Goalkeeper Training: How to Get Over the Fear of Diving and Weak side
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июн 2014
- A lot of goalkeepers and subscribers have been asking me for a video to help them overcome their fear of diving or the mental block/obstacle some keepers have when it comes to diving on their weakside.
The way I teach my goalkeepers and how I taught myself how to get over my weakside mental block and how I overcame my fear of diving was by breaking down the steps of a goalkeeper dive.
Into a few easy steps that are memorable and easily repeated,
1. Keeper Ready position
2. Lunge / Powerstep with the foot that is closest to the ball do not cross your body with your foot if you are making a power step.
3. reach your arms out towards the ball get both hands on it in the W catch formation.
4. place hands on ball and then push the ball out while pushing your chest over knee.
Don't rush through this, take your time and help your body memorize the muscle movements necessary for a dive. All keepers should try this drill out every week or so to polish their diving technique and to remind themselves what a good dive looks and feels like.
Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and commenting, make sure to leave me comments !!!

That grass looks so nice to dive on. Over here in the UK, its all torn up with super dry mud which just eats through your skin...
Where I play football in my street all the grass has been pulled out the ground because we always play on the same piece of grass
It's okay, the real pain is the ground. our pitch is level and that grass is normal florida grass it's very long and weed like. so it makes bounces really weird and so on. Plus the field is COVERED in ant hills. nothing worse than getting fire ants in your gloves. But I'm happy to be training anywhere really! Hope your turfs improve
My local field is relatively flat, occasionally you get those killer bounces which really annoy me. As a goalkeeper, I'm so used to diving on wet/muddy ground and when the summer comes around every year I begin to struggle again xD Here in the UK, 10/12 months consist of wet weather so it's kinda okay
The grass where I play I down hill and where I dive it's just hard mud because of all the diving
all the best goalkeepers like buffon, casillas neuer didnt started on a nice green grass
Kasper schmeical started goal keeping at 16 it's never too late
Samuel Klemis for real?
That makes me feel a lot better because I'm 13 and I'll start soon.
Thanks for that, I started to loose confidence that I would have a chance of making it.
Klaani Naukkis same
I'm not joking I started it when I was 8 IS THAT A GOOD THING😑
The dude in the pink was super commited. Great video!

Just Stop and
I used to be amazing at diving, but because of covid I lost my confident mentality and am now afraid of diving. This video will really help get the mentality of Goalkeeping back. Thank you ARS goalkeeping!
How have you progressed? I've been out because of an injury for 20 months and I am really scared of diving so I am curious to see others' progress. Did you make any progress?
@@kostaskorbetis9340 It's just about working bro, I quit football 6 years ago and this year I started again. At first, I couldn't even sleep because of the pain. It's been 3 months and I'm getting back to my old form step by step, repeating is the key point to be able to do these without fear. Just never give up and work hard, good luck buddy.
Imagine blaming covid for not being able to dive anymore 🤣🤣🤣 you can’t be serious
@@nickchemist723 Umm maybe true but may not be...Uk during those days we should be in our houses...And not all do have a backyard...So maybe its sounds crazy but it is possible
That dude in pink and yellow shirt is brilliant, he'll be a star!
RFGaming Eoin yep he's already ODP and playing two years up. I'm making him a monster :)
ROAR! lol
@@ARSGoalkeeping how is he
20 yr old centerback, never played goalie but I want to give it a try. within a day, I'm able to dive. not well, but I can do it. took me forever to get over that fear of diving until I watched this video
I'm not a beginner, but these videos help a lot, my soccer season starts after may long weekend in canada, I watched these in March and started doing some of these things. during the season my record was 11-1-1 in a 13 game season, 6 games were clean sheets. my team also won the tournament 4-0 record and I was named mvp of the season and tournament. these help a lot and if you put work into it you'll do great
Congrats
Zack Ashby thanks, im a 13 year old girl and im scared to dive high and dive on my weak side (left) but I keep
trying to tell myself to just do it. Even tho I still can't get myself to do it, I will ever do it. Your comment motivated
me, that's why I said "thanks." Unlike the guys being like: "you suck, you're never gonna be a good goalkeeper !! Hahahah!!!!"
Btw, ive seen girls play football (or soccer) irl life, but ive never seen a girl goalkeeping irl life (only on yt and tv). I guess
it's kinda rare then.... everyone just goes for skillmoves and scoring and stuff, nah..... I like saving my team more. Guys let's be
honest, goalkeepers are REALLY REALLY important in football, and then they gonna hate on you because you didnt catch the ball...
Do it yourself then. Stupid strikers lol. I just wanna say I have a long way to go to follow my dream, I'm not playing in a club but I just
wanna be a pro and catch every ball so my friends get angry and run away and.. no that was weird bye XD.
Thanks for sharing as a fellow gk I understand you. God Bless!
Tine Vlekken you shouldnot be scared of diving believe in your self
@@tinev4173 whats your progress?
My coach isn't the best when it comes to working on goalkeeping drills, so I have shown him your channel and highlighted a few videos for him to watch. Thank you so much for all the videos you put out, this is going to help me tremendously this upcoming season!
That's an amazing idea! I'm very happy that you showed your coach the videos. I hope it help him coach you some and helps you! Thanks so much for that comment

