GOALKEEPERS FOOTBALL OR HOCKEY

 

A goalkeeper has to bear in mind, every goalkeeper concedes goals. 

The important thing is to forget about it quickly and move on. 

If you do that it would help you focus much better.

If you concede a goal and keep thinking about it, you won't be able to perform in the next moment. 

Your biggest quality must be your sincerity. You have to dedicate yourself to improve all the time.

You have to be good in decision making. You have to know the best line you have to take as a goalkeeper, when to come off  the line, how to narrow the angles and how to coordinate with the defenders. 

The need is to keep excellent communication between the goalkeeper and the defence.

They must understand which areas the goalkeeper covers and which areas the defenders should take responsibility for.

The goalkeepers have to be put through goalkeeping exercises by the coaches.

For a goalkeeper, even learning one small skill can make a huge difference. He should have mental toughness. He has to possess a mindset that prompts him to never give up.

If it is hockey, the goalkeeper should constantly work on drag flicks.

Bear in mind it is the goalkeeper who is the last line of defence. 

If he fails, the team fails.
