GOALKEEPER TRAINING EXPLOSIVE LATERAL MOVEMENT.
The
fundamentals shown in these videos are the foundation to shot stopping.
In
the the following four video clips you will see an excellent display of
controlled lateral movement into a proper GK stance and “set position”. The
starting body position should be the same as the ending body position with an
explosive lateral movement and multiple change of direction in between.
Technical details include: head forward, shoulders forward, hands forward,
shoulders square to the server, weight is on the balls of his feet, body weight
is centered, feet are shoulder width a part and upon landing his feet are on
the same plane and not staggered. Notice how he drives his knee across his body
to his opposite shoulder and his body follows into a proper “set position”.
