This is by far one of the best explained 1v1-videos out there. Short, consis and visual and still manages to cover the most important aspects about 1v1 - an aspect of the GK that is highly underated and not focused enough on. Well done, keep it up.

[@Alekhine01]

One thing to add to the smother technique is lifting your upper leg to stop a cutback with the ball. Won a lot of 1 on 1's that way. One thing I do not particularly like about the spread save is the loss of mobility. I guess that is why it works right in front of the goal. The real reason I do not use it is that I am nowhere flexible enough to do it anymore (I am 52 and still play indoor). It hurts just to see it. As an older keeper, I have seen how techniques have changed over time. For instance, the way you do a smother save is different now than 40 years ago. I was taught to kind of roll over with the ball in a smother exposing my back (and kidneys) to the player. Although that technique was lots of fun to the extent that your opponents would go flying over you, it really was dangerous! A great point you make in the smother is the more hesitant you are, the more dangerous the save is. If you go in strong, it is the opposing player that needs to worry (and if he is smart--back off). As I am an amateur, it is almost fun to know that a really good player is going to be coming in hard on me because I know then that I have to come on hard right back at him. The adrenaline pumps, and it is game on! Although there are adjustments you have to make going back to outdoor, I really like indoor for getting lots of practice at 1v1s, and of course, you get practice at chaos in front of a goal. Indoor is great practice for reaction reaction saves too. The funniest and most worrisome habit of mine from indoor is that I have to worry about a deflection off the wall hitting me in the back and going into a goal. So sometimes, if I am pretty sure a ball is going over the goal but it might be close, I pull off and kind of duck to avoid the bounce back deflection. Imagine playing outdoor and even slightly hesitating like that as a ball went into the goal! So that is one of the more embarrassing risks of going from indoor to outdoor! (Other big transitions you have to get used to defending powerful crosses and real corners. You just do not get stuff like that in an indoor game.)

[@ConorOKeefe]

What a great comment! Brilliant to hear your opinion on how the position has changed, and the differences between indoor & outdoor football - I'm sure lots of people will take a lot from that, so thank you!

Really helpful video conor ! I think that you do the same fault at the spread technique as I do .

[@melvinlantto7917]

I'm for real mad when I started out with goalkeeping I was always on 1 v 1 I used the spread but my goalkeeping coach said the next year (after I won MVP) that the spread is a useless technique and we should use the smother. I have never liked the smothering technique and have had it hard to be a keeper the last few years. But now it can finally change because now I know that the spread is often the most effective and I don't need to risk my life whenever I make a save.

Thanks mate, welcome!!

[@JasonSmith-zp1gv]

I feel like a lot of young goalkeepers including myself have an issue where we go for the spread save and get rounded, therefore we can’t use our hands to dive on the ball to stop it. I know it happens to me a lot but I also saw it happen to Kyle Cooke( another KZbin GK) and want to know how we can prepare to use the spread save but also be prepared to use dive on the ball in the case that we get rounded

[@ConorOKeefe]

The key is not to go into the spread too early, and also to make sure that you are close enough to the striker once you decide to use it. If you go too early or too far away, it's much easier to go round. The example in the video where they tried to go round me (when I was in blue) shows me trying to get close enough too him to make sure!
