Goalkeeper-specific training
The goalkeeper holds a special position in the team, and their training should be different too.
The goalkeeper is the only player who plays the ball with their hands and often decides the outcome of a match. That is why their preparation should be added on top of ordinary training.
Core skills
- positioning and narrowing the angle
- catching and parrying
- diving and falling technique
- playing with the feet and distributing the ball
- coming out for crosses
Communication
A good goalkeeper organises the defence with loud, clear instructions. This skill can be trained too.
Mindset
Staying calm after conceding is one of a goalkeeper's key qualities. Replace thinking about the mistake with focus on the next moment.
A specialist coach
A goalkeeper coach works on details that general training does not cover. On ScoutPro you find coaches by their focus, including goalkeeper training specialists.
