[ExpertDude13]

I never knew about the semi circle thing I always stand at the goal line. No wonder I let so many goals in. Thanks!

[anas7896]

nice birds sound

[rayhan347]

ur goal is lo long?

[HLGoalkeeper]

they wont think you suck if its a fraking solo or 2 v 1,that would be deffense fault or they will if its a freaking esy ball to block

[1mannylocz]

Your right positioning is everything for a GK

[JackoMW]

If you can dive, and leap, theres not a great deal in positioning, if you have a shit dive but good positioning, you'll let more in than if you have a good dive and shit positioning.

[eliasmunoz19]

[19goalkeeper]

@RBTopaconlared what the hell do you even mean?

[thelaxgod21]

dude honestly, you did not do a good explaination on why goalkeepers take away the near post.

[19goalkeeper]

@thelaxgod21 who cares why, just do it

[FreckledFilms]

nice, this video got featured

[TheFlareFactory]

nice, iv got a game comin up and iv never playd in goal in a game and i am 2mrow because our keeper wont be there so my coach figured that i would be the next best. thanks! this video helpd alot!

[REACT562]

i dont feel comfortable being like 4 stteps out of the goal line like how you are ill only go far out as i step or 1 and a half.....no more futher

[19goalkeeper]

@REACT562 i can understand the insecurity of not wanting to come that far off your line. There is no absolute right way to be a goalkeeper and if it works, don't fix it. If you're having problems against good shots, try coming out a little bit more. When you come off your line, its a matter of how much space they have to shoot at versus the amount of time you have to react. You want to find balance between both of those

[REACT562]

@19goalkeeper the reason i dont like to is because i have less time to react when the ball is closer to me....when i see the shot from afar then i know how far i have to fly...only time i go out is when i absolutely have to.....

[cristianxax8]

nice video ty

[MrChops46]

to be honest i hate americans and there football or soccer its seriously shit, leave it to the europeans and you can go back and play baseball or watever because american soccer is fucking shit and so are you!!

[19goalkeeper]

@MrChops46 go pms somewhere else

[Silky1980]

I like this. No overrehearsed hollywood saves, pretending to be the greatest goalkeeper in the world, just a normal guy, who plays in goal, givin some straightforward, easy going, advice. Like it. I know all this, or so I thought, as a goalkeeper of 15 years myself, but always nice to learn, your never to old to learn!

[19goalkeeper]

@Silky1980 thanks thats what i try to aim for

[ManUnitedFC123]

is this woodson high school?

[19goalkeeper]

@ManUnitedFC123 lol no

[MrBtnh94]

bloody hell size of the bloody goal

[andyjm09]

Come out at the striker shilst staying in line with the ball with an imaginary straight line from the ball through your legs to the centre of the goal will keep you in line with the ball and always dive forward because you can cover more of the goal much easier.

[19goalkeeper]

@andyjm09 exactly =)

[TheMAKTASTIC]

THANK YOU 

[ilovmanu]

theyd skim apast you and score the only way your bigger is you coming closer to the camera you suck :)

[19goalkeeper]

@ilovmanu lol thats what i'm trying to teach is covering more of the goal by coming off your line a bit

[ilovmanu]

@19goalkeeper :(

[SuperKarlo97]

it depends how far is the shooter, he can snap the ball over you

[r0ckandrollTV]

no editing, its not uncut

great!

[ButchKing01234567]

great vid. keep it up

[ccsatddy]

great vid is that the pitch you play on? it sucks lol

[mouzata]

@ccsatddy You should come to Bulgaria then :D

[19goalkeeper]

@ccsatddy thankfully it's not, it's just close to where i live so it's easy

[pumaspop]

thats true

[jaxsoccer07gk]

and uh... and uh... uh..

[19goalkeeper]

@jaxsoccer07gk hahahaha yeah i know i've kinda got a problem with that. i just came up with what i was teaching and that kind of thing as it was being shot, thats why it sucks so much

[liverpoolfan2525]

@jaxsoccer07gk dont see u going out and making a video prick

[hotpeppermovie]

essential for goalkeepers : 1. eye 2. brain 3. legs 4.hands hohohohohoho

[hotpeppermovie]

yeay! i am the next petr cech! :D thx dude.

[VIVAKARMNU]

im the best goal keeper

[Sh4un1r1k]

Thanks for this informative vid. I need help as I only play in 5a side goals. I've never had experience covering a full goal. How would i deal with lobs and what's the fastest way to get across the goal? Thanks.

[winky4ever]

Well the last thing u said, i dont agree.

They very often looks for attackers to pass the ball.. And then its just better to go out 1-2 meters and box the ball, if u take a few steps to the center of the goal u watching the whole goal..

If u was thinking that the guy with the ball was close to u then step out a few meters towards him.

Just my point of view.

[19goalkeeper]

@winky4ever well true. if two attackers are coming out, they'll look to pass if it's easier for them. When you're in goal you have to be aware of how many attackers are coming in to the center of the box and if they're guarded or not. The biggest threat is the guy with the ball so you have to play him and if he gets the pass off to the dude in the center then oh well

[TheMikeelikeeu]

@19goalkeeper your so wrong

[static1200]

nice. Informative...

[basingstokebisons10]

and there completeley screwed lol:L and eveyone will think you suck! lol

[LeonTuberman]

You were very informative. This video helped refresh my positioning skills. Can you give any tips about corner shots/crosses , chip shots, and one on one with a striker? Thank you very much.

[19goalkeeper]

i'm going try to make videos on these topics but i've been on the road too much with my church and personal activities

[pero247]

your gonna suck if you suck at positioning! HHAHAHAHA thats hilarious but true

[90443308]

how tall are you man?? u look lik a 6 footer...

[19goalkeeper]

haha yea i am, i'm 6'2" and i'm only getting taller

[MuHaMmAdZaKi96]

hey.

thx for ur lesson..

i got 2 clean sheets in a row.

thx!

[Jord4nRV]

my only problem is (im not a real goal keeper i just play for my school lol) when then come in real close infront of me and i go out to them u think thats best thing? cus most of the time they flick it past me and then score, pls help =]

[19goalkeeper]

well that's a different catagory called charging. It really depends, are they on break aways when you go out to meet them or is your defense right there with the attacker? If it is a break away, you're doing the right thing by charging the player because thats your only option and that will be a goal well over half the time, theres just nothing really effective you can do about it. If the defense is with the attacker, hold your ground, shift your positioning if necessary, and wait for the shot

[theman0818]

its better to charge to them if you are the last man before the goal, or you'll be a sitting duck waiting to be scored on.

[FistofRevan]

good job

[ashhole11]

Well done best lesson i've seen, it's amazing how there are no good vids on goalkeeping on youtube.

[19goalkeeper]

Thanks, I just randomly searched for how to goalkeeper videos and I didn't see any and being a goalie myself, I felt like I had to share my experience

[thevoid0111]

wow ur a good teacher
