⚡️ Nothing but Catches / Handling from games 🖐

#themoderndaygk #handling #saves #gk #gksaves #gkcatch
That’s something we loved seeing Lee do

✅ He’d always want to catch first

This was from the 2016/17 season (this was as much footage on handling from shots as we could find)

We’ve got some other saves and crosses to post later 😃
Some people don’t always appreciate how difficult it is to catch in games:

⚠️ Pace of ball
⚠️ Movement of ball (dip / fade / curl)
⚠️ Match Conditions
⚠️ Obstructed views

If you do catch it, people usually call it an easy / routine save... not that the GK made it LOOK EASY

Is Nutrition The Key To A GKs Concentration❓
 
🧤
It has been shown that on average elite level GKs typically perform 4-10 ‘defensive actions’ per game, all at high intensity.

💥🚀
These actions are very short in duration, often with long intervals in between them. Therefore, whist physical fatigue may not be the issue for GKs during match-play, the ability to concentrate and focus for those prolonged periods, may be the deciding factor.

🍌🍓🥔🍗🥩
In my previous post I highlighted that research indicates that GKs energy expenditure was approximately 600 kcal.d-1 less than that observed in outfield players, for example, approximately 2900 kcal vs 3500 kcal per day.

✈️ Up in the air but how do they land🦵

(Thread)

GKs don’t hop to set. They hop to self organise their body to dive.

You see a “mistake” and look at twitter you’ll find countless theories regarding why that GK conceded which always leads to a technical / physical error. ImageImageImage
But your body will only produce an action as a reaction to what it perceives.

Is the chosen action wrong because of what the brain is telling them to do as opposed to their body “unable to do something” due to set up?

Set up changes according to situation / what you perceive.
So how do people differentiate between anatomical and mental “issues”?

Remember this is just thoughts! But hopefully this thread can give others something else to think about before jumping to a physical fix.

‼️ CONFIDENCE & DECISION MAKING ‼️ (Thread)

Ever noticed that the first decision you make in a game tends to set the tone for that match?
🤔 Come and catch a cross clean and you’re able to dominate your area all game 💪

Get caught out sweeping a ball over the top though and you’re glued to your line for every ball after 😰
We all know how important decision making is for goalkeepers 🧠⚽️

‼️Pre-Match Rituals (2/2) Thread

Part 1 we asked our followers to share their pre-match rituals
💭

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do prior to a game? 🤔

Are they worthwhile exercises that improve performance or do they just serve a superstitious purpose❓
While some rituals are better than others, there is no perfect approach for every goalkeeper ❌

However, our friend The Goalkeeper Psychologist has shared the following top tips to make your pre-match ritual more than just a superstition 🙌
1. Want more consistent performances? 📊

PHYSICAL TRIGGERS 💪

These are the actions which trigger physiological responses that your brain associates with match day ⚡️

Here’s a couple of example of how this can be done:

💥Pre-Match Rituals (1/2)💥

For part 1 of this series we want to hear from all of our followers about their pre-match rituals 🗣💭

From getting a feel of match ball just before kick-off (R. Bürki) to forbidding anyone from touching your 🧤 on the day of a game (David James)
So what are pre-match rituals and what do they do?

Rituals are a series of thoughts and actions that athletes use to trigger themselves into their “Ideal Performance Mindset” 😀😎🤬😱
While some people view these as “superstitions”, the idea is that consistent pre-game markers lead to consistent performances 🤝

These rituals can lead to improved:
- motor control 💪
- cognitive function 🧠
- emotional state 😎
