The goalkeeper is one of the most important elements of the team in football, as he seeks to keep his sheets clean and thus increase the team's chances of winning the match.
5 Tips and tricks for goolkeaper
We will give some tips that will help the goalkeeper be more comfortable and more prepared for the match, both mentally and physically.
1- Killing the game
When your team is winning or when a draw will be sufficient to produce the desired outcome and you're just focused, end the game.
It's going to be built around wasting time because I'm not giving up a goal, so you guys should know if the ball comes back to your feet and it was an obvious back pass don't pick it up right away because then your six-second clock starts, but you're going to have to get rid of it quicker just keep it at your feet, you can dribble to the corners of the 18 if you want, Just wait for a striker to come and push you to pick it up.
You can distribute the ball and go one step further to allow, for example, that if the ball is coming in just have it sit there in front of you like that and you can just sit here waiting for another striker to come in, say the left striker pushes hard, you just pick up the ball that's going to open up you're left back and you can just beat the ball out wide your team keys possession you took off a few meters.
2- Pregame warmup
You should have planned out how long you want to start before kickoff, how long you want to spend on dynamic stretching, and how long you want to spend dealing shots because your warm-up will be the same thing before every game.
how long do you intend to devote to distribution how you're going to complete these tasks in order?
You need to have everything planned out and follow it pretty close to the minute so that you can start feeling more at ease.
This will also help you get in the right frame of mind before a game because you want the games to feel routine and following the same routine each time will do that for you.
You can even go one step further, which is what the proteins do, what we did in Finland, and what DC United does when I train with them every Friday before a Saturday game. They hold their training sessions the day before a game and perform the same drills, warm-ups, and reps before every match. As a result, they begin their keepers' pregame warm-up a full day in advance.
3- Wash your gloves
The first tip may seem obvious to many of you, but I still see keepers of all skill levels and different ages failing to wash their gloves frequently enough. I would advise washing your gloves every three sessions and washing them the night before every game to ensure that they are as clean as possible.
It will be tougher to handle the ball and will destroy the grip if they have many dirt flecks on them.
It will make the latex break away more quickly, which will decrease the grip and make it more difficult for you guys to catch the ball.
There are products with glove wash that you can purchase, but I haven't personally used any of them. For the time being, I'm just going to teach you how to wash gloves with water and a toothbrush.
Consequently, you should wash your gloves in warm water, if possible, and you can see that using a toothbrush dipped in water to remove dirt is fairly simple. However, you should exercise some caution to prevent tearing any latex, especially when washing the fingers because that is commonly where the latex tears first.
Once you wash them, try to squeeze out as much water as you can so that they dry faster. One thing I'll do after wringing them out just to have them dry a little bit quicker is just stuffing them with paper towels.
There are a few other tricks that you can do to have them dry faster as well.
If you notice that your gloves have like text hanging a bit, just be a little more careful on that spot so that you don't make it any worse.
4- Soft ground
Make sure you're wearing soft ground or metal studs when you're playing on a soft surface because you'll have better footing wearing them and they're made for that kind of surface rather than wearing firm ground that is more for turf or perhaps some dry grass with pretty hard dirt underneath it. Soft ground will also give you much better traction with the ground.
More saves will be made because you'll be more explosive and you won't be slipping as much, which is a major problem when wearing these firm ground cleats on these muddy surfaces. You guys will also feel more comfortable.
Make sure you replace your studs when they become worn out. I discovered this pair of boots or just this one boot on the field a few days ago, and you can see how worn out the studs are.
This won't accomplish anything, you might as well be wearing slippers or a pair of firm ground shoes with this. New studs are inexpensive to purchase. There should be no excuse for you to be giving goals away because you weren't adequately prepared or because you simply didn't analyze a situation correctly and bring the necessary equipment. Make sure you have fresh studs in, especially if it's a wet surface.
5- Finger safes
For those of you who are unfamiliar with finger saves, they are simply a piece of plastic that runs behind your fingers in the gloves just like that.
The idea is that if a ball comes in hard and hits it, this piece of plastic is going to prevent your finger from bending all the way, so the first thing I do, whenever I get a brand-new pair of gloves with finger safes in them, is I just take them out.
I've seen someone break their finger the same way I broke my pinkies—it took flexion and the ball struck straight on, and that will cause your finger to just break right along this line right here, but that's not something that these are going to prevent. In reality, all they do is make it more difficult for you to hold the ball—you don't have as good of a feel because your hands are in a more natural position—and they do nothing to protect your fingers.
