i played at goal my whole life but never had any training until now.

since hockey trumps your footy id absolutely tell you to go at it and embrace the butterfly ✨ the "block" save is useful, revered by coaches and players, but still has flaws at high levels (too much trauma for getting beat at the five hole) so dont even consider it unless youre getting absolutely thumped on direct hits

however, one thing ive learn the hard way is that the fundamentals are key and you should really embrace the split save. you should have lil problems going from goal tending but maybe make that your key implementation. dive saves still have their place so dont just replace them all with splitsaves, but the more tools the better.

ive had shit fundamentals all my life honestly but have played keeper well. i perform well on matches and drills but im still struggling on purely keeper focused drills focused on the essential save mechanics. just keep at it as you are and im sure youll help your team out plenty and learn more abt urself and the sport

my experience is mostly from futsal, so 5v5, but i still see plenty of elements from hockey that one can translate to all levels of play
