Im proud i visited this channel! Now i could save more goals at training/match!

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

I'm glad you like the videos mate 🙏

[@Doseoffutbol]

Thank you this really helped with my confidence I played really well last weekend so close to getting my clean sheet unfortunately my defender made a howler and I did not get it. I had a lot of big saves and my coach even was talking to me about higher academies I was very excited. A day later I got a terrible virus and I have been out for a week and I am missing my match today. This really helped with my confidence thank you so much and happy late new year!

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy. Thanks for sharing your story, you should be proud of yourself 🙏 I'm glad you liked the video! And hopefully, you'll overcome your virus... best of luck on your next game, and keep pushing! 💪

Such a goated video. I'm a gk and i play for a small academy in my country. But i sometimes get fed up with goalkeeping just because of what other people think of me. But this video is realy helpful so thanks for this underrated video

Thank you 🙏

[@Antonio_0428]

Hi Kristian, great video. You made me think differently about goalkeeping in a good way😁. But I still feel like the comparing is stuck with me, and I know that I should only focus on myself and compete against myself only, but it just happens. 2 years ago, I felt I was the best goalkeeper in my age, and everyone said that too, but now I am just an average goalkeeper who fights through it.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey man 😊 I know exactly how this feels because when I was growing up, I was the biggest talent in the country but then I had a few years where I really doubted myself and my mind played tricks on me. This is also why I never became a pro, I didn't have the mindset. But I kept working hard (even without confidence or believing I was anything) and after a few year when I was around 23 something finally clicked in me. And I have now gone on to have a fine career in my country. Of course, you can come a lot longer than I did. But if you really want to make, you have to shift your mindset into believing that you STILL are the best (without being arrogant) and work HARD - every day. I'd dive into visualization and positive self-talk, this was for me the most important tools to help me become as confident I am today 😊

[@Antonio_0428]

Thank you so much. This will for sure help me. ❤​@GroundGloryGoalkeeping

True. Hard work always beats talent if talent isn't working hard 🙏

[@Faris-oppo]

Thanks mate ❤ i really I benefited from all your work in all the videos ❤😉 , your videos gives me alot of hope that i can be good as you 💕🙏 thank you ❤ 10:03 and here , i actually dont have gloves so i do all with my bare hands :)

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy. i'm Happy to hear that! If you're working hard, I'm sure you'll become much better than me ❤️ And yes, training without gloves is not a bad idea. It really forces you to focus on your technique and not rely on latex 😊💪

[@Faris-oppo]

@GroundGloryGoalkeeping ❤️💞

[@Brawlerno.2Mlbb]

Hey Kristian, thanks to your tutorials, I slowly eased into making really good low dive saves! I am slowly progressing to making high dives but I think an issue that causes my progress to slow down is my reaction time. For eg, when the striker kicks the ball, sometimes I may be slow to react and not be able to dive. Another example is when I can react fast enough but the power step just takes too long(for some reason). Therefore I request that u make a video about reaction time. Thanks!

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy, I answered you on your other comment. But I'll make a video about reaction time, no worries 💪 And for your powerstep: Taking a PS is not always possible. Sometimes, you have to set off directly and other times taking a step with your diving foot towards your standing foot and then set off is the right move 👍

[@Brawlerno.2Mlbb]

@GroundGloryGoalkeeping thank you! It's amazing to look back how I started from diving on my bed and watching your tutorials to becoming a respected goalkeeper. Thanks for your help!

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

haha thank you so much. But yes, everything in goal is about practice, practice, practice. And the beauty is that you can do it everywhere :)

[@Beardmorebros]

Good advice especially as a parent of two young keepers. I have been telling my boys that training in old gloves helps improve their handling so it’s great to hear it from you as they listen to you more than me! Ps His training course is excellent and worth the money.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Thank you buddy 🙏 Thanks for all your support. I love helping your boys 🙏 And yes, having "too good" gloves can actually stall your progress. But of course, having saod that... For matches and when you want to impress someone, good gloves are obviously a lot better than older ones both for confidence and actually catching the ball 😊

[@zakthegamer33]

I am 15 years old and skinny. my teammates make fun of me because I am not strong enough to be a GK. As I think of it, I feel worse and make mistakes So thank you bro for your advice I appreciate it.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy. It sounds to be that you should start hitting the gym or making some home exercises to build your strength and power. AND don't let them get to you. Keep working hard and you'll prove them wrong.

