100 goalkeeping exercises without a coach/ first 4 out of 100

When the head coach sends the goalkeepers to warm up for 20 minutes, and there is no goalkeeper coach to lead them, this is the case in 90% of clubs due to the lack of coaches or money for coaches, a common problem arises: goalkeepers are often not sure exactly what to do, in which order to warm up, how intensively, or how to prepare for the rest of training. And if they only train things that need to be corrected or learn something new, that's a bigger problem

Goalkeeper is a specific position - it requires explosiveness, quick reaction, falls, stability and correct work of hands and feet.

Without professional guidance, the warm-up becomes unorganized, unstructured and often ineffective.

Goalkeepers usually make arrangements themselves, but this leads to several typical difficulties:

1. Lack of structure

Goalkeepers start to do something "deductively", without a clear plan, which leads to skipping important parts of the warm-up (reflexes, falls, footwork).

2. Too long or too short duration of the warm-up parts

Some overdo their running, others skip working with the ball, so the body is not optimally prepared for real goalkeeping movements.

3. Improper technical preparation

Without the coach's supervision, technical errors in catching, falling and positioning the body occur more often.

4. Insufficient mental preparation

The goalkeeper often "enters" training lightly because there is no coach to remind him to be focused, loud and energetic.

Being a goalkeeper means being the last line of defense, a player who decides games with one move. However, while many training sessions depend on teammates or coaches, a large part of goalkeeping progress can be achieved independently. This manual "100 goalkeeping exercises without a coach" is made exactly for goalkeepers who want to work harder, progress faster and build security in their defenses.

The exercises are simple, practical and carefully organized to cover all the most important aspects of goalkeeping:

reflexes, reaction, feeling of the ball in the hands, catching the ball, falls, kicking, throws, movement and coordination. Each exercise can be done independently, without special equipment and without anyone's help.

This guide is intended for beginners, young goalkeepers, recreational players, as well as those who are already training, but want additional individual work in order to become faster, safer and more stable in goal. If you want to progress, to feel confident in your movements and to dominate in 16 meters - then these exercises are the right way.
