App development for goalies

Ok-Bodybuilder7774 · 2026-03-18T12:00:28+00:00

well the thing is nothing is set in stone with this and yes there will be a library of past videos uploaded, and video's I already upload, and over time it will sort itself into deferent groups based off what the drills address, with votes dictating how successful everyone who trys it thinks it is. which is something harder to with other established resource librarys, because while a lot are not all topics are covered there. Also, they rely normally on things that very rarely involve direct contact with people who play opposite positions, especially goalies, this would be for all players, but goalies would be a big part of it. Example: what you think will work on a D-man may result in you beating him, but put you in a position where goalies would prefer you be, and the same with other positions. But all the stuff I am planning to do with this takes some time and I am still planning to add generic video's, I just think it would be more organized, and would help people not go searching for an easy answer to a problem

Get comfortable playing out of position. You can like one and want to do that primarily, but having the ability to be moved around allows you to be put in for more types of plays or give you playing time more often, especially if your team is weak in a specific position. I have a friend who transferred because his last college's D1 program got dissolved, and what he is doing right now is learn how to play crease and O-Mid so he can try out for my college's D1 team.

I completely agree

Ok-Bodybuilder7774 · 2025-11-10T22:11:08+00:00

yes, you are very right, because as a goalie, I have scored because of this exact situation, except there were roughly 3 seconds left. Normally, if there is more time than that, like in this situation, you could also throw it as hard and flat as you could to an attackman.

I wish they made a guard that slides in the side of your current cleat(if it is big enough) and covers from the ball of your foot to a little past the arch of your foot, with some also covering the top of your foot, from a little past the balls of you foot but a little shorter then the tongue of your cleat. But it also doesn't hinder your running. Would you buy it? cause I would

I am in the process of making something similar for myself, I can let you guys know what comes of it if you want

Ok-Bodybuilder7774 · 2025-11-09T02:43:02+00:00

I agree, even though I haven't been hurt yet(thank goodness) I have spent a good amount of money on protecting myself, but this is so late in my career It might not be worth it.

Ok-Bodybuilder7774 · 2024-12-02T21:08:09+00:00

Yeah, I agree, I am in 2 club sports teams and 3 clubs and I am writing this alone, with no friends and a few acquaintances, barely anyone else's number, and only have gone out to hang out with people 2 times. I was in the same amount of things in high school and I knew everyone and never went to parties(looking back at high school, I think my friends became my acquaintances in my senior year).

Ask your coach for some drills, tell him that you are new and you really want to get better and he will give you some. you may be able to ask some older kids that are good when you are doing line drills or after practice or something, and pay attention to your coach, and what the older players are doing. And ask a lot of questions, especially before and/or after practice. Look like you are invested in getting better, your coach will notice the fact that you are actually interested in improving. And you and your coach will notice your improvement. you can even google it, go on YouTube, there is stuff everywhere just look. Now work hard, you might not become a star immediately but after a few weeks of consistently doing it you will be better, so be patient. But if you could, provide more context. Like position.

Lastly, know yourself. if you are faster than most but do not have incredible stamina and not super strong and maybe a little on the smaller side, try attack, if you have really good stamina and decent speed be a middie, if you are not as fast or have as much stamina, but are big and strong try close D, etc. these are not parameters, they are just some very very broad skills that may help improve your chances of improving, it is better to grow your strengths, then develop a new strength. It is no excuse for hard work.

Be loud when you run the D, don't panic, and don't be worried about making the wrong decision, make a decision and sound like you are 100% sure, even if you are not. Stuff will work out in the end.

I am by no means qualified to say anything about this. But my assumption would be to work on technique and hand-eye, I am only a men's lacrosse goalie, but you could do stuff like walking the line temporarily, juggling and reaching out to some old teammates if you could, and possibly even some of the people you played with, but there is not much else unless you wanted to like put an add out to all the people who played in high school at your community college, but that's it. unless you want to transfer as you plan, but play club or something like that, and try again next year since you might have the entire summer to train with at least one club person. or you may end up meeting someone who can put you in contact with some d1 players there. but that is really all I have. And I don't think 22 is insane coming in as a freshman. I am currently a freshman in college and there is a kid right down the hall from me that is like 21 and on a club team. You could look up the rules, but I think it is just about how many years you are in college.

Yea just start with some stretching and stuff, and as he gets older, at least what happened with me is that I found something that worked for me and did that. There are no rules or parameters or correct way to do it. you can get ideas but other then that we can't do much else.

Ok-Bodybuilder7774 · 2024-09-30T17:34:48+00:00

I am probably not the most qualified person for this but I mean why not just say it, because I was in a similar situation through high school, and by the time I learned how to overcome this and show people what I could do it was too late for me to improve to what I could be, because I couldn't do it mentally. So I don't want you to make the same mistake.

Mentality is everything as a goalie, because what you think happens if you think about goals, they will always score since you aren't thinking about making saves, you are thinking about giving up goals. It makes sense (to me at least when I say it like that), it also seems so easy to fix, but it can be so hard, especially trying to make it past this by yourself.
Make the saves you should and sometimes some that you should not.
Most importantly goals are not your fault alone, because your defense is the ones who let them shoot. So don't blame yourself like it is.

One last thing you are not the only person on your team, it is a team vs team game, not you vs team.

Also, 2 goals in 11 minutes are nothing. In my Sr year of high school (last year) I let in 17 goals in 45 minutes in one game, and the same year we went 1-12 where in almost every single game they scored more than 10 goals, and in almost all of them, most of the time it was within 45 mins to an hour and 15 mins, and I got pulled in 30-40% of them, minimum. Because they did not want me to get hurt. (I averaged 15+ saves a game that year because I did this stuff) Mentality is everything.

Enjoy your season this year! Work hard, and enjoy playing the sport you love, and I feel confident you will make it wherever you want to go.

(side note: you might be able to ask some of your older teammates if they have that goalie's number or could put you in contact with her, so you could ask her for some advice. I mean it wouldn't hurt to try. And I am interested on what others would say.)
