Football or soccer is a popular sport across the globe. It is one of the biggest sports in the world. There are many major leagues in Europe such as English Premier League, English Championship, English League 1, League 2, League 3, League 4, France Ligue 1, Ligue 2, German Bundesliga, Dutch League, Scottish League and other places beside European region like American MLS, Copa Satander in Brazil, and AFC in asia, etc … . Due to the popularity of this sport comes the people who want to be famous and amazing like their idols or football superstars. Those superstars are Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lewandowski, Eden Hazard, Kun Aguero to name a few. To play this game a team has to have 11 players such as 10 field players and a goalkeeper who is the most crucial player in the team. When a goalkeeper knows what he or she is doing and is good at keeping a clean sheet, then the field players will feel safe and confident. However, if the goalkeeper is bad and concedes many goals then the team morale will go with it. To become a great goalkeeper, he or she has to be agile, has good stamina, tall, fit, has good eyesight, and especially he or she has to be brave like a daredevil. To attain those qualities, he or she must train very hard day by day and play in a real match to gain more experience. There are many ways to become a good goalkeeper or goalie. First of all, he or she must have the mindset of a savior instead of a cocky killer or dominator. It means all goalie must have that thought of “ No matter what I must not concede goals by any means ”. With this mindset he or she will only need the skills and training to sharpen the skills and become a great goalie. For some reasons, some people do not have this mindset so they have to think of the phrase above all the time and soon he or she will also have that mentality. Why can’t goalie have the mindset of a cocky person or dominator? If the goalie has this mindset, he or she will tend to want to move up and try to play around more with his or her feet. This is a huge problem for a goalie and he or she could make mistakes and concede goals which will affect the team’s morale.

Second, the goalie should focus on getting the techniques right. Those techniques such as guarding, high diving, low diving, punching, jumping, place kicking, drop kicking, throwing, handling and especially footworks. Why is footwork the most important skill for a goalie? Well, every other skill requires footworks skill and a goalie with good footworks is very useful. They could be a sweeper keeper which involves helping build-up play with the field players. To learn how to guard, he or she must spread their feet about 1 foot and hunch down the arms straight down parallel to the feet. This is used every time especially when it is one on one situation. You have to move up while guarding. To dive he or she must stand in guarding position and then step one foot to the direction of the ball and push your body using that foot and then raise the other foot up knee first and land by laying flat to the ground. And to get good with ball handling, he or she has to put the hand in front of the chest full stretch, then make a “W” shape and keep both hands apart about 2 inches. That is all of the basics of how to be a goalkeeper. With this you can use it and develop yourself from zero to hero.
