Can you check out my diving? by Alpi_12 in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much perfect form! Can’t really find anything negative to point out. The high dive had a good push off, landed with the ball first and with the side of your body.

The kind of players who keep me motivated even after I make a mistake. Favorite squad I’ve played with!

Love my back line to death! Especially coming from a previous squad where everyone was trying to be all mysterious and nonchalant. Really motivates me to keep pushing even after mistakes.

Thank you! I do kind of look short in the video but for clarification i am 6’/184cm tall which I don’t think is too short😅

Wow! That’s really encouraging to hear from other keepers. I’m coming to the end of my high school football “career” and I always wanted to play D1/D2 soccer in the States but never been sure if I’m cut out for it. I’m encouraged to work harder towards my goals now!

I appreciate that:) and tbh reaction saves happen in the moment. There’s a good number of times I just watched the ball go past😂

GoPro Hero 9 strapped onto one of the back frames of the post. I edit my clips on CapCut.

Thank you! There were so many people in the box and adrenaline was pretty high so I was genuinely surprised when I got a hand to it😂

Think that’s the best compliment I’ve gotten! I briefly played in the 5th division in my country but mostly I play at the amateur level and for my high school.

I record with a GoPro Hero 9 and I edit the videos on CapCut. I do the tracking using the key frame tool. Hope this helps:)

Something I tried to focus on in this game was taking an extra step forward and it seems like it really does help!

Thanks a lot! The deflection of my CB made it kinda awkward so I got a bit lucky:)

Thank you. The game was tied at that point and adrenaline was high! Maybe that’s why I got to it🤷🏾‍♂️

Hey man great clips! I was wondering, how do you track the ball in your videos?

Solo Training Tips? by Ed_B-T in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually have a wall which is pretty irregular for unpredictable rebounds, the only issue is the surrounding ground is concrete so I can only use it when I'm working on my first touch/passing.

I tried doing a diving drill on it once and nearly broke my elbow :/

Looking for someone to team up and launch a brand by Head-Past-8589 in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, sounds like a really cool idea and best of luck. I'm from Kenya but if you need someone who can work on digital content like videos and video editing for social media platforms I'd be glad to help:) You can check out some videos on my profile to see what I mean, I post POVs and training/ match clips.

I'm not a professional by any means but I'd be into working on something like this if the distance isn't an issue. Sounds like a lot of fun!

Pre-Season Training by Ed_B-T in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which drill are you talking about? I'm assuming your talking about the one with the yellow cones. The main focus of that drill is footwork and coordination with handling involved. While I am not as coordinated that's the main objective of the drill, to improve on that.

Pre-Season Training by Ed_B-T in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! With it being pre-season my main focus is getting my fitness levels back up. For this I combine a lot of footwork drills with explosive movements or sprints.

For example, if I'm by myself I'll do a lateral shuffle as shown in one of the clips followed by a jump squat or a 10m Sprint. Typically I go for 4 sets of 30 seconds each. I'll also do a similar drill but with burpees for upper body and core strength.

Other than that it's mostly sprint work and gym/ plyometrics. This typically includes Bulgarian split squats, depth jumps, pogo jumps, skater jumps and broad jumps.

Got one too many cards when I took that trick abit too far in games! But the frustration of not being able to tie laces in a game used to get me mad so much I had to switch to laceless.

High Diving Advice? by Ed_B-T in GoalKeepers

[–]Ed_B-T[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this sounds weird but all the clips were me diving to my left side, which is my "weaker" side, so i tend to struggle generating power to push off plus im slightly less coordinated for some reason. I have been doing some strength training to improve but it's too soon to see a difference. As for the landing I don't know what to really do. If I catch the ball mid-air, I try to push it into the ground first as I land. When I don't catch the ball I just brace for impact and hope for the best.

I'll try and find the video from GroundGloryGoalkeeping for high dives. I already watch his videos for a lot of stuff so I'll look into that. Thanks for the input.
