@@shadowmean1550 hey man, im a silver but can you help me. I need help with mechanics and thought if i played with a higher rank i could learn some things
Vsync basically means it's going to try to sync the fps of your game to the montiro refresh rate. It generally helps with tearing but tbh it's better to let your fps be uncapped for fastest performance and experience.
I've never heard anybody call the mini boost pads "pennies", I find that really cute. This is also helpful for me since I'm a plat in 2's and 3's, so ty for this !
@@SinisterRL well to me its all % based =) if you were plat, you were in the top 30% meaning 70/100 right? thats a C grade. i.e. low grade. =P fair enough?
@Gabriel Alvarado The thing is that statistically these "hotshot guys" are as often on the enemy team making them then loose following your logic. The only factor you can change is yourself and if you are better than where you are placed, you will sooner or later definitly win more games than you loose. It's not all about mechanics in this game...
@Gabriel Alvarado what you should consider is that your opponents do the same mistakes as your mates will do under pressure it's all about utilizing the opportunities and thinking about what you could have done better as it is anyway the only thing you can change in the game This way you will focus on your mistakes and you will fastly improve
@@HKBoba great video! I’ve been stuck in gold 3 for a while now can’t seem to get out, and recently switched from keyboard to controller, I feel a lot slower and awkward going into the air but I like the key binds I chose... any tips? Thanks!
There’s only one reason players get stuck in these ranks. They rarely rotate and they ball chase. Just because you can hit the ball doesn’t mean you should.
im a gold, and im just now finding out that plat is considered low level 😭 Great video !!! I’ve watched a bunch of videos on positioning and it never really stuck, but that first string of tips especially was really eye opening. Detailed explanations of those specific situations that always happen 👍🏻👍🏻Thank you!! Subbed
I was plat 2 and now i am all the way down to silver 2 in doubles. It feels like every game I am on the losing side. I am seriously thinking of quitting the game once and for all. Silver is full of smurfs and I always end up having bad teammates
I’d put my money on 100k by New Years at least. You’d be surprised how quick you can blow up on here. I saw a minecraft youtuber go from under 700 subs to over 150k in less than a month
*Also the farther back player shouldn't be so far back that they can't clean up a play. It's best not to play goalie all the time, a 3v2+goalie may help in the plat and lower ranks, but you would be better off gaining experience three man rotating so that bout time you hit champ you're not thinking about it, it becomes second nature*
p.s. to all the comments asking if i actually read every single comment. this is true i do. i have no life. BUT google doesnt inform me of replies to replies. so i try to but i miss a lot of the replies. but base comments yes
My frustration is I will once in a while have tm8s that whiff every time. I’m in silver 3, but that’s bronze level stuff. You should be able to hit a ball on the ground smh

I’m a diamond player by skill, but land in Plat II every time so hopefully with these tips that you’ve pointed out, I can become more consistent. You’re awesome dude
Bro, d1, I’ve been watching videos of how to do aerial shots and flip resets so I can carry my trash tm8s, then after 2 nights of shit sleep I decided that I would just see how to carry, the first video I watched said how the only constant I your team’s success, or lack there of, is me. I took this information in mind when I played my next game, an the first goal conceded was because I went up for an aerial and got bumped out of the way by my tm8 and the other one missed entirely, triple commit and we got scored on. Left the game as soon as that happened and haven’t touched rl for 5 days now 💀

I always jotted down which tips I heard from coaches and youtubers worked best for me. And those are the ones I focused on In my older videos. By using myself as the guinea pig
I'm a 48 year old and I love this game. Using mouse and keyboard is so difficult though so I'm going to use xbox controllers. I think this videos will set me off well. I'm always silver ish. Doesn't help that my eight and nine year of sons use my account! Great video.
HK, these are fantastic comments. I've been playing in gold random 3's forever. Occasionally I'll see the platinum promised land, once in a great while I'll slump my way into silver (that hasn't happened for quite a while, thankfully). I've changed my positioning recently while crossing my fingers that a pass will get through, and that helps - for all the reasons you listed. The non-double (or triple) commit thing is difficult in this rank. There are times I find it helpful to follow a team mate (at distance), because chances are really good he's going to outpace the ball he's trying to dribble. It can create a vulnerability, but frequently allows the ability to advance the ball into the opponents' zone...you just can't remain in such proximity. I certainly need to buckle down and improve my dribbling, but hey, I'm an RL Geezer at 57, there's only so many new tricks I'm willing to take the time to learn. Lastly - it is always odd to me to hear "opponents" referred to as "enemies". I don't really understand why that is the choice of language in RL, it isn't like we're at war firing at each other from trenches, but that seems to be the language choice for some. Anyway - very helpful video - thanks very much. Sorry to write a book.
