goal keeper training closed eyes !!

[magnusneuer15]

this is shit!

[patar49]

how would this help a keeper??

[nicolaiaquilina]

@patar49 I used to do this alone and helped me in gripping !

I don't know why but before doing this I used to punch the ball a lot even when I could catch it.

This method helped me a lot ( even If I was going to break my nose doing this stuff )

*sorry for my bad English*

[acerati50]

is this in juarez???

[aymanx]

no, It is in Syria

[mightypk4rr]

[hugovallarta]

[quack18]

wow, this really helps a goalies anticipation skills. Good goalkeeping . even if its routine, i thin its very tough to anticipate the time and direction of the boal, and also be aware of the position of ur body . good goalie

[dardilio]

How can you calculate the direction and the estimated time of the ball arrival if you can't see? It's fairly useless.

[aymanx]

did you ever see basketball players that are very good in scoring and sometimes they throw the ball very fast and with a defense player blocking them from seeing the basket and they still score ? if your answer is yes, then the reason behind is training.

[aymanx]

this goal keeper is now on the list for best player of 2008 for Asia !!

[misterribs]

the purpose of this drill was actually for the goalkeeper to catch the ball right.

at professional level, the ball goes so fast, even the keepers eyes cant follow it. this is to ensure that the keeper can control the ball right, without looking at the ball, just like in a top level match.

there you go.

[Thinladia]

Thats the point! Its an excersise, i use in my Goalie-Training too. Its essential to anticipate the ball and as Misterribs already said:

"the ball goes so fast, even the keepers eyes cant follow it."

[g991]

Excatly

[Thinladia]

*laughing* I'm wondering why I get these bad ratings :D

[khaaai]

ill be honest with you. my other account is misterribs and ive been clicking thumb ups for tt comment everytime i come here, as well as put thumbs down for every other comment.

sorry.

[aymanx]

I totally agree with you, your answer matches what I thought about it. thanks for your comment

[francisconejo]

it improves the reflects of the goalkeeper and made his or her to feel the ball and hold rigth

[Brad02150]

Lol I'm gonna try that, looks pointless but fun!

[juicycoutureiscool]

this is quite a pointless drill but it looks cool nd hard!!

[spicyrockstar]

i did this

its hard

its suposed 2 teach u how 2 land adn antisapate the kick

[MROMANOVator]

its so that you focus on other aspects of your game, such as landing right, feelign the ball right, etc.

[bigboyjack0]

i agree with angel... how the f... can this help in a game situation... just keep ur eyes on the ball

[angel6157]

this is so gay how can you get better wit this drill your supposted to keep your eyes on the ball its not like your ever gonna use this in a game what are u supposed to do use your senses to catch the ball use your hand eye cordination not senses.

[yid1102]

This is the worst drill I hav eva seen!! As a keeper meself, if a coach asked me 2 do this id fink wtf!!?? This teaches u nothin, not reflexes cos u cant c shit, not to 'feel' the ball as it is all down 2 the server 2 get it rite in2 ur hands!! Pointless!!

[soctman]

This is excellent! I've never seen this done before!

[narj10052]

this is the worst thing i've ever seen, (show batman some respect douche

[flothecrazyrocker]

This training is just for getting the feeling ´when you have to catch the ball.

[Nickoteen0]

WTF

[GoalkeeperCoach]

For all you goalies and coaches: I found this great site with tons of free goalkeeping drills and tips at goalkeepersEtc dot com.

[craxa1]

nice!!!

[miss1star]

dayuumm

[SLOBKILLAcripFORMULA]

dat increases ur reflexes i think

[Thinladia]

It can't increase the reflexes, because a reflex (action with arms in this case) requires the information given from the eye. There is no opportunity to get any information from the eyes, because the goalie has a mask on. It increases the skill to catch balls WITHOUT eyes. As already said in here: Some balls in Pro-Leagues are as fast as no human eye can follow it. The human eye is able to make I think 10degrees per 1/10 second in a controlled way, which is too slow for a hard shot. cYa

[crazypt99]

good goalie! bravo!

[lumex16]

ha i could do that blindfolded:P!!

[tastegoodonthebun]

to add on to the reaction its training a differnt sense to get block the shot other then sight

[adlsjf]

i think what they're trying to do is cut out the decision making process, so that going for the ball is not a decision, just a reaction. also its cutting out a major sense, sight. the coach is probably trying to make his keeper balance better too.

[hargfacewisdom]

what good is that for actual play?

still cool tho

[tonv4]

really cool!

[tonv4]

wow
