GK set-position footwork
Being set at the right instant saves more shots than raw reflexes do.
What it works
Calves, Glute med, Quads
How to do it
- 1Move around your goal with small, quick adjusting steps on the balls of your feet, and practise being completely set at the exact moment the striker makes contact.
- 2The cardinal rule is never to be moving when the shot is struck.
- 3Most goals that look like reflex failures are actually footwork failures — the keeper simply wasn't set.
- 4Use cones to force realistic repositioning between serves.
Cues that matter
- ›Small adjusting steps, stay on the balls of the feet
- ›Set as the striker strikes
- ›Never be moving at the moment of contact
