Thanks fot the advice, last week I almost saved a penalty but it just touched my hand. Hopefully with your tips I'll save more! Thanks for all the advice you give us!
This is the best soccer guide I have ever seen. In my youth football league, I won the cup by a penalty shootout 4-1. i saved 3 penalties. I used every trick in the book and it worked. Thanks for the great advice
That’s incredible! Huge congratulations on winning the cup and saving 3 penalties - what an achievement! 🙌 I’m so glad the advice helped you out, and it’s awesome to hear you used every trick in the book. Keep up the great work, and here’s to many more victories in the future! Thanks for the support! 💪🏆⚽
Yes this trick I've known for a few years. Sometimes I'll add some dances to the left, making them think I'm diving left, but little do they know. I've seen their eyes look right instead. So I dive just as they kick the ball and I save 3/5 shots going the right way 4/5 times. IT WORKS!! IM ONLY 5'6 by the way
Thanks for these tips! Once i can go back to training again and maybe playing some matches (with hopefully some wrist tape to not get injured again!) I'll make sure to remember this video when i have to save a penalty!
Thank you so very much. You are the best goal keeper teacher I have ever heard. You make the videos so engaging. And only because of you, I won the Interhouse football cup at my school. We won by penalty shootouts, (3-0) I saved every shot, but unfortunately I hit my head on the goal post and it kinda hurts now. But atleast we won, thats the thing. Thank you so much, ur the best, and keep on creating such and other these kind of related videos. God Bless you and keep growing

Hey buddy. No problem with the video. It's been a topic a lot of you have requested :) Try diving lower. As I mentioned in the video, the last thing you want is a ball slipping under you in penalties. If it goes over you, fair enough, but try to dive closer to the ground :)

