00:00Have you ever wondered why some goalkeepers just seem to have that extra edge?

00:04It's probably because they ditch the bad goalkeeper habits that hold the rest of us back.

00:10In this video, I'll reveal those bad goalkeeper habits you might not even know you have.

00:14And the best part, you don't need a complete makeover.

00:18With just a few simple changes, you'll be saving more shots and surprising your teammates in no time.

00:24So you think you got room to improve? Let's find out.

00:27And let's kick things off with a bad habit most beginner goalkeepers do without even realizing it.

00:34So you found your perfect position in goal, the striker shoots, you see the ball, you dive,

00:39but instead of pushing the ball away from the goal, you push it into the goal.

00:43See the problem here? That's right, you're diving backwards.

00:48And diving backwards isn't doing you any favors,

00:51because instead of extending your reach and covering more of the goal,

00:55you're actually covering less.

00:57You wouldn't reach for something on a shelf while stepping away from it, would you?

01:01Of course not. And it's the same when you dive backwards.

01:05Plus, when you land awkwardly on your hips,

01:07you're setting yourself up for injuries that are completely avoidable.

01:12And while I know that diving forward isn't always possible, but when it is,

01:16always aim to dive aggressively towards the ball by taking a solid forward power step.

01:22And it might feel strange at first, but with practice, you'll soon get the hang of it.

01:26And hey, if you're serious about fixing your diving and becoming the best goalkeeper you can be,

01:31then check out the link in the description.

01:33But for now, let's get back to breaking those bad habits.

01:36And here's one that might be costing you big time if you're not careful.

01:40Ever been so sure of where the striker will shoot, only to dive way too early and get caught out?

01:47And yeah, we've all been there, but it's a habit we need to change.

01:51We are goalkeepers, not gamblers.

01:54We can't just pick a side and hope for the best,

01:56because when you dive or even just lean to one side too early,

02:00you're making the striker's job way easier.

02:04Now, I'm not saying that you should never dive early.

02:06Of course, there will be times when one side of the goal is gaping

02:10and the striker only really has one place to shoot.

02:12But if you're always guessing and turning every situation into a gamble,

02:17you'll end up conceding way too many easy goals.

02:20So instead, focus on positioning yourself correctly,

02:23keeping your balance and trusting your reactions.

02:26This way, you're in charge of the situation and not the striker.

02:30Okay, with gambling out of the way,

02:33this next bad habit is something we've all been guilty of at some point.

02:37Ever found yourself just going through the motions during training,

02:41not really giving it your all,

02:43or even taking an injury to skip those dreaded running drills?

02:47Maybe you think you're saving energy for the big games,

02:50or perhaps you're just feeling lazy.

02:52But if you think that you can just magically turn it on when it matters,

02:57I hate to break it to you, but that's just not how it works.

03:01The reality is, how you train is how you play.

03:04And if you're not giving your best in training,

03:06you won't in games either.

03:08Training is where you create your good habits,

03:11refine your technique and push your limits.

03:14So the next time you're practicing,

03:15get into the habit of giving it your all,

03:18be prepared, show up ready to improve,

03:20and push yourself like you're aiming to be the best every practice.

03:24With this attitude, you'll reach your goals and dreams much faster,

03:27because champions are also made in training, not just matches.

03:32With laziness and training out of the way,

03:35let's break another bad habit that can really affect your performance,

03:38and even cost you money.

03:40And look, as a goalkeeper, your gloves are your best friend,

03:44but why do you keep spitting on them?

03:47Sure, spitting on your gloves for a better grip might help for a few minutes,

03:50but in the long run, it's actually causing more damage than you might think.

03:54Think of it like drinking sugary energy drinks to get through a game.

03:58It might give you a boost, but you'll crash and burn out soon after.

04:02And what's even worse is the smell.

04:05No one, and I mean absolutely no one, wants to deal with that.

04:10So instead of spitting on your gloves,

04:12just pour or spray water on them.

04:14This will keep the grip strong, and they'll last much longer.

04:18But it's not just your spit that's ruining your gloves.

04:21How you use your gloves matters too,

04:23and getting up after diving using your palms is another glove killer.

04:27Because your gloves are not made for push-ups,

04:30and to make them last longer, try getting up with your fists instead.

04:34It might feel awkward at first, but trust me,

04:37your gloves and your wallet will thank you.

04:40And speaking of getting the most out of your gear,

04:42if you want to check out these bad boys, I've left a link in the description.

04:46They're already incredible value for money,

04:48but if you're looking to get an even better deal,

04:51I've left a small discount code in the description.

04:53Go check them out.

04:54Now, let's move on to our last bad habit of the day,

04:58and honestly, this one is the most important one.

05:02And I remember when I was a young goalkeeper,

05:04I just jumped straight into the goal, ready to show off my skills.

05:08Then one evening, the night before a big game,

05:11I did what I always did, but within the first 10 minutes,

05:14I had pulled a muscle and was cyclined for almost six weeks.

05:18I missed the most important game of the season,

05:21and do you know why this happened?

05:23I wasn't warming up properly.

05:26And skipping your warm-up might seem like it saves time,

05:29but it's actually a shortcut to injury.

05:32Warming up prepares your muscles,

05:34increases your flexibility, and gets your blood pumping.

05:37Without it, you're asking for trouble,

05:39like pulled muscles or other injuries that could have been avoided.

05:44It's kind of like trying to use a smartphone without charging it first.

05:48It's simply not possible.

05:49And when you're done training, don't just hit the showers.

05:53Cool down, stretch, and give your body the recovery time it really needs.

05:58Because at the end of the day,

06:00a well-prepared keeper is a better keeper.

06:04It's about being consistent, reliable, and available for your team.

06:08And you simply can't do that if you're constantly nursing injuries.

06:12So make warming up and cooling down into a habit.

06:16You'll be amazed how much better you feel,

06:19and how much longer you can play.

06:21And now that we've covered these bad habits,

06:23I really want to hear from you.
