As an amateur goalkeeper, I′ve struggled for years to improve my game. I remember one season where I felt like I was making no progress despite countless hours of practice. My technique seemed off, and my confidence dwindled after a few bad matches. It made me wonder what really influences a goalkeeper′s performance growth over multiple seasons? Is it just about physical training, or do mental factors play a significant role? How important is coaching style, team dynamics, and match experience in shaping a keeper’s development? I′d love to hear insights from those who have analyzed these aspects!
