How to do the training for the positioning of the goalkeeper? And I am a handball goalkeeper but I am not tall enough (1.64m), what kind of training can improve the skills?
By training hard for mobility and agility, you can turn your height into an advantage. Most players will be tempted to throw the ball up, above your head, the area being larger. When you can always be ready, staying on the tips of your toes and raise your arms fast enough you will have an advantage over other goalkeepers. As for positioning, it's best to train by defending against the throws of one, or more players, from different positions, so you get used to returning to the position or moving towards the player when he enters the 9m area, you will look always on the arm that has the ball not on the player's face. Good Luck !
Wonderful...thank you so much I am using your knowledge and drills to teach my students. May you help with how to position during play
