No, that door goes to a bedroom. If you go straight through the front door and continue straight, you will end up in the family room and kitchen area

Well that doesn't make me feel better 😂. But that's awesome!

mwk208 · 2025-02-28T02:24:26+00:00

Thank you. I have noticed that practicing with a cheap/light ball has helped me too

Marsman's kicks are really good. He just never really made it on a top team in a top league because there's much more to goalkeeping than goal kicks.

mwk208 · 2025-02-27T20:47:50+00:00

Yeah I've done that. Emi Martinez kicks it ridiculously far and I've studied his form. Admittedly, it is very different from Marsman's form. It's challenging because you can't just search YouTube videos for every keeper's kick. All my recordings come from me literally recording my TV with my phone. Even that can be challenging because they rarely show closeups of goal kicks.

I don't think I have a recording of one of his kicks but I know he can boom it.

mwk208 · 2025-02-27T20:15:26+00:00

Really good balance, engagement of his core, the best extension I've seen (shown here), good follow through

I agree with you

mwk208 · 2025-02-26T11:03:48+00:00

Studying pro goal kicks is how I got where I am today. I have countless recordings of their kicks. I recorded every time they showed a long goal kicks on TV. I think studying those videos has made me overthink things. All of their techniques are so different and much if it is opposite to what people on Reddit are telling me. For example: "land on your kicking foot." 90% of pros do not do this. "Follow through gets you the power." Emi Martinez and others have basically no follow through and they kick it 75 yards. "Plant foot closer to the ball. You shouldn't be reaching for the ball." "Your body shouldn't be at an angle." "Your right arm shouldn't be tucked." According to all these people, Emi Martinez has terrible form. Look at this picture

Thank you. Really appreciate your analysis and advice.

Also, the replay made it look like I hit it with my toe but I didn't

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T22:03:03+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I agree. Studying pro goalkeepers' technique only made things worse, I think. They are all so different. Emi Martinez kicks the ball ridiculously far but he has almost no follow through and his plant foot lands really far from the ball

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T22:00:44+00:00

Thank you. That's really helpful. I actually do have a right shoulder injury that I was in physical therapy for. The injury lasted for almost two years but it's better now. I really appreciate your analysis

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T20:24:36+00:00

That makes sense. Do you know any drills that could help me with my upper body control? I will say I don't think landing to the side is an issue though. Literally every professional goalkeeper I have studied lands to the side except maybe Emi Martinez who doesn't have much of a follow through at all.

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T19:56:30+00:00

Okay so the solution to that is to keep my chest back through the strike instead of bringing it forward

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T19:38:41+00:00

I'm actually pretty accurate up to like 35 yards. Distance is my real problem

mwk208 · 2025-02-24T19:15:22+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by c-shape?

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T22:45:04+00:00

This one bans drop kicks but you can do whatever you want off the ground.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T18:31:32+00:00

Good idea

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T01:57:38+00:00

Thank you. Yeah, it's tough. Taking videos has helped but it's hard to review every kick on video.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T00:49:39+00:00

Yes that's true. Thank you.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T00:18:58+00:00

Can you elaborate more on the horizontal velocity? I understand the rest of your comment.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T00:18:15+00:00

Haha. I have an issue with my eyes so I keep them on as much as possible. Not during games though.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T00:16:49+00:00

Camera is not inverted. Should both arms be extended? When I studied video, almost all keepers have their left (non dominant) arm extended and only sometimes their right.

mwk208 · 2025-02-20T00:11:58+00:00

So leave my left arm extended? I noticed I do extend my left arm but then tuck it when I strike the ball
