Ur incredible, do u have any tips for starting out in gk?

[@joshuacarrizales5041]

Craig Gordon have a confident mind , doesn’t matter if you can’t save like he does right now . And don’t be Afraid to eat some eat dirt and get bruises once in a while .

Practice practice practice. Play as much football as you can, and enjoy being in goal/making saves! That's how you learn! And Joshua is right, stay confident & keep working

Could you possibly make a video based on communication with your team in the near future? It's a point me as a goalkeeper has some problems with.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Yes, I can definitely make one about that soon

Really great video, thank you for sharing this! From watching this, I had a few questions come up. I noticed that for top corner saves, some professional goalkeepers will dive with their opposite hand to the corner while others reach with their near hand. Is reaching with one hand versus the other hand preferable from a technical standpoint for top corner saves? Also, unrelated to this, but I noticed some goalkeepers have some sort of white material around their ankles just as you do in this training. Is this just athletic tape to give ankle support for injury prevention or just socks? Would you recommend applying ankle tape for goalkeeping in your experience? Thank you again for this video!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate! 1) normally depends on the trajectory of the ball, if it is coming down from high, I'll normally use 'top' hand, whereas if it's rising, I'll use my 'bottom' hand. 2) It's just socks that I'm wearing here! And I'd only recommend ankle tape if you're recovering from an injury!
