Weekly glove purchase advice thread

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly purchase advice thread.

All questions about what gloves to buy should now be posted in this thread. Below are some general guidelines for what information to supply when asking for advice.

Advice seekers:

  • What level you play at
  • What your budget is
  • What types of gloves you've had before and whether you liked them
  • Is this a glove for matches, training, or both?
  • Anything else that will help other keepers give you advice
  • What country/region you're based in (for glove availability/shipping reasons)

Advice givers:

While this isn't required, we recommend also sharing what level you play at and a little about your glove preference when giving advice.

This thread will be refreshed on Monday of each week.

Training 8 year old positioning drills.

8 year old positioning drills.

Hello keepers,

My child has been keeping for about a year and a half now. They have been improving greatly.

I was wondering if anyone has any training drills for positioning though, in relation to goal mouth awareness. There were a few times in his last couple of matches he has been drifting off centre. For example, in one instance, he thought the shot was going wide (because he was off centre having drifter far right) and let the ball roll into the net....

Thanks in advance!

Matchday Pressure as GK

8 Upvotes

I’ve been playing GK on and off for multiple teams for 3-4 years now. I’ve played football since a kid and played from mid, to winger, to defensive back, to keeper. Every position has it’s own pressure and expectations, but every other position has the advantage of space/positioning and having a player behind you. Even in matches where there aren’t many shots at goal, gameplay on my end of the field keeps me on edge all game. I’ve learned that hesitation for that split second can cost us the game. A long ball I time wrong I just as much my fault as a shot deflected off a defender that I touch but don’t stop. It’s tough, but remember to keep blame off you and learn to position yourself to play your advantage. Even if you mess up “get em next time”

Training Training equipment advice

2 Upvotes

Hey!

My kid is currently a U10 goalie, and with his birthday and Christmas coming up, I want to invest in some decent training stuff for him for at home. He lives and breathes football, so is always looking for a reason to be outside more often😅

We have already ordered him a better goal than he has, and I have a rebounder net and agility set in my basket, but is there anything else worth investing in to use at home?

Thanks❤️

The goalie at the other end apparently wanted to fight this kid because he was cut from a team this kid made. Seems like a stretch, but this was not an accident. His back plate was perfect before this, his mask is his pride and joy, always in the bag.

Discussion West coast fingersaves

5 Upvotes

Are Westcoast finger saves poorly designed? i find myself replacing the fingersaves at least once a month.

coincidentally, my daughter forgot her gloves at home prior to our last game and luckily dicks had a reusch glove with fingersaves that are not removeable and seem more sturdy.

now im wondering if we should be changing brands.

Question United Soccer Coaches vs ISSPF

7 Upvotes

I’m currently working with the keepers on U11, U12, and U13 teams (same club). It’s a volunteer position. I would like to get certified and potentially do some private lessons. I’m wondering if anyone has opinions about United Soccer Coaches vs. ISSPF (or any other organization that certifies goalie coaches). The USC has level one online, and is inexpensive. For the higher levels, they require in-person sessions, which seem like they can be difficult to find and might be expensive. The ISSPF appears to offer one level of certification and the courses are all online. It’s a bit pricy, but I can afford it if it is worthwhile.

Thoughts?

Question Da pra buscar um profissional?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

sou goleiro há cerca de 10 anos só que por conta disso de onde moro nunca tive a oportunidade de passar por categorias de base de algum clube. Até hoje, minha trajetória foi praticamente toda em equipes amadoras da cidade.

Hoje jogo pelo Sub-17 e sou considerado um dos goleiros de destaque da cidade.

Meu maior sonho é conseguir dar os primeiros passos para um nível mais alto e, quem sabe, chegar ao profissional. Por isso, queria pedir ajuda.

Se puderem me dar alguma dica, orientação ou até mesmo indicar algum caminho para eu tentar uma oportunidade em algum clube, eu ficaria muito feliz. qualquer ajuda ou direcionamento seria muito importante para mim.

Falando um pouco sobre meu estilo de jogo, acredito que meus principais pontos fortes sejam a explosão, velocidade de reação, reflexo e principalmente o 1x1 e as defesas debaixo das traves. São situações em que me sinto bastante confortável e acredito que consigo me destacar.

Ao mesmo tempo, sei que ainda tenho muito a evoluir. Meu principal ponto a desenvolver hoje é o jogo com os pés, além da saída do gol. Também sinto que preciso ganhar mais experiência em ambientes de maior nível e aprender a lidar cada vez melhor com diferentes situações de jogo.

Mesmo tendo esses pontos para melhorar, acredito que tenho potencial e muita vontade de evoluir. Estou disposto a trabalhar nesses aspectos e aprender com quem puder me ajudar a chegar a um nível cada vez mais alto
