A Goalkeeper's Guide - Joseph Borkala

Here we are with another guide for football/soccer players. As a goalkeeper you have to know you can't come out of your penalty area/box with the ball in your hands otherwise it'll be a free kick to the other team and a yellow card.

Step One: Positioning

First of all, stand in the middle of the goal, then get on your tiptoes and keep your eyes on the ball. After this watch the player's hips: if they're going backwards they're going to your left their right and if they're facing forwards it's your right their left. To make your positioning absoloutely perfect make sure you bend your knees a little bit and also remember to make sure you put your knee down if they are going to megs/nutmeg you.

Step Two - The Dive (The Best Part!)

To start off partly bend your legs, then get in the direction of the ball[stay on your tiptoes].When the ball comes towards you watch the ball and jump in the direction of the ball.

Step Three - The Save

After palm or catch the ball and then land on your side so you don't get hurt. After that get up as fast as you can and if the get the rebound be ptrepared for doing the whole routine all over again. If not CELEBRATE!
