I feel you! I struggled for soo many years, untill I decided to do something about it. My problem was mostly mentally. The key is to focus on the technique and PRACTICE! ☺️ Thank you 🙏
I usually play on concrete field as a GK and I could not really get that much distance. Does the material of the field affect the height and distance of the ball that much?
Hey man! Sorry for the late response. I must have missed this comment! The material of the field affects the height and distance A LOT, yes. If you play on concrete, it's difficult to get on the ball, and you're stand foot is not as steady when kicking the ball...
I have a question A lot of other tutorials tell to strike with laces and other with the bone. Personally i use laces but if its incorrect technic i can change it
Great question! When it comes to striking the ball, both techniques (laces or the bone of your foot) can be effective, but it depends on the type of kick you’re aiming for. Striking with the laces: This is typically used for more powerful shots (like long goal kicks and clearances). Hitting the ball with your laces allows you to generate more force and height. If you're comfortable with this technique, keep using it, especially for longer goal kicks. Striking with the bone of your foot (just below the big toe joint) is more commonly used for passing and accuracy - it's also a lot safer as the kicking surface is larger. This gives you more control over placement but less power than laces. If you’re already comfortable using your laces for goal kicks, you’re doing it right! Just make sure you're striking through the ball cleanly and following through. So, you don’t need to change your technique - just use the right one for the right situation! 💪⚽
That's a really good question! Is this especially from goal kicks? Why does he play short? Is it because his goal kicks need some work? Or is that the style your coach wants you to play? I can only speak from my experience as a goalkeeepes. But I always make sure that my defenders are in position and ready to receive the ball - unless we're behind and we're short of time. If that's the problem, then talk to your goalkeeper and tell him that he has to wait 2-3 seconds longer before he passes you the ball. If you're just struggling to find options, talk to your coach first. Ask him to help you. But when you are in position and ready to receive the ball, always scan the pitch: 1) where's the pressure coming from? 2) where are my team mates? 3) what options do I have? 4) what happens if I take an extra touch ("dribble" past the pressure), 5) is my full back open? 6) Can I pass it back to the goalkeeper? 7) is my striker in position if I decide to kick it up the field? 8) can I pass it to my number 6 (def mid)? These are only examples. But always try to have at least 2-3 options/solutions in your head so you can react to any pressure. It's important that you take a deep breath, shoulder down, and relax, so you can take the best decision. And if you're in doubt, then kick it out (or up to your striker). I really hope this helps 🙏
Hey man! I think I understand what you mean but if I'm slightly off, please explain more carefully. But here's my answer: With time and training, you develop your own technique and find what works for you. What I'm showing you here is the basic, basic technique. If you follow the principles of this video, you have a very good starting point, and as you get better and more comfortable at kicking, you can make slight tweaks and find exactly what works for you. If we take me as an example: today, I don't always take 6 steps or even 2 steps to the side. Sometimes, I only take 2 or 3 steps back, and no steps to the side, and use the stab technique. That's because I'm confortable with my kicking and my goal kicks today. Does this make sense? Do you know what I mean? If not, please elaborate and I'll do my best to answer 🙏

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping so you think that both should be used depending on the situation and both should be trained
I think you should train both because you'll use them in different situations. But striking with your big bone is safer :)
do you have any tips? I play as a defender and our goalie likes to play short to me or other defender... I always struggle to open the game. Any tips?
That's a really good question!

Hi, but in matches it looks like goalkeepers dont lift their heels and cut across . I am confused

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping I get it now, once pros master basic technique they can comfortably micro adjust.
Also one doubt I have is , should hard raised bone part of foot be used or where he laces are located???
I use the big/hard bone, so it's more like a semi side-foot kick then a straight laces approach
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping ok thanks, as a beginner which is less advanced to start practicing with?
How long it takes to master own technique i am a amateuer keeper
It depends on how much and often you practice. The more you practice, the faster you'll master thentechnique ☺️
Technique or strong legs?
100% technique. My legd are no where near strong 😭
