GK distribution
The modern keeper starts attacks — distribution is half the job.
What it works
Hip flexors, Core, Shoulders
How to do it
- 1Practise the full range: flat, fast throws to feet, rolled balls to a full-back, driven kicks over a target and clipped passes into midfield.
- 2Scan the pitch before the ball reaches you, not after.
- 3The modern goalkeeper starts attacks as often as they stop them, and a keeper who can play out under pressure changes how the whole team can set up.
Cues that matter
- ›Scan before you receive
- ›Throw flat and fast to feet
- ›Kick over a set target, not just far