Just wanna say your videos really helped me out. Im 13 and i play for u16s . Im only around 5,3 (short i know) both the other goalkeepers are taller and bigger. Thanks to you i look more like a pro than an ameteur. Keep doing what youre doing brother (love from portugal❤)
Thanks so much! 🙌 I’m really glad the videos are helping you out, especially since you’re holding your own in the U16s at 13-huge respect for that! 💪 Don’t worry about your height; some of the best goalkeepers use their agility and technique to make up for it, and it sounds like you’re already on that path. Keep grinding, and I’m sure you’ll keep standing out! Love from here as well! ⚽🧤❤
You are a great teacher and I understand everything and now I have confidence to save penalties but my question is what do you do if the striker shoots down the middle
Thank you! 🙌 I’m really glad to hear the videos have helped build your confidence for penalties! Saving penalties is actually pretty tricky. You need a really good read. And one pro tip is that it's more often than not the more technical players who like to shoot down the middle. But having said that, most players will NOT shoot down the middle, they'll pick a side and go with it :) And of course, the more you practice, the better your reads will be. Keep up the great work - you’ve got this! 💪🧤⚽
In my amateur goalkeeping experience, I’ve tried to both second guess the direction and also use a fake move or distraction. I’ve won more penalty shootouts than lost them. I’ll usually do the fake move to my weaker side then lull the striker to put it on the other side and I’ll be ready. What I couldn’t save were those well-placed ones to the corners.
Hey buddy :) It's awesome to hear that you're winning more penalty shootouts than losing them. Those well places shots in the corner are very difficult to save. But sometimes we seem to overestimate the striker. Sometimes diving early is fine because the truth is, MOST strikers will never look at you - they simply don't have the mindset, balls, or skills to do it. Most decide on a spot and shoot there, no matter if you dive early or not :)
That’s amazing! Huge congrats on winning the Golden Glove! 🏆🎉 I’m so glad the videos helped you get there - that’s what it’s all about. Keep pushing yourself, and there’s plenty more success ahead for you. Proud of you, bro! 🙌⚽
It's really difficult to be honest. But fx. if they've missed their last penalty, there's a bigger chance of them going down the middle. Or if they're not looking at you at all...
I have a question. How do mind games help goalkeepers save more penalties? As said in the video, it messes with the striker's head, but how does that help?
Great question! Mind games can definitely be a powerful tool for goalkeepers in penalty situations. Here’s how they help: Disrupts focus: By using small distractions - like a pause, a stare, or even pointing to one side - the goalkeeper can throw the striker off their rhythm. This forces the striker to think more about you than just the shot, which can lead to hesitation or overthinking. Forces a decision: If a goalkeeper “suggests” a dive direction or makes the striker wait, it puts pressure on the striker to make a quicker decision. Rushed decisions increase the chance of mistakes, like missing the target or placing the shot poorly. Builds confidence for the keeper: Playing mind games can boost the goalkeeper’s own confidence and presence. Showing confidence in front of the striker can actually make the striker doubt their shot more. It’s all about tipping the mental balance in your favor. Even small moves can make a difference and create an edge! Keep practicing, and you’ll find your own style of mind games that work for you. 🧠⚽🧤
The fake dive have made me saved a lot of penalties, (at one point I was at more saved then conceded) but it's important to not overuse it in a shootout. If you ever want to use it in a penalty shootout, only do it for the most nervous looking ones. They have set their mind to one side, but once you slightly move to that side, they will panic inside, placing it loose to the other side more than not. It's usually the second, third or fourth penalty, because the team usually picks the best to shoot first and the "final" fifht one. Also if you save, you mess with their head rest of the shootouts. So early is good. Also a note that if you fake move, try doing it with your entire body, moving your feet is ok as a start, but if you practice some on it, you can manage to move your entire body toward one side without losing out of reach. It takes a bit of practice, but it's possible to make it look completely convincing. The footwork and timing when you start fake walking are important. Finally, if the guy ain't looking at you during the run up, you can do a quick version of the side step, it require sound by smashing your foot on the side, and slightly moving your arms and upper body to the side, and even if he doesn't see you directly, he will indirectly spot you from sound and blindspot visual.