[@zakthegamer33]

I'm using T1TAN Petrol Beast 3.0 Goalkeeper Gloves with Finger Protection. They are a bit more expensive but they fit perfectly on my hands. Do you think I need cheaper one's?

Hey buddy. Of course not. If you can afford more expensive gloves and you really like them, then stick to them 😊

[@De_wereld_redders]

@ Okay thanks for the help! Keep it up!

[@waingbaby]

Hey dude, i'm a teenage goalkeeper and I excel at making low dives and stop low balls. But for high balls, I always concede them even in a distance considered far. I think the issue is my timing. My teammates got upset at that, so how can I improve my jumping and timing and save high balls?

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy. First of all, this is completely normal, so don't stress about it, just work through it. Here's a video that will help you improve your jump height: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2OXiqWshNOMq6c And here's a video on how to high dive: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ7GYn2OqK15aZY I hope this helps :)

[@Hiitsjohn]

Hi im an eleven year old that will go to a tournament soon any tips please?

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey there! That’s awesome you have a tournament coming up - best of luck! Here are some tips to help you perform at your best: Prepare Mentally: Stay positive and confident. Focus on what you’ve been practicing and trust your skills. Remind yourself that every save counts, even if you make mistakes - just move on quickly! Hydration and Nutrition: Drink plenty of water leading up to the tournament and eat balanced meals with carbs for energy. Avoid heavy or sugary foods before the games. Warm-Up Well: A good warm-up is key! Get your hands, feet, and reflexes ready with simple drills like catching, diving, and footwork. It will help calm your nerves too. Stay Communicative: Talk to your teammates during the game-let them know where to position themselves and what you see from the goal. Positioning is Key: Always stay centered in the goal and adjust your position based on the ball's location to cover your angles. Stay Focused: Don’t worry about the score - just take it one save at a time. Even small saves can make a big difference. Most importantly, enjoy the experience and have fun! Tournaments are a great chance to learn and grow. You’ve got this! 🧤⚽💪

Det er meget koldt og jeg er bange for bolden når den kommer flyvende mod mine ben fordi jeg ved det gør ondt hvad skal jeg gøre?

[@FootballFanOk]

Wear a thin pant under your shorts or try to get stronger legs and honestly you're going to hurt as goalkeeper so accept it or leave 💔

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey. Det forstår jeg godt. Om vinteren, så har jeg faktisk tights inden under mine bukser, fordi jeg også hader når bolder rammer mine ben og jeg er kold, dette hjælper mig rigtig meget 🙂

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy, yes, you still got plenty of room to grow. But don't focus too much on your height, you can't change your height. Focus on the thing you can do something about, for example, your jump height and explosivity (plyometrics) and technique (goalkeeper training)

I'll do here🫣

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey, sorry about that - I try to reply to as many comments as possible, but I can’t always get to them right away. What did you want to ask?

[@RANDOMEDITZ-7706]

​@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping I understand, so when I dive to stop a shot, should I punch the ball or put my palm in front of it? And my coach tells me to keep my hand tight, what does that mean and how do I do it?

[@vibremaster239]

​@RANDOMEDI 6:01TZ-7706 Use ur palm. It cushions the shot taking the stimg out of it and is good for the hold. Punching is good for crosses when catching isn't an option If u are gonna punch punch away from players Hands tight I think means to keep them close together In a W shape so it doesn't spill or go through

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey man. When you're diving, you should not try and punch the ball with your first. If you want it to go far away, you should aim to use the wrists (I don't know what it's called). Your coach wants your hands to be tight because right now, they're probably a bit sloppy and when your hands are sloppy, the ball will go right through your hands.

[@IvanLarotonda]

Great explanasion, but your voice hirritate me
