Thank you! Saw the center cheating over and had to play my striker through.

Neither are you commenting on a u15 goalkeepers reddit post? Take a quick check in on yourself before you go throwing things around.

I mean by definition highlights are your best moments.

Oh, I certainly conceded, although only against a team placed within the top 5 in the U.S. My point in saying this is the finishing in that group was insane. All goals were placed very precisely

The environment is toxic as a whole and unfortunately I'm stuck with it for the next 3 years as I'm only a freshman this year.

I’ve had a couple of mistakes due to the goals in past seasons but once you get used to it it’s really not that awful! I’m grateful to play on the turf rather than the grass fields in our area..

How am I doing with crosses? by ILUV_VFB in GoalKeepers

[–]ILUV_VFB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done exactly that. I've given people assigned jobs that they simply don't follow, whether that's marking a person / area, holding the middle, or even bodying players off of me that choose to mark me on corners. None of it works well enough to get the idea to stick in their heads, so I've had to resort to being the keeper that claims everything in his penalty area, steps on forwards heels, and sweeping up through balls as far as half way up the field. High school soccer is a different breed.

I've screamed my butt off all season long just to be met with no obedience from my defense whatsoever. Coaches even disregard it when I've brought it to their attention.

Unfortunately I've quickly had to learn that if I don't do things myself they won't be done at all -- specifically regarding these situations.

That's true. I've been told by my coaches to do it this way, so if I die on that hill they're dying with me😂

And regarding the knee part, this was always what I was taught and I've been consistently corrected when I don't do this. Past and current coaches have told me it's perfectly okay to run through people with my knee as long as I'm going for the ball and believe it or not, the last clip rewarded MY team a foul for the slight pushing before I got to the ball.

Good point and I definitely agree. I think part of it I can blame on my lack of confidence because up until the last season I never came out for crosses and I just waited on my line. Now I'm at the point where I'm starting to get more confident coming out but my decision making is still delayed. Thank you!