This is an absolutely fantastic breakdown of the fake dive technique! 👏 It's detailed, insightful, and packed with practical advice for keepers looking to level up their penalty-saving game. Here’s what stands out: Strategic use: I love how you emphasize not overusing the fake dive and targeting the most nervous penalty takers. Identifying the right moments in a shootout is key, and your point about messing with their heads early is spot on! Full-body convincing fakes: Explaining how to move your entire body convincingly without compromising reach is gold. It’s a subtle art, and you’ve laid out a perfect roadmap for keepers to practice and refine this skill. Incorporating sound: The bit about using sound to influence a striker’s perception is next-level thinking. Even if they’re not looking, the psychological effect of hearing movement is such a clever tactic. This advice doesn’t just help with penalties; it also shows how goalkeeping is as much about mental games as physical ability. Amazing tips - thank you for sharing! 🧤⚽🔥
I think penalties is every goalkeeper's weakness hehe... they are incredibly hard to save but we still have to do what we can :) Here's a video about crosses: ruclips.net/video/CDrI-FvBUZg/видео.html - I had a sore throat when I recorded this :D
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping for me they are over in 2005. I had a terrible accident that almost cost me my sight. I returned in 2007 but i couldn't be a GK any longer. I became a defender or a striker but I gradually played as a GK in 2009, unfortunately I ahve some fear because of my accident and I cannot fully perform like the good old days. in FC terms. I was 86 and now I am 75 overall
Okay. Yeah. I understand. And I'm sorry to hear about the accident. At least you can still enjoy this game to an extent! And I'm glad to hear that you didn't fully lose your sight! Thanks for sharing your story, buddy.
When strikers go for the center, it's actually pretty difficult to read. But on the other hand, it's also very risky for them. Most players won't shoot in the center but sometimes when they exaggerate the signs, f.x. looking a lot to one side (almost too much), or standing in a very awkward position, or running really fast, they might go in for the center :)
The best situation to go against a pen is when your team is a goal up. I tell the guy that if I miss, it's like the match just started because we would be level, but if he misses they ruined possibly the best opportunity you can get in football.
Hey, no worries! It’s totally normal to feel a bit off after taking a break from practice. Here’s what you can do to get back on track: Ease into it: Don’t try to do too much too soon. Focus on the basics first-handling, footwork, positioning - and gradually build your confidence back. Consistency: The more consistent you are with practice, the quicker you’ll get back into form. Even short, regular sessions help shake off the rust. Stay positive: Bad sessions happen to everyone, but don’t let them get in your head. Trust that with time and effort, you'll feel sharp again. You’ve got this - just keep going! 💪
Hey man. Of course. This has happened many, many, many times for me also. I guess it's a part of goalkeeping. 1. Obviously become better. Keep training. Keep training your reach, jump and dive. The further you can reach and the better you can dive, the more like you are to save those almost saves. 2. Strengthen your fingers and hands. If you have strong hands and fingers, you're much more likely to turn the ball around the post than into the goal. 3. Use finger protection gloves. I would never do this myself because I don't like how they feel. But if you have finger protection, your fingers and hands are obviously stronger and will make it more likely to to save it :) I hope this helps :)
Honestly, it depends on the striker, but most of them tend to have a big ego. When I say 'If you have balls, shoot to the right,' they usually do. It is just a little bit embarassing when they score anyway xd
dude i was so confused why professional keepers kept going in the opposite directions in penalties i was genuinely like "are they blind?" i always just use my reaction speed to save goals
hehe, you make it sound so easy :) Penalties can be tricky and strikers/shooters are getting better every year. But it's great that you have such good reflexes that you can use them to save the ball! :)
Can't you use mathetics. For example if you if 90 percent of the time. The player shots in the left corner. You go for the left corner 70 percent of the time. The 30. You go for the right corner.
I’m going to use this advise next time I get a pk and I’ll let u know but I don’t like to talk dirty and be mean so I’m not going to use the emi Martinez tactic
I saved two penalties alone yesterday by simply trash talking the striker to impose fear and pressure and I also did a trick by seeing his eyes fixed on the left intentionally pointing to the right saying yes this corner and deliberately diving to the left now we are into the semis
Lost the semis 2:1 but will play in the third place this coming Saturday wasn't happy with the loss but it's a learning experience and curve thanks Man