Hello my friend, I'm a few years behind ya at 40, but I suspect we're both on the older end of the player base. And I mimicked your ranking pattern for quite a while. I just recently stuck my nose up into platinum in 2s and 3s, but it wasn't long before I was back hovering in the gold range. A lot of times I feel like I'm too old to spend the necessary time learning the intricacies of the game. Edit: let me know if ya wanna team up!
I am stuck in Gold because I am mechanically better, but can't use them because my opponents aren't smart enough. Like you can't fake someone that goes for the ball. Highr level players predict where the ball will go, but lower levels just go right for the ball. So I can't fake them out 😂
Great roundup man. Good tips in there! One thing I'd like to emphasize, though, as I feel like it helped me a lot: Experiment with the camera and controller settings on your own. Don't stick to some pro's settings and expect to instantly improve. I've tried lots of settings I found on UA-cam, but only recently have I fiddled around with them on my own, and found settings that gave me much better overview over the field, and made me hit my shots much more consistently. I was struggling especially with the "easy" shots, like drive / shoot the ball straight into an open net and hitting the kickoffs right. Often times, I was missing the ball by just a little bit. Ever since I customized the controller / Dodge deadzone, steering sensitivity, etc. to fit my playstyle, I feel like I made a huge step in the right direction, when it comes to consistency. A further camera distance also helped. Even though I might have to change this again, once I get more into dribbling and aerial play. I just feel like some of the settings in RL are hard to explain, and have more to do with feeling and personal preference. Just experiment and see how you like it. And don't be afraid to go away from the stuff other people recommend. Your personal "comfort zone" might be different from what other people like :)
Lesgooo this vid helped my gameplay and mechanics sooo much I'm still bronze but I'm working my way up after this vid, I've only been playing 2-3 months. Thx so much bro I really appreciate it, I'm subbing rn
My play games are like diamond they are really fast but people think play can’t Ariel but we hit crazy air roll redirect shots we should diserve diamond
This is one of the most helpful guides out there for low rank players and the editing is MAD! I can see you gaining tens of thousands of subs in the future if you keep this up
Bronze- hit the ball Silver - dont ball chase and learn how to strike more accurately Gold - play goalie and learn rotation Plat - aerials and wall hits as well as boost management and fast recovery.
From a champ player, awesome video dude 👍 I wish I had a video like this when I was in the lower ranks. 6:11 awesome drill that is extremely underrated. Knowing the position of the "pennies" is crucial at higher ranks. And obviously dribbling is an awesome skill to have. Can't recommend a drill like this enough. 9:54 about double commiting: always keep in mind that your teammate most likely won't be looking behind them. If you for example want to go up for an areal, but see your teammate in front of you, there's a high chance he'll jump as well. Even tho you were up earlier, he couldn't have know this cuz he didnt see you, therefore this double commit is on you. If you feel like you really have a superior position for the arial, use Team quick chat (probably "I Got It") to let them know you're going. 7:36 For myself, what map is that? Would love to give it a go 😜
I honestly think this may be the greatest Rocket League tutorial channel on UA-cam. I can't find, through my thousands of recommended videos of the same genre, a channel which offers more concise or better explained mechanics than this. For a guy who doesn't have a ton of time to grind out drills in free play, thank you, sincerely. I hope you get the subscriber base you deserve.
Yoo anyone wanna play rl with me? I’m usually a solo player but I wanna get good in 2s. In ones I’m only gold 2 div 2 and in 2s I’m like silver 1 div 3 or something
I got almost plat after my first 10 ranked games even tho i only played this game since its free. Great vid for me bec it goes even in details that are not important for older players. Btw is there a bug in solo ranked(i dont belive i should be gold)
240 hours here. But I think it’s the new divisions in GC. I went from G1 last season to D1 this season with only a little improvement in my mechanics 😂
I remember i became gold in april 2019, june 2020 i switched to pc and im Diamond 3 in 3’s and champ 2 in 2v2 ‘s took A LOT of practicing and learning, thought i would never get out of gold in the beginning..
