Every Tuesday, I am going to break down the exact real-game scenarios I had to deal with as a professional goalkeeper, and the high-pressure situations I coach my students to overcome. Here is your scenario for this week: The Situation: You are the goalkeeper. A fast striker breaks past your defence on your right-hand side. They are entering the penalty box at a tight, 45-degree angle. Your defender is sprinting back but cannot catch them. What would you do ?

What is with Tiktok?
Obviously a football agent has reached out through Tiktok and can offer Xavier a trial at Norwish (yes he typed it like that) in a couple of weeks, all I have to do is pay €1000 then he will get the letter sorted. Apparently €1000 isn't that much when he signs his million pound pro contract. I don't think he appreciated me putting a large 😂 emoji, he asked what I thought, it would be free for him to be the agent 🤔 well yes actually, if you're that good then you get paid after he signs the contract 🤭😂😂😂 Kirsty

One vs one blocks
Ive seen a few people.on here asking for advice/ what to do in a one v ones situation. I have added some tips below which were advised from my GK coach (I hope people.find them helpful): Stay patient. Don't rush out too early. Delay the attacker and force them to make the first move. Close the space under control. Sprint to narrow the angle, then slow down with short, balanced steps as you approach. Stay big. Keep your chest up, hands forward, and body balanced to make yourself as large as possible. Watch the ball, not the player. The ball tells you when the attacker is about to shoot or take another touch. Recognize the heavy touch. A poor touch is your cue to attack the ball aggressively. Set at the right moment. If the attacker can shoot, get into a balanced set position rather than continuing to run. Commit with confidence. Once you decide to block, don't hesitate. Half-committed actions often lead to goals. Lead with your hands. Aim to smother the ball safely while keeping your body behind your hands whenever possible. Use the spread block when appropriate. In close-range situations where there's no time to react, spread your body (barrier/K-block depending on your coaching philosophy) to cover as much of the goal as possible. Protect yourself. Keep your chin tucked and avoid leading with your face. Strong body shape helps absorb contact safely. Recover quickly. If the first block doesn't hold, get up immediately and be ready for rebounds or second shots. Communicate. Let defenders know whether you're coming or if they should continue tracking the runner.