Hey I know. Maybe you should tell all the shooters and opposing coaches what tactics the goalkeepers are using so that they can in turn use it against the goalkeepers and then those tactics no longer become effective. Knob.
Hey buddy, this is for goalkeepers who are trying to stop penalties. I think it’s a good idea to share techniques so that everyone can learn and improve, but I also think it’s important for goalkeepers to have some secret weapons up their sleeve, just in case :) You know what I mean?

Disrupts focus: By using small distractions - like a pause, a stare, or even pointing to one side - the goalkeeper can throw the striker off their rhythm. This forces the striker to think more about you than just the shot, which can lead to hesitation or overthinking.
Forces a decision: If a goalkeeper “suggests” a dive direction or makes the striker wait, it puts pressure on the striker to make a quicker decision. Rushed decisions increase the chance of mistakes, like missing the target or placing the shot poorly.
Builds confidence for the keeper: Playing mind games can boost the goalkeeper’s own confidence and presence. Showing confidence in front of the striker can actually make the striker doubt their shot more.
It’s all about tipping the mental balance in your favor. Even small moves can make a difference and create an edge! Keep practicing, and you’ll find your own style of mind games that work for you. 🧠⚽🧤
TY
No worries ☺️ Thank you for commenting ❤️
got this recommended after saving a penalty earlier today, lol.
haha google knows ;) congratulations on your penalty save. I conceded one today haha :)
I will send this to Onana
haha... Thank you, you'll be doing both of a favor. Man Utd supporter here ;)
The fake dive have made me saved a lot of penalties, (at one point I was at more saved then conceded) but it's important to not overuse it in a shootout. If you ever want to use it in a penalty shootout, only do it for the most nervous looking ones. They have set their mind to one side, but once you slightly move to that side, they will panic inside, placing it loose to the other side more than not. It's usually the second, third or fourth penalty, because the team usually picks the best to shoot first and the "final" fifht one. Also if you save, you mess with their head rest of the shootouts. So early is good.
Also a note that if you fake move, try doing it with your entire body, moving your feet is ok as a start, but if you practice some on it, you can manage to move your entire body toward one side without losing out of reach. It takes a bit of practice, but it's possible to make it look completely convincing. The footwork and timing when you start fake walking are important.
Finally, if the guy ain't looking at you during the run up, you can do a quick version of the side step, it require sound by smashing your foot on the side, and slightly moving your arms and upper body to the side, and even if he doesn't see you directly, he will indirectly spot you from sound and blindspot visual.
This is an absolutely fantastic breakdown of the fake dive technique! 👏 It's detailed, insightful, and packed with practical advice for keepers looking to level up their penalty-saving game. Here’s what stands out:
Strategic use: I love how you emphasize not overusing the fake dive and targeting the most nervous penalty takers. Identifying the right moments in a shootout is key, and your point about messing with their heads early is spot on!
Full-body convincing fakes: Explaining how to move your entire body convincingly without compromising reach is gold. It’s a subtle art, and you’ve laid out a perfect roadmap for keepers to practice and refine this skill.
Incorporating sound: The bit about using sound to influence a striker’s perception is next-level thinking. Even if they’re not looking, the psychological effect of hearing movement is such a clever tactic.
This advice doesn’t just help with penalties; it also shows how goalkeeping is as much about mental games as physical ability. Amazing tips - thank you for sharing! 🧤⚽🔥
Thank you this is one of my weakness. Can you make a clip about dealing with crosses?❤
I think penalties is every goalkeeper's weakness hehe... they are incredibly hard to save but we still have to do what we can :)
Here's a video about crosses: ruclips.net/video/CDrI-FvBUZg/видео.html - I had a sore throat when I recorded this :D
Make a vid about how to choose gk gloves
Hey buddy. That's a great suggestion. I'll definitely put that on the list :)
That was kinda helpful. Reminded me my glory days as a GK
haha. I'm glad you liked it
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping for me they are over in 2005. I had a terrible accident that almost cost me my sight. I returned in 2007 but i couldn't be a GK any longer. I became a defender or a striker but I gradually played as a GK in 2009, unfortunately I ahve some fear because of my accident and I cannot fully perform like the good old days. in FC terms. I was 86 and now I am 75 overall
Okay. Yeah. I understand. And I'm sorry to hear about the accident. At least you can still enjoy this game to an extent! And I'm glad to hear that you didn't fully lose your sight! Thanks for sharing your story, buddy.
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping Luckily I didn't. Number 1 just became number 11😁😁
Every goalkeeper's dream ;)
What about center?
When strikers go for the center, it's actually pretty difficult to read. But on the other hand, it's also very risky for them. Most players won't shoot in the center but sometimes when they exaggerate the signs, f.x. looking a lot to one side (almost too much), or standing in a very awkward position, or running really fast, they might go in for the center :)
@@GroundGloryGoalkeepingIn all my years as a GK, I never conceded a goal shot to the center, as well as Panenka penalties
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping you are correct but when I used to play as goalkeeper they most of the time shooted at center
@@Neo-R. I only conceded one in the center in my carrer
The best situation to go against a pen is when your team is a goal up. I tell the guy that if I miss, it's like the match just started because we would be level, but if he misses they ruined possibly the best opportunity you can get in football.
Yup that's a great way of thinking about pens ☺️
Also please make me a pele edit :)
Hey buddy, what is a Pele Edit? ☺️
Sir, i have been suffering from bad practice sessions after going to practice after 15 days. What to do
Hey, no worries! It’s totally normal to feel a bit off after taking a break from practice. Here’s what you can do to get back on track:
Ease into it: Don’t try to do too much too soon. Focus on the basics first-handling, footwork, positioning - and gradually build your confidence back.
Consistency: The more consistent you are with practice, the quicker you’ll get back into form. Even short, regular sessions help shake off the rust.
Stay positive: Bad sessions happen to everyone, but don’t let them get in your head. Trust that with time and effort, you'll feel sharp again.
You’ve got this - just keep going! 💪
i had pen shootouts where the players were staring at side they were going for the whole time
Like staring-staring? or just briefly looking?
Next free kick maybe ? How to makes wall corectly, positioning...
Thank you for your suggestion. It's absolutely something I could make a video about, yes :)
I’m not even a gk, but now I know what to do if I’m in a penalty shootout 1v1 with my freinds or cousins or siblings.😊
Exactly ☺️👍 Hopefully these tips will you the upperhand against your family 😅💪
May i ask how to keep the ball out when it touched my fingertips, i happen to almost pull great saves but it ended up slipping through my hand
Hey man.
Of course. This has happened many, many, many times for me also. I guess it's a part of goalkeeping.
1. Obviously become better. Keep training. Keep training your reach, jump and dive. The further you can reach and the better you can dive, the more like you are to save those almost saves.
2. Strengthen your fingers and hands. If you have strong hands and fingers, you're much more likely to turn the ball around the post than into the goal.
3. Use finger protection gloves. I would never do this myself because I don't like how they feel. But if you have finger protection, your fingers and hands are obviously stronger and will make it more likely to to save it :)
I hope this helps :)
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping ty , appreciate that
4:26 if a striker watches this they’ll go through the middle
That's true. Knowing when the striker will shoot in the middle is very difficult. Hopefully, we don't have any strikers watching my videos 😁
Do you work at the goalkeeping academy
No, I only work for myself hehe
Finna make me reach my prime❤
Love the energy! 🙌🔥 That’s the goal - helping you reach your prime and beyond!

