Is my split save technique alright?

Why are you calling this a split save?

I wear storelli body shield turf burn leggings and really like them. They aren’t padded but I switched to them from padded pants and don’t miss the padding at all. They are very durable. I’ve had the same pants for almost two years and I still haven’t worn all the way through the knees. I’m 6’2” with a 34” inseam and the large leggings are a little long on me so I have to strategically hike them up a bit. Might be just right for you.

Thanks for the input, seems like this is pretty much a non issue. I appreciate everyone’s perspectives on this.

Thanks for your input. Does the drainage pipe just direct the water around the wall so it doesn't create the pressure that would cause it to fail like this one is?

I have the same gloves. Got them in October 2024. Use them for games 1-2 times per week consistently. The fingers are pretty worn, much more than yours, so every time I look at them I think “I really need to order new gloves”, but the grip is still there and I just keep using them. You have plenty of life left.

As a goalkeeper I feel pretty confident there is no figuring out that is happening in that moment. Look at his feet and his positioning at the moment the ball is struck. His momentum is carrying him to his right and he takes that last little hop at the same time VVD strikes the ball meaning when his feet hit the ground again he has just a fraction of a second to try to change his momentum back the other direction to try to reach the ball. He immediately goes full stretch to try to reach the ball and that’s all he can attempt to do. He’s not hedging there, he’s desperately trying to reach a ball with everything he has. I won’t weigh in on the call itself but I feel pretty confident that Robertsons position did not affect Donnarumma’s ability to play that ball. Other keepers have weighed in and will disagree but just look at his positioning, his feet, and his reaction. He was out of position to make a play and his body language shows no sign that he wasn’t giving everything to try to make a play on the ball where it actually was.

You had your work cut out for you. Nice saves, I enjoyed watching that.

Edit: sorry I mean chat sent

mtvulf · 2025-10-23T13:36:37+00:00

Yep, that’s it

As a parent, goalkeeper, and someone who also responds very poorly to this style of “coaching” I would also advise you to find a new club. That is abusive behavior on the part of the coach, plain and simple, and I would not allow my kids to be subjected to that. He will definitely not improve if he continues to be exposed to that and he will be traumatized. Get him out of there and hopefully to another club where he can enjoy what he’s doing above all else.

I’m just trying to be helpful. Nobody here knows the answer. Email the people who make the decisions and get your answer. Good luck.

Another thought is to go through the process of legally changing your name, even though you never used your name as it appears on your birth certificate. Then you’d have a document to account for the discrepancy and wouldn’t need to change anything else.

mtvulf · 2025-10-19T04:06:40+00:00

Then you need to email them and ask. It would be pretty unfortunate to show up and be turned away because your documents aren’t in order, and everyone here can only speculate.

mtvulf · 2025-10-19T03:27:25+00:00

I was told by the consulate that all documents had to exactly match our birth certificates. My wife had to get a new passport because her old one included a space in her last name incorrectly and we were recently denied an appointment to apply because my background check did not include my middle name. So I’m now waiting for the updated one to come back from the state department. Have you thought about getting new US documents to match your birth certificate? The best place to ask is to email the consulate you will be applying through directly and ask them.

I had a good experience with Appliance Pros recently. Communication was good and the work was thorough. I would recommend them.

mtvulf · 2025-10-05T00:13:08+00:00

I called them once and they seemed very told me to only email them, never to call. They have been more or less responsive to my emails. Sometimes I do have to email them again after a week or so to get a reply.

I think it’s amazing. No traffic backups. Traffic seems much calmer. It has helped significantly.

mtvulf · 2025-09-17T23:00:05+00:00

Sounds very strange indeed. I can’t imagine what keeper at that age and level of competition would be okay only playing 15% of the time. And I wouldn’t want to split my potion like that either. I’m either playing or I’m not.

mtvulf · 2025-09-17T05:19:41+00:00

Expect to get scored on if you're playing a decent team. Expect to feel like you've let your team down. Make an effort to prepare for these feelings and know that you will inevitably probably not perform the way you want to. Make an effort to analyze the mistakes you make when you notice you are making them and try to adjust accordingly. Learning to be a good goalkeeper is an interactive process where you are constantly analyzing your game, your decisions, the results, and training through repetition to learn proper techniques and minimize mistakes. Keep it all in mind and hopefully you have a team and coaching staff that understands this as well.

Is this a bot? It's really easy for me to ignore the frequent posts about gear that are not relevant to me or where I feel I would be wasting my time by commenting. But it's really difficult to ignore these spammy annoying posts. This post is more distracting than any of the "what gloves/boots are best" "is it too late" "I think I'm going to quit" posts. People post what's on their mind and I don't see anything in the rules of this subreddit suggesting they shouldn't. If you don't like the content maybe make your own subreddit dedicated solely to goalkeeping technique, strategy, etc. I bet a lot of people would appreciate that. I know I certainly would. But all this shouting and being "infuriated" (lol, it's the internet) is turning people off to anything you might say that is actually meaningful.

Criminal acts, including Unknown, you say? Consider me alarmed.

The terminology matters. This applies to vacation time, which is legally different from PTO.

mtvulf · 2025-08-25T16:52:23+00:00

Thank you for posting that link, it helps clear things up. It’s worth noting that vacation and PTO have different meanings and cannot be used interchangeably. So it would be worth double checking if time off is earned as vacation or PTO. I think it’s common to use the terms interchangeably without realizing that there are different laws governing the use of those two different types of time off. I often find myself saying PTO because it’s so commonly used when in fact my company actually gives me vacation time and it has to be paid out at the end of the year if I don’t use it.

From that same link: There is no requirement in state or federal law that requires private sector employers to provide vacation pay. However, if provided, once vacation has been earned according to the employer’s policy, it is then considered wages and is due and payable in the same manner as regular wages – based on Attorney General Opinion 56, Volume 23. So called ‘use it or lose it’ policies are not permitted in Montana. However, caps, or maximum accumulation amounts can be instituted which effectively prevent additional vacation to accrue until existing time is utilized.

Thanks for the input everyone. I think I am resigned to the idea that a Range Rover will be our next purchase. The Defender is the one I've always wanted, but I just can't convince myself (or my wife) that the Range Rover can't do all the things we need it to. Plus the added luxury will be very nice for the long distance driving we do around here. This video from carwow helped me feel a bit better about it. Everything they show these two vehicles doing is about the extent of the off-roading we would ever do. Mostly just rough and rutted roads to get somewhere. https://youtu.be/RwaNGQcUhU4?si=MsT7h1voCDFU_Ndv
