I did this one for the first time last Sunday. Hadn’t slept well and felt out of it. I played the game of my life, even saved a penalty. Got offered to come try for a team in a higher division. Thank you!
It's the first time I put a comment but honestly that was exactly what we as goalies needed. As a french academy player, the pressure is high so it helps me to feel this extra bit of confidence. There's so much value to take from that in order to grow as a goalkeeper. Thank you so much Conor, hope you'll find a new challenge that fits to you !
Thank you mate, really glad you found it helpful. We hear so often that visualisation helps, but often it’s hard to know how to get started! Hopefully this can bring a bit of structure for GKs 🧤
It's amazing how even I, an ex-academy keeper who barely played any games, can still find such moments about good saves, good action, footwork etc. which could make me feel better about myself before coming out on that pitch. If it all works out for me and I find myself a team to play for, I'm gonna try this visualisation again! Thanks, Conor!
I have my first friendly this weekend against a very strong team and playing for an academy I feel lots of pressure. This is my first time trying this and I can already tell it’s gonna help. Thank you Conor!
Been binge watching some older videos it make me regret giving up on being a goalkeeper when i was 12 or 13. I'm not saying I would have made pro but I was so good considering I was over weight as a child.
connor you are inspiring can you please give me any tips? i'm a young keeper and i'm also a short keeper i used to get bullied a lot and people were saying mean harsh things to me they still do but oh well i don't care but it still hurts to hear people say "you are really bad, get out of here" even though it's their fault were losing now they don't after i proved them wrong but some people still say like why didn't you save it even though it was a penalty like what am i supposed to do they blame me for everything even their fault is blamed on me they blame me for not saving a penalty i really don't care but it just feels like i've been stabbed for a little bit i'm so sorry if i wasted your time
Really sorry to hear that mate. I used to hear the same things! Don't let it get to you, keep on playing, keep on enjoying it, and keep on trying to improve! You've got this!
i wouldnt recommend this. i visualised to overcome the anxiety, i did lots of things to overcome my nervousness. But at the end its just an escape, not a confrontation with the fear. And much worse, you try to predict what is going to happen, and thats the biggest mistake a keeper could do. Just dont think at all.
It's not so much trying to predict what will happen, it's more exposing yourself to different alternatives to allow your brain to experience what it might feel like, so that you aren't paralysed when it happens! It isn't for everyone, but I have found it extremely helpful for me!
