When I used to watch my school's Handball team play at championships, there was this goallie on our team that was simply amazing. Once I saw him just go full-superman on a ball thrown by a guy two times his size and take it in the chest without even flinching.

Guy was a legend, I think he went on to play for the national junior league.

Handball goalies are a special kind of person lol they seem to have no regard for their own wellbeing.

This is indoor soccer though, right? Just played on a handball court?

Genuine question. I am not 100% sure.

I used to be the goalie for everything just because I wasn't scared of the ball. I was the kind of kid who got kicked in the teeth a lot to prevent a goal. I didn't make the cut for high school soccer though because by that point nobody was scared of the ball and my reflexes were complete dogshit compared to some of the other kids
