So in this world cup there have been a lot of goals. What's your thoughts on the below I heard something earlier discussing if 1. Attackers are getting better or 2. Defences are getting worse.

When using the BBC 3D Experience to replay World Cup goals from any angle, I noticed that when striker is about to shoot the video shows lines from the ball to the posts. Because you can move the camera to any angle including the goalkeeper view, you can really get an understanding of what the pitch should look like for you as a goalkeeper when you are in the correct position for shots from the same areas as seen in the World Cup. You could also use this to analyse good positioning for crosses, and set up for free kicks. I find the 3D Experience fairly clunky to use, but for young goalkeepers I think the learning opportunity is fantastic. I don’t think we have ever had such a good tool before for analysing good goalkeeper positioning, for those keen to improve their positioning I highly reccomend spending some time looking at goalkeeper positioning and movement using the BBC 3D Experience from multiple angles. With enough repetition your mirror synapses in your brain will help you replicate the best goalkeepers in your matches.

Guys, whats your thoughts on Congo's first goal? I was watching it last night in my local - and everyone blamed Pickford stating a goalkeeper should never be beaten at near post... The ball moves so fast now, we have all been in goal when a ball is hit that fast, you only hear it hit the back of the neck - you do not see the ball!!! Whats your thoughts on this?

Guys, I received a DM from a parent this week and, with their permission, wanted to share it here 👇 Their son has played for the same team for three years. Never missed games. Turned up every week. Fully committed. 💙⚽ A few weeks ago, he picked up an injury and had to miss a handful of matches 🤕 During that time, the coach put an outfield player in goal. When the young keeper returned to training, fit and ready to play, the coach told him he would only get half a game, because he now had to “fight for his place”. This really upset both the parent and the goalkeeper (who is still very young). After three years of loyalty, it felt unfair and confusing 😔 The parent spoke to the coach to explain how much this had knocked her son’s confidence — to the point where he started saying he didn’t want to play in goal anymore 💔🧤 The coach’s response?“What would you do if your head was on my shoulders?” Now, I know some grassroots coaches — especially at kids’ level — look in the mirror and see Pep Guardiola staring back at them 😅 But parents and goalkeepers…What would you do in this situation? UPDATE: Just found out that the stand in goalkeeper does not want to stay in goal - Was only playing to help out.

I have come up with a simple way to help our community save money on the gear you want most. Each month, I will be ordering selected products and listing them on a hidden page on www.j4ksports.com — available only to our community. These products will be cheaper than anything else on the main website. Here’s how it works: You tell me which products you’d like me to source — rebounders, bags, caps, shin pads, etc Once I see what people are asking for, I will find the best deals and announce what I am about to order in advance. I will then list these items on a private J4K page at a special pre-order price. For example: if I announce goalkeeper rebounders, you might be able to pre-order them for £25/$25, instead of the usual £40/$40 retail price once they are in stock. The only catch is that these will be pre-paid offers. The reason I’m doing it this way is because in the past, I tried something similar. Lots of people were encouraging me to order certain products, and in good faith, I spent my own money to get them in stock. But once the products arrived, most of those who said they’d buy didn’t follow through — which left me with a pile of stock to sell on my own. So this way it is win-win — you save money, and this helps me to source the right stock for you and the goalkeeper community. And don’t worry — all the usual J4K guarantees apply. If you’re not happy with your product, you’ll still get your money-back guarantee, same as any other order from J4K. So - if you are interested, lets have a 'hell yes ray in comments below - and please let me know what products you would like me to get for you ' 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Please try to name as many as you can (especially products you currently use) - This way, if i see a pattern - i will then try to source these products for you all.
