The training of the goalkeeper is unfortunately something which is often forgotten. The attacking players must learn running in, crosses, shooting at the goal and so on and by this the goalkeeper will get a lot of training?????

But is the goalkeeper working appropriate?? Are the hands in the right position???? How about the reflexes??? Does the goalkeeper have the feeling to be trained or is it only the field players which have the attention from the coach???

It is a fact that the goalkeeper is the last line of defense. If this line is weak, the whole team can loose it's spirit. A goalkeeper, who blocks a lot of shots and - at the same time - can bring the ball into play again for a fast break is worth gold.  Consequently the goalkeeper deserves the same attentions as the field players.

Therefore: Train the goalkeeper. It pays off.
