According to our principle of "creating reaction time before reducing the size of the goal", the goalkeepers goal is always create enough reaction time between himself and the ball (attacker). If the reaction time is no longer sufficient due to the distance (goalkeeper-oriented), the goalkeeper must reduce the size of the goal for the attacker.
Pro-Tip by Roland Rasch
The goalkeeper is the only player on the field who does not see his own goal - he is usually positioned with his back to his goal. Help your goalkeeper by giving feedback on his positioning (ideal line and distance).

With passion and attention to detail, we've transfered our best drills into a unique and world-class set of training programmes designed to help experienced goalkeeper coaches and ambitious club coaches.
In 2014, I first asked Peter what it would take to have all his goalkeeping experience in a unified drill and video database. Now we're finally here and fortunately, I have no idea how many thousand working hours exactly went into this project.