Just don't jump. Drive under them as a fake and rotate back. Most aerials your opponents go for are probably bad and will end up just passing the ball to you
I hit Diamond in the middle of f2p Season 6. I wish I had seen this video back in Season 3 when I started. These tips are the absolute essentials that can push you into Platinum that I foolishly learned through hours and hours of gameplay. Thanks for the dribbling practice tip 👍

Your tutorials are so much different from other RL youtubers, they make understanding everything so much easier Unrelated: Your intro made me want boba tea
Tip for diamonds: If you are low boost and can't get the ball to a team mate keep the ball close enough to you to get a 50/50. Heavy touches can give the ball right to your opponent like a slow roller up the wall or a hit off the side wall that bounces into the middle for a shot. It seems obvious but you see it all the time! Awesome content I can't believe I haven't seen your videos before. You have a new sub!
This is a great tip and so true. Honestly it was on my list but had to be cut for the other 10. Taking a 50-50 forces at least 1 opponent out of the equation. It's like you're 'taking them with you' out of the play haha. Thanks for the new sub! And great tip 👌🙏🥳
I've been stuck in Platinum for ages (only started playing competitive about a year or two ago. Been stuck in Plat since). Some of the tips shown here are things that I recognize I have been doing wrong or not as well as I could. I'll surely be trying to incorporate some of these in my gameplay and hopefully improve. Thanks for the tips, Boba!
lmfao i remember when i was stuck in plat and truly it was my fault i always blamed my tm8s because i thought i was playing perfect but i started to watch my replays and it really showed me what i was doing wrong i was to aggressive i wasnt commiting to hard and was leaving my tm8 having to deal with a 1v2 and i used to tell my self if i was in a 1v2 i could of easily saved it, as i started to change my play style i quickly realized patience is key to a game like this you also have to focus the enemy players not just the ball an or yourself you have to have awareness of what's going on you have to be able to read plays, learn how to 50/50, fake plays, fake challenging, when to challenge and alot more things a plat still need work on. As for me im stuck in d3- c1 in 2s. im not much of a grinder but i hate losing and im not entirely sure why i lose alot in 2s as im d1-2 in 1s. I started playing alot of 1s and i got pretty damn good at 1s but in 1s you play alot safer and more patience and in 2s i have the same playstyle i started playing super safe and patient in 2s witch allowed my enemies to have time with the ball witch is not what you want and i dky i even said all this but i did
Hi Hk Boba, is there any way we can play together one time and you can help me out because I'm a really high gold about to hit plat but every time on the game that I am about to rank up, I go on a losing streak and I go one or to whole ranks down, and this has happened about 4 times already. Please reply with an answer. Thank you!

Hi i am new to this channel i like it 😁. I have a question i am a plat3 player but some times i feel like i am trash like i cant hit a regular airel but some times i play like a god how can i fix that??
I havent played rocket league in like 3 years, and coming back feels great. Im not yelling and raging about losing because im still able to win 1v1s and stuff. I've been watching some tips and tricks videos, including this one, to help me be better at the game. I appreciate your help! 😀
I used to be gold, now I’m in low diamond. Being aware of what type of teammates you have helps a lot. Learning to adapt to different playstyles makes a huge difference
Me:Hard Carrying in Gold and wasting all of my boost to shoot from walls, aerials, saves,clears but everytime I fail I always find 100 boost next to me XD
My normal 3v3s rank is silver 3 but my rumble rank is platinum 2. When people ask me what rank I am I never know what to say. What do u think i should say I am???
This actually helped, like a lot! And guess what i look at the channel and its the legend again, and you are growing fast now. Last I checked it was 11k and that was only a couple of days ago. And i kinda feel bad because i feel like i should be able to recognize your voice by now haha, Good job man keep it up, im putting on those notifications hahah
This is all super helpful, for us PC guys, do you have any workshop maps that are consistent go to's for you? If so, what are they and how often do you use them?
tbh almost every day i play. its my go-to warmup routine dribble overhaul 2 lethamyr rings parkour map (check out kevpert's video on which ones to do. elite aerial car control) DMC rings 3
Oh ya the one at the end? It's meant to show there are other viable goalie options too. Depends on where ball is. But far post is the best starter position because it can decently cover almost all approaches. While the other one depend on the situation
Thank you so much for stopping by my channel! The recent boom has been insane. Hope you guys continue to enjoy what I have planned for the future 🙏

Big tip for console players: disable v sync. Even though you may notice some screen tearing, everything will be a lot more responsive.
