Goalie isn't my main position but I played it in summer league and in backyard scrimmages. Well it was just a pick up game 'bout a year ago. My friend who was playing goalie said he felt like shooting, but all of us were to afraid to play. After about 5 minute of argueieng I threw my friends pads on and jumped in. What a rush, I was really good at first(much better than my friend who is our actual goalie). I play alot like Matt Russel where I attack the ball and give up quite a few rebounds, but I play very far in goal like Trevor Tierney. But right off the bat I stopped every outside shot taken except one that caught a weird bounce. I also stopped a fair share of inside shots, but once I took a crank(when i say crank I mean CRANK, my friend shoots in the high 80's) right to the lower thigh and my adrenaline kicked into overdrive, I stopped everything, I went 14 for 14 for the rest of the game. anyways thats how I started, just in a small scrimmage. I still think it is the funnest position. I just happen to have a attackmen's skill set, but I also do enjoy attack. this just gave me a great idea for a thread, look for it in the general forum.
