Thanks James!

[@kristianhaborak9380]

10:50 / 18:15 it is best way how to stop ball but i am afraid that ball slip through, can you give me some advice what i should do in this case ?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Sorry Kristian, I'm not sure which bit you're talking about?

[@kristianhaborak9380]

When striker Strike ball on there ground and you stand on your legs and catch ball between legs. I am afraid that ball slip through because between legs is lots of space. Give you some advice how do this properly ? Bend your knees or how i can catch ball not to be reflected

[@ConorOKeefe]

Yes, one way is to bend one knee, and have it behind the ball to prevent it slipping through. But this can sometimes reduce your mobility if the ball changes direction. Another option is to keep practising the technique until you can't get it wrong!

[@noahvanooijen6640]

As long as u keep ur elbows together the ball cant slip through, also make sure u keep ur eyes on the ball untill its in your hands and bring ur chest down over the ball

As you mentioned in Hedera video, why do you need to clean your gloves straight away when you get them?

[@ConorOKeefe]

The way the gloves are made, they have a soap in the latex grip during manufacture. So I've found that washing them a couple of times before you use them for the first time helps to make sure they have the best grip possible, especially if you're going to be wearing them in wet conditions.

Do you still use hedera gloves on Astro because I’m a bit sketched about buying my usual gloves which are the adidas predator pros which are pricey as hell for them to get ripped up on Astro, what do you recommend??

[@BobThebuilder-bg7yc]

Daniel CJ Duckworth I recommend chicken nuggets

[@alexvelez3743]

You should try Aviata or west coast they are amazing for a low price

[@ConorOKeefe]

Yes, my Hedera gloves have been great on Astro, they've lasted a long time, and I train on Astro almost every day. If you fancy a pair, use the discount code GOLDENHERO for 10% off

[@TDEmedia_]

Conor O'Keefe yeah I think I might pick myself up a pair, I was going to purchase a pair about a month ago and they were all out of stock in my size but I saw they get a huge re-stock recently so nows my time

Do a gym video

[@ConorOKeefe]

We're planning on doing one very soon.

[@ahnafulhoque1242]

what is your height?

[@ConorOKeefe]

I'm 1.82m, why do you ask?

[@ahnafulhoque1242]

@@ConorOKeefe just asking. I like to compare my height to other good goalkeepers around the world.

[@ConorOKeefe]

I understand. But don't think too much about height. Try and focus on improving your technique/working on your ability, that should be much more important that your height

[@ahnafulhoque1242]

@@ConorOKeefe I totally agree with you. I am 16 years old and I play for U-19. The manager of my team favors the tall keeper. So i am on the bench all the time during matches. 😢😢

[@ConorOKeefe]

Well, in that case it's your job to work hard in training so that you're better than the other goalkeeper at every other area of the game. Then the coach will have no choice but to pick you