@@Eliezer_edits hey buddy, have a look at this video: ruclips.net/video/Lch3un35Xw0/видео.html ☺️
@GroundGloryGoalkeeping thank you very much I bellive you will be a top 1 goalkeeper
Always tell the striker which side and then dive to that side👍
hehe... does it work? ;) Thanks for the tip
Honestly, it depends on the striker, but most of them tend to have a big ego. When I say 'If you have balls, shoot to the right,' they usually do. It is just a little bit embarassing when they score anyway xd
haha... Yeah, penalties are difficult no matter what trick you use but there are many things we do to enhance our chances :)
i am a youth goal keeper i will try this and reply if it works
and i point thw way i dive and fake dive the other way
Yes, let me know how it works for you ☺️🙏
I am a goalkeeper so this helps 😂
haha, that's awesome. Hopefully you'll save some more penalties soon
Mate in my school the normal pens are 18 yards for my school it's like 2 or 3 yards
hehe... Well, saving penalties that close is obviously very difficult. :)
Antony already scored on me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha 😁 Antony is a king 😉
dude i was so confused why professional keepers kept going in the opposite directions in penalties i was genuinely like "are they blind?" i always just use my reaction speed to save goals
hehe, you make it sound so easy :)
Penalties can be tricky and strikers/shooters are getting better every year. But it's great that you have such good reflexes that you can use them to save the ball! :)
Hi...im levi watching from Nigeria...please i need your help in getting a glove 🥺
Hey buddy. What help do you need?
@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping please I need a pair of gloves 🥺
I'm a beginner and tomorrow I save goals and penalties 🥲
haha that's amazing ! I'm sure you'll be saving your share of penalties :)
When a striker looks at one side, i usually dove to the other one. I save so many penalties by doing this
They do it TOO obvious? :)

haha... that's the thing.... this video is probably also good for strikers ;)
I actually already know it
That's fantastic :)

@@GroundGloryGoalkeepingI was being praised by my team
:) Again, congrats, buddy. You deserve it!
Can't you use mathetics. For example if you if 90 percent of the time. The player shots in the left corner. You go for the left corner 70 percent of the time. The 30. You go for the right corner.
Hey buddy. I'm not quite sure I understand your question, can you explain a little better?

haha... I guess they'll get some insights into what we're thinking ;)
I saved two penalties alone yesterday by simply trash talking the striker to impose fear and pressure and I also did a trick by seeing his eyes fixed on the left intentionally pointing to the right saying yes this corner and deliberately diving to the left now we are into the semis
Look at you 💪 Amazing, buddy. Congratulations. You should be really proud of yourself. Good luck in the semis☺️
Lost the semis 2:1 but will play in the third place this coming Saturday wasn't happy with the loss but it's a learning experience and curve thanks Man

@@GroundGloryGoalkeeping Thanks
Hey I know. Maybe you should tell all the shooters and opposing coaches what tactics the goalkeepers are using so that they can in turn use it against the goalkeepers and then those tactics no longer become effective. Knob.
Hey buddy, this is for goalkeepers who are trying to stop penalties. I think it’s a good idea to share techniques so that everyone can learn and improve, but I also think it’s important for goalkeepers to have some secret weapons up their sleeve, just in case :) You know what I mean?
Why does bro look like Martinez
haha.. don't let thumbnail fool ya ;)
I saved 5 penaltie out of 6, we lost
Wow! That's insane, buddy! Congratulations!