ohh yeah i really shouldve mentioned this. i just had it off by default so i didnt think about it. yes 100% no vsync

I just feel like some of the settings in RL are hard to explain, and have more to do with feeling and personal preference. Just experiment and see how you like it. And don't be afraid to go away from the stuff other people recommend. Your personal "comfort zone" might be different from what other people like :)
I’m a gc, and this still helps a lot thanks for the video!
somebody told me a month ago you're the new wayton. damn you're better xD wayton is overrated. good one!
Haha your words are too kind. Welcome to the channel 🙏
Just saw this in my recommended. Dunno why, dunno how.
But this deserves a sub.
Very good editing. Nice!
Thank you! Welcome to the channel
Glad I can help smaller channels. Maybe you'll get into the race to 100k subs lol.
Is that still going on?
haha i have no idea. who would it even be between. thanovic, sledge, cbell and wayton pilkon?
@@HKBoba has anyone won yet lol?
@@zlette didn't wayton or cbell already hit 100k?
Lesgooo this vid helped my gameplay and mechanics sooo much I'm still bronze but I'm working my way up after this vid, I've only been playing 2-3 months. Thx so much bro I really appreciate it, I'm subbing rn
those are actually huge tips
My play games are like diamond they are really fast but people think play can’t Ariel but we hit crazy air roll redirect shots we should diserve diamond
This is one of the most helpful guides out there for low rank players and the editing is MAD!
I can see you gaining tens of thousands of subs in the future if you keep this up
thanks! ill be tryin my best =)
@@HKBoba I can tell !
Good luck on those videos, my friends
Is it weird that I do this stuff naturally
Bronze- hit the ball
Silver - dont ball chase and learn how to strike more accurately
Gold - play goalie and learn rotation
Plat - aerials and wall hits as well as boost management and fast recovery.
From a champ player, awesome video dude 👍
I wish I had a video like this when I was in the lower ranks.
6:11 awesome drill that is extremely underrated. Knowing the position of the "pennies" is crucial at higher ranks. And obviously dribbling is an awesome skill to have. Can't recommend a drill like this enough.
9:54 about double commiting: always keep in mind that your teammate most likely won't be looking behind them. If you for example want to go up for an areal, but see your teammate in front of you, there's a high chance he'll jump as well. Even tho you were up earlier, he couldn't have know this cuz he didnt see you, therefore this double commit is on you. If you feel like you really have a superior position for the arial, use Team quick chat (probably "I Got It") to let them know you're going.
7:36 For myself, what map is that? Would love to give it a go 😜
Easy
Step 1. Get TW Octane
Step 2. Play a Ranked game
Step 3. Steal all the boost and call your teammates trash
Step 4. Repeat step 2-3
I honestly think this may be the greatest Rocket League tutorial channel on UA-cam. I can't find, through my thousands of recommended videos of the same genre, a channel which offers more concise or better explained mechanics than this. For a guy who doesn't have a ton of time to grind out drills in free play, thank you, sincerely. I hope you get the subscriber base you deserve.
I 100% understand. Between work. Fiance and life. It's so hard. I'm happy I could help and thank you for the support! 🙏
Yoo anyone wanna play rl with me? I’m usually a solo player but I wanna get good in 2s. In ones I’m only gold 2 div 2 and in 2s I’m like silver 1 div 3 or something
youre so underrated!!
This is by far one of the best tutorial out here for the low rank players🙌💙🔥💯🙏
I got almost plat after my first 10 ranked games even tho i only played this game since its free.
Great vid for me bec it goes even in details that are not important for older players.
Btw is there a bug in solo ranked(i dont belive i should be gold)
bro im 200+ hours and in gold lmao
@@eilif8962 me too lol
240 hours here. But I think it’s the new divisions in GC. I went from G1 last season to D1 this season with only a little improvement in my mechanics 😂
@@eilif8962 i have something betwen 5 and 7 lol
I won against a Plat 3 bec he scored 5 times and missed 7 times and i just drove the ball in the net 7 times
Why do I play worse against lower ranks,like I could beat a diamond but still lose to a plat 2
Underrated legend 👑
appreciate it :D
I remember i became gold in april 2019, june 2020 i switched to pc and im Diamond 3 in 3’s and champ 2 in 2v2 ‘s took A LOT of practicing and learning, thought i would never get out of gold in the beginning..
