about what you know as “soccer.” The United States is really the only country in the world that calls the sport soccer and that’s most likely to avoid confusion with the other American sport known as football. All anyone needs to know going into soccer is that the sport is all about team coordination and skill. Strength doesn’t factor into it nearly as much as you might expect from sports like baseball or football (The American kind, yeah, it’s confusing). And there are absolutely no using hands in the sport. You kick the ball up and down the field and try to get it in the goal. If you’re familiar with Hockey, then you get the idea.

Goalies need to be encouraged to act in practice the way they would in a game. They should attempt to save all balls, despite the odds, and bounce back to their feet as quickly as possible after a save. Good communication is also an important role for a top-performing goalie. The best way to take pressure off a goalie in a game, is to have them religiously demonstrate these characteristics in practice. This way it will become a habit for the goalie to bring a mental intensity whenever he steps into the goalie box.

Physically, a goalie needs drills to stimulate fast-twitch muscle fibers. This will improve reaction time and explosiveness of the muscles. Medicine ball training for the arms, wrists, and hands, combined with fast paced circuit training to stimulate core and leg muscles, will work on these things.

Goalies need to be encouraged to become students of the sport. A motivated, well-trained goalie is a top performing team player!