Thanks man Im older keeper but this basic video is pure diamond!!!
Because all keepers have to take their moves to basics at some point and this video really help me to know my weak spot!!!
So I just switched from defender to goalkeeper and your tips help me out a lot! Thanks mate, you`re awesome!
I am 14 and started goalkeeping at 10 but I still had problems diving on my weak side but then I started using this tips to work on my weak side diving which really helped me improve but it also helped me improve my strong side diving. Your videos really help me ARS Goalkeeping
Thanks for the tips and i have now gotten over my fear of diving to on my weak side which was my left handside
Thank you very much.I've been scared that I might hurt myself but, thanks to you I've learn how to get it over with.
i can dive but the only problem is i see the ball and instead of diving i just run and kick it
you need to tell your self to dive to it
ok
+ Christopher Ferguson
I have the same problem...
I laughed when I saw this
Christopher Ferguson Same i dont know why I want to but then instead i run to it
I have been looking for these kind of videos and this is the best I've seen. Awesome Video!👍
Thanks man for the useful information, so far ever since I used it I literally became the Casillas in my class and 2nd best goalkeeper in my school😁😁👍🏻
I was never scared to dive high or low, im a natural considering for the past 2 generations my father, and grandfather have been keepers also, i always wanted to be a keeper since i was 6, i love the feeling of flying and making a save, the first day i got in front of that goal and blocked my first shot i took off, my coach was impressed, but this video did help me teach a little goalie i was asked to train. Thanks for these videos.
Until now one of your best videos.Keep going like this. You're the best.

Thanks for teaching me to dive and I used it in my football team
Best video for overcoming you fear of diving
Dude your tips worth al the likes that exists
This helps alot, my weak side is on my right. This will help hopefully, thanks for making this video :)
Great video. Really does help in the long run. I'm not a great keeper (mostly because of my fear of falling on the floor) so your videos help me get the right idea. Especially this video because it's just a simple drill that can get me diving and has slightly improved me but with lack of grass areas to practice on I cannot always practice or have people to practice with so when it comes to a game I lose all confidence.
:) I'm glad that you liked it. thank you so much for the comment and for watching the videos.
It's my 1st time I watch it here it reflects how easy it could be if we work hard 👍
Thank you very much, I feel like Manuel Neur!!!😄😄

