Dear Kristian i bought your program it was exactly what i needed because i always wanted to train more and more effectively but my friends wouldn't train with me after a month i can see improvement in my diving and jumping an positioning thanks for your efforts♥️🙏🏻

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

@@Ariagoalkeeper49 Hey ☺️ Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate it 🙏 Yes, I put a lot of time and effort into this program. And in the future (when I get time 🙈), it will only be better. Thanks for trusting me, and let's keep improving 💪❤️

[@elysian_spartan117]

I love your content man. Im in 7th gade and on my jv team and i cant dive confidently yet but ive definitely gotten better because of you, I'll update on the dives

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

That's great to hear! Keep training hard! And thanks for letting me know :)

I've purchased the program 3 months ago, and I can highly recommend it. We have a super nice community and you get a lot of personal feedback on questions and videos. It is definitely money well spend, and for me the community and the feedback is priceless

Hi Kristian! I improved massively from your goalkeeper tips. Can you make a video about how to balance properly in your set position, because when i face a shot i feel that i'm not properly set when the striker is about to shoot? What do i have to change the hands position, the stance width or the body position? Thank you so much.

[@JuanLopez-pj9se]

Excellent video!! Thanks!! How does the power step foot work in the low dive? Is it the same or does it have some variation?

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Thanks a lot 🙏 Yes, the power step works in a similar way when diving low. The most important thing is getting down low. I don't know if you have already but this video explains the low dive in great detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moGbdWWMrbydnqs ☺️

[@JuanLopez-pj9se]

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping Thank you!! My big doubt is the foot of power step. Greetings from Uruguay.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Well, it's basically the same, but instead of launching upwards, you spring downwards. The most important thing about the low dive is to GET LOW before you dive and keep your lower hands as close to the ground as possible.

[@YasinAli-t9x]

Would you have any tips on diving on concrete

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy, I have never played on concrete but I can't imagine that's the best place to dive. I'm thinking a lot of protection 🫣

[@OliverCetin]

Hey man love your videos im a gk who was injured whole of last year ( ankle issues) and i feel more motivated than ever but i get lots of pain in my knees and hips from these drills. Do you have any good leggings or tops to wear? Thanks

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey buddy. Well, I'm actually playing on a really hard pitch, so I know exactly how it feel. I mean, you will sometimes feel some pain here and there, that's unfortunately a part of goalkeeping, but if you do it right, you'll feel a lot less. So I'd say keep doing them until you're absolutely nailing the technique. Now, for the clothes I wear. I have really good leggings, yeah... but they're super thin so they don't take much of the impact. I also wear these normal sweat shirts - nothing fancy. If you know that you're going to dive a lot, wear more than one pair of leggings or buy some with really good padding. You even get suits that have padding everywhere. If I were you, I would invest in one of these :) Hope this helps :)

[@OliverCetin]

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping thanks coach appreciate the advice and I'll keep pushinh

[@FrostArchon]

I normally play in a smaller 7v7 pitch with a much smaller goal. I've noticed that shots come at a relative shorter range and I'm unable to get down low fast enough with my hands and conceding a lot of goals that come in low. My teammates always complain that I should use my feet to save more. Any tips for people playing in smaller fields and goals?

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey man, great question! On smaller pitches, shots come fast and low, and sometimes using your hands isn’t the quickest option. Your feet can actually be your best friend here! Try these tips: Use your feet: Practice reacting with your legs for low, close shots - it’s faster than going down with your hands. Stay low: Keep a slightly lower stance to react quicker. Read the situation: Try to smother the ball by rushing out before the striker can shoot if he's too close. AND Footwork: Keep training those side-to-side movements. I hope this helps :)

[@FrostArchon]

​@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping Thanks for the tips! I've been following your channel since the beginning and glad to see it grow! Really great videos.

[@Ksports777]

hi when i save shots i sometimes hurt my elbows or wrists (not from diving) do you know what can help prevent that? thank you and keep up your great work.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey, thanks for the support! Hurting your elbows and wrists during saves (even without diving) can happen if you're not absorbing the impact properly. A few things might help: Hand positioning: Make sure you're using proper hand technique, like catching with soft hands and cushioning the ball rather than keeping your hands rigid. This helps absorb the impact better. Strength training: Strengthening your wrists and forearms can make a big difference. Doing exercises like wrist curls, grip strengtheners, and forearm stretches will give you more control and support. Wrist supports: Some goalkeepers use wrist wraps or supports for added protection. It might help prevent the strain you’re feeling. Let me know if you try these out!

[@Ksports777]

[@KalebLee-p7u]

Hello! I have a few questions to ask. 1. I bought the Rectrix 1.0 gloves that you use in your videos, and they are perfect. However, can you tell me how to wash it without damaging the latex? 2. Can you recommend me a cheap but good pair of aqua grip gloves? It would also be great if you told me about good glove sites. 3. Can you tell me another pair of gloves you use and like? Some that you either use in videos or matches.

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Hey man :) 1. I'm glad you like the gloves. They're the best value-for-money gloves I've ever tried, and I normally use these in training. For cleaning: What I do is wash them after every practice; normally, I just take them with me in the shower and rinse them while talking with the other players, and after that, I hang them up to dry in the dressing room. And when I come back to train the next day, they're nice and moist and perfect for use :) What do you currently do? 2. To be honest, I think "aqua" gloves are just a marketing trick. I don't believe in that stuff. I use the same gloves for rainy and dry days. 3. Yes. Elite Sport is a really good brand. I mostly use them for matches. I'm not really sure what they cost but I don't think they're super cheap. BUT. I also know that Rectrix is working on a more high-end glove, and if they're as good value for money as these are, then I'm really looking forward to trying out those :)

[@KalebLee-p7u]

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping thank you so much for the response. I am wondering about those other pairs (other than rectrix gloves) that you are using in your other videos. Can you tell me the names of them and if they're good?

But diving will or not make us hurt in knee? Thats why i dont die

[@akashchawla145]

Sorry not die its dive

[@GroundGloryGoalkeeping]

Diving can be hard on the knees if you’re not using proper technique or protection, but it doesn’t have to hurt! Here’s what you can do to dive safely: Wear Knee Pads: Investing in proper goalkeeper pads can reduce the impact on your knees during dives, especially on harder surfaces, and while you're still working on your technique. Perfect Your Technique: Focus on landing on your side, not directly on your knee. Use your hands and arms to cushion your fall, spreading the impact across your body. Practice on Soft Surfaces: Start practicing dives on softer ground like grass, turf, or even mats until you’re confident with your form. Once you feel more comfortable, diving can become a fun and powerful part of your goalkeeping! Keep practicing, and don’t hesitate to reach out for tips on improving your technique. 💪🧤
