Who Would Be A Goalkeeper?

It's a position that everyone wants to play in training, but no one wants to do in matches. 

Even less so once they get the feeling of conceding a goal in front of all their peers and parents.

It's also a position that is arguably the least supported in terms of training and development and one that they enjoy others whacking balls at them.

Unique Position

The position of the goalkeeper is the most unique on the football field.

Goalkeeping requires a different skillset from all the other team roles, and the position coaches know little about. It can result in needing to learn how to incorporate them within training sessions.

They are often the last thought when planning practices and sessions, other than just sticking them in goal in small-sided games or asking them to save a barrage of shots during shooting practices.

Goalkeepers can then feel isolated and overlooked, missing out on the essential training they need to excel and develop in their role.

Fear Not – MiMentor Is Here To Help!
