In contrast to goal defense, the goalkeeper does not have sufficient reaction time in 1 vs. goalkeeper situations - the goalkeeper has to act using blocking techniques and can no longer react.
Pro-Tip by Peter Rasch
I usually train goal defense and 1 against the goalkeeper together. As the name already suggests, the shot in a 1 against goalkeeper is "only" blocked. The follow-up action in my goalkeeper training is a shot on goal.
Pro-Tip by Roland Rasch
It is a common misconception to think you can shorten an angle! The shot angle for the attacker is - mathematically speaking - independent of the position of the goalkeeper. By pushing the goalkeeper (due to the lack of reaction time) the size of the goal for the attacker is reduced. I let my goalkeepers play "eyes of the ball" again and again to explain the principle of size of the goal reduction to them.
