Hey,Im having troubles stepping into the ball. ( first time playing goalie cuz no one on our team decided to step up to play it). stepping into the ball seems like something i just forget to do. I was wondering if u had any tips for me.

@cod4noob You will only be able to step to the ball once you have had enough repetitions and your body knows how to do it. As a new goalie you are focusing on so many things that you actually do forget to step. It's not an uncommon thing. After lots of repetitions your body will step naturally. Have your shooter in warm ups shoot to a specific spot so that you know where the ball is going. You'll be stepping to all shots soon enough.

@cod4noob I had the same Problem like you, but my Coach always remembered me. STEP, STEP, STEP and last match I stepped.

@cod4noob Ask somebody to through tennis balls at you. Step into those. They wont hrt as mush as lax balls. Continue to just getting hit with these and then transition into lax balls.