Very useful to know Will take on board when Coaching
Thanks Alberto this really helped me I was to scared to dive on my left but now I think I will be more confident on diving there. Thanks again :)
Awesome! It's all repetition, soon your body will just end up reacting to the ball like that. Thanks for watching the video and the great comment!
You have helped me ALOT in the past, i started playing two years up from my age but didn't play last year due to injury but the one problem i've always had was my weakside diving, my right side has always been really sharp but as soon as i go for left i just twist in the air to land on my right. I really hope this helps ! (:
Connor Scott It's all repetition, practice hard and you will get it. Thanks for watching and commenting
I have exact the same problem mate. Exact the same
Connor Scott One thing you can do first is, get your left arm more coordinated. Your hands and arms move first before you dive, so you need to build response in your left hand. Playing basketball will help, or you can take a tennis ball and throw and catch only with one hand. Start throwing it soft, then harder and harder. After you get comfortable with that, throw the tennis ball low on the wall and get your body to react with your left side only.
i've been doing this for a while now and the coordination in just my left side of my body has grown immensely, this also helped with improving my diving technique overall. thank you very much
You mean my advice? Hope it helped. Make sure you sub to my channel, I will put up some cool vids soon on training.
Great Video! This helps a lot
I'm good at attacking and defending. Now i'm just training to be a goalkeeper. I'm still afraid to dive but i hope this helps me. And i also need to overcome my fear of being afraid of the ball going straight to my face. Thanks for the vid trying it kut tmrw. :)
Your tutorials are soooo helpful for me!! Thank you so much!
I'm glad they are helping you out! Thank you so much for the comment and for watching the videos

Useful tips and techniques!
Hopefully that helps me. Im good at diving on my left and right. But i got an injury on my right leg with a torn Hamstring and groin about 2-3 times. Im getting better at diving on my right but it still need improvement so hope this can help!

Soccer Drills And Goalkeeper Training do you now me I talk to you on iker gloves preview

Thanks mate just today i had a penalty against me and for the first time i guessed to dive on my weaker side and I saved it! I won us the match, cant thank you enough!
Congratulations! Sounds like a huge save. Very happy that the video could help you out. Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks for teaching me how to dive
Support from India!
Thanks for watching and commenting!!
thanks very this video is very good and finally i defeat my fear of diving and weakside very thanks
rokas gedeikis I'm so happy to read that. thank you so much for watching and commenting on the video
I think it is also do with footwork and balance drills as well. If your work on your legs and like with weighted squats, lunges and jumping exercises this will improve your diving and other key areas as well and then you won't have a weak side, but at the end of the day the main thing is practice, If you just put in the hardwork in everyday you won't even think about it, it will just all click into place.
Great help
I really enjoy your videos and i have practised a lot on me own. And a few days ago some friends asked me to play a game with them so i agreed and hoped that i wasn't terrible and that i wouldn't let them down. The match went quite well and my friends told me that i really should try out for the local soccer team (so i can get even better and train with them even if i don't get placed in a good team). But i'm 18 years old now so my question is would I be to old to still be a starting keeper or should i be fine and just have a go at things and see how it goes.
Anyways keep up the great vids i learned a lot from them you really inspired me.
Greetings from The Netherlands
I'm actually going to tryouts and this is really helpful
How did it go?
These have helped me a lot thank you
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the tips it really helped me out
It's funny because when I think before I have to dive to my weak side (left) it hurts when I land maybe because I am a little scared of it and because of that mental block. But when I just don't think about it and just go for it, it doesn't hurt when I land because I land better when I am not overthinking it because I am so concentrated on the ball. But I want to not be scared and remove that mental block. I hope this helps, and a good job as always ARS Goalkeeping.
very nice goalkeeper video!
thanks. now i know what to practice
Good suggestions!
A little tip (it worked for me)
My weak diving side (left) use to stop me from diving and it made me loose a lot of games
I managed to make it better by hitting me in my side not hard that it makes you cry but enough to make you man up
so cool and really good teaching well done
Wow this is truly helpful... Have so much trouble diving to my right side (although I am right-handed, very strange) and I will see if this is going to help me! I will start training this tonight :)
I'm sure this will help you! Please let me know how it ended up going for you. Thanks for watching and commenting
Hey Alberto, it really helped a lot! I have been training for two hours with two friends tonight (In Holland it's evening right now) and it already paid off! Only need to get over that mental block but then everything should be god. Thanks again :D
Mart Meijer That's amazing! Thank you so much for letting me know how it went.
I was watching your other video when I thought how I'm going to get over the fear of diving because I got a injury a while ago then I saw this video and I ready to train again
Glad to read this! thanks for watching and commenting

So I'm actually a field player, striker to be precise, but with me going off to college and trying out for the team there I've started trying goalkeeper as I think I will have a better chance of making the team so your videos are definitely coming in handy!!!