There's a few things I'm struggling with as a g3.
1: I'm not fast enough in the air
2: i miss lots of balls
Just don't jump. Drive under them as a fake and rotate back. Most aerials your opponents go for are probably bad and will end up just passing the ball to you
This is actully the best tutorial video thank you so much i was silver 3 and i m plat 2 now.
I hit Diamond in the middle of f2p Season 6. I wish I had seen this video back in Season 3 when I started. These tips are the absolute essentials that can push you into Platinum that I foolishly learned through hours and hours of gameplay. Thanks for the dribbling practice tip 👍
Powerslide on Boost? When you will make a half flip then what are you doin?
i am grinding in 1's but i am gold 2 they have season 3 plat tournament winner like i dont wanna play again

@@HKBoba thank you so much
Tips for console players turn on v sync with it off you get a headache
You easily get a sub for me so much effort for this!
thank you!
I need some good custom training sets, on every scale. And some videos about how to do them correctly and efficiently would be great

I have a video on my channel that covers this. Check the description for a hugeee list of training packs and the video itself goes over how to approach each one =)
Thanks , I went from Silver 1 to gold 2
I’m silver and played for 3 years and am pretty good lmao
i was a bronze two now i am a silver two thank you this really works
Your tutorials are so much different from other RL youtubers, they make understanding everything so much easier

Tip for diamonds: If you are low boost and can't get the ball to a team mate keep the ball close enough to you to get a 50/50. Heavy touches can give the ball right to your opponent like a slow roller up the wall or a hit off the side wall that bounces into the middle for a shot. It seems obvious but you see it all the time! Awesome content I can't believe I haven't seen your videos before. You have a new sub!
This is a great tip and so true. Honestly it was on my list but had to be cut for the other 10. Taking a 50-50 forces at least 1 opponent out of the equation. It's like you're 'taking them with you' out of the play haha.
Thanks for the new sub! And great tip 👌🙏🥳
I've been stuck in Platinum for ages (only started playing competitive about a year or two ago. Been stuck in Plat since). Some of the tips shown here are things that I recognize I have been doing wrong or not as well as I could. I'll surely be trying to incorporate some of these in my gameplay and hopefully improve. Thanks for the tips, Boba!
lmfao i remember when i was stuck in plat and truly it was my fault i always blamed my tm8s because i thought i was playing perfect but i started to watch my replays and it really showed me what i was doing wrong i was to aggressive i wasnt commiting to hard and was leaving my tm8 having to deal with a 1v2 and i used to tell my self if i was in a 1v2 i could of easily saved it, as i started to change my play style i quickly realized patience is key to a game like this you also have to focus the enemy players not just the ball an or yourself you have to have awareness of what's going on you have to be able to read plays, learn how to 50/50, fake plays, fake challenging, when to challenge and alot more things a plat still need work on. As for me im stuck in d3- c1 in 2s. im not much of a grinder but i hate losing and im not entirely sure why i lose alot in 2s as im d1-2 in 1s. I started playing alot of 1s and i got pretty damn good at 1s but in 1s you play alot safer and more patience and in 2s i have the same playstyle i started playing super safe and patient in 2s witch allowed my enemies to have time with the ball witch is not what you want and i dky i even said all this but i did
im down to play with you whenever im on ps4 doe ..😭 my gt is my yt name
Tell me how you can read all the comments
By being on my phone way too much. Fiance bout to keeel me loool. I'll catch up later
Does anyone use L1/R1 for air roll left and right? Combined with L1 powerslide
I used to do that
Hi Hk Boba, is there any way we can play together one time and you can help me out because I'm a really high gold about to hit plat but every time on the game that I am about to rank up, I go on a losing streak and I go one or to whole ranks down, and this has happened about 4 times already. Please reply with an answer. Thank you!
i dont boost if that what youre asking for but i can try to help if youre interested. just join the discord and dm me :)
@@HKBoba na dont play comp with me because I'm sure a high level would not wanna do that, just help me out plese
@@petertabarani2341 np. hmu on discord. easiest way to get in touch with me. invite is in the description and lmk ur name on youtube haha. sometimes when it doesnt match i get confused who's hitting me up
@@HKBoba my name is P3_Petey_ on discord, I will try to hit u up on either saturday or sunday
Thank you so much! This video helped me get from silver 3 to gold 2 in 3 days! And I’ll probably get to plat really soon!
I'm about to try it tmr I hope it works rn I'm in gold 3 what is happening to me is I'm in divison 3 right I win a game I'm now in divison 5 so I just need to win this game then Plat but I lost it so I go back to divison 3 this happend for 30 mins and I was tilted because I waisted my time I can't whait to try this out
bro ypuve grown so mutch lastime when i saw your vid you had 6.15k
wait. arent i still at 6.15k lol. subs i mean. or did u mean views
Hi i am new to this channel i like it 😁.
I have a question i am a plat3 player but some times i feel like i am trash like i cant hit a regular airel but some times i play like a god how can i fix that??
haha cant do much other than practice. but positioning does help a lot to make difficult shots easier.
Im probably gonna get out of gold because of this :) Thanks bro!!!
I havent played rocket league in like 3 years, and coming back feels great. Im not yelling and raging about losing because im still able to win 1v1s and stuff. I've been watching some tips and tricks videos, including this one, to help me be better at the game. I appreciate your help! 😀
HK Boba: the corner is the only place you can’t score
Me: laughs in pulse fire’s corner pinch
Lol yeah a freestyler hits it once every so many tries doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things
This video is so high quality, most underrated rl youtuber 2020?
haha its already been blowing up so much. super grateful to all the new viewers 🙏
Def subscribing to this dude
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel :)
I am gold and i just got the game...is that good?
I’ve never watched a video on how to improve but this is really good info tips whatever so imma sub just for the great videos man keep it up
it help me rly nice video thanks
U forgot to add that you should not lag...
thank you this will help so much
What is the code to that Mac with the rings
but my teammates are soooooo bad
play 1v1 then
My question is do i need to powerslide while doing an aerial shot ? Hope u reply .
U never do. But that's why you can put poweralide and air roll on the same button.
Nice vid but I don't know which buttons I have to press to do tricks
Y to grind
I used to be gold, now I’m in low diamond. Being aware of what type of teammates you have helps a lot. Learning to adapt to different playstyles makes a huge difference
Wut rank r u now, if ur still playing?
Haha the first goal though. My weakness. Very good video boba!
Me:Hard Carrying in Gold and wasting all of my boost to shoot from walls, aerials, saves,clears but everytime I fail I always find 100 boost next to me XD
Bro you are so underrated this was amazing and so helpful
Simp
Thanks for the tips :D you deserve more subs!
Thank you too!
How do you get better teammates?
My normal 3v3s rank is silver 3 but my rumble rank is platinum 2. When people ask me what rank I am I never know what to say. What do u think i should say I am???
i personally always go off of my 1s/2s/3s rank. extra mode ranking is kind of just for fun lol
HK Boba I dont know why but I didn’t actually think u would reply lol.
This actually helped, like a lot!
And guess what i look at the channel and its the legend again, and you are growing fast now. Last I checked it was 11k and that was only a couple of days ago.
And i kinda feel bad because i feel like i should be able to recognize your voice by now haha,
Good job man keep it up, im putting on those notifications hahah
haha i think maybe i just have one of those common voices
thanks so much for joining the channel =)
almost 4 years since this video came out and it is still useful, thank you
This is all super helpful, for us PC guys, do you have any workshop maps that are consistent go to's for you? If so, what are they and how often do you use them?
tbh almost every day i play. its my go-to warmup routine

Thanks , this helps :)
Omg i seached this workshop for so long! Hownis it called, this at 0:38 ? Plzzz answer i want ittt :)
dmc rings 3 :)
@@HKBoba okay thanks man!
I've been playing since this video released and I've been stuck in high Gold the entire season, only needing to win like 2 or 3 games to get to plat
This really helped thanks
Dude this helped so much Ive been having alot of ball chasing teamates down here in gold so thanks for giving tips on that!
Far post is a good play goalie
Play clip of near post keeping.
Oh ya the one at the end? It's meant to show there are other viable goalie options too. Depends on where ball is.
But far post is the best starter position because it can decently cover almost all approaches. While the other one depend on the situation
My whole life is a lie... i spend all this time grinding and then i watch one 13 minute video and get to diamond....
