goalie skills
Like a few other threads I read, I too was converted from defense to goalie this year
I am ok at reading penalty shots since you know the angle they are shooting at, but the normal shots where the girl is running in is harder to block.
I also flintch when its a shot close to the crease and even worse at my head...its such a natural reaction, I can't help it and try hard not to, but I dont know how to prevent it
Lastly, since I played defense first, it has become habit when there is a shot on my non-dominant hand to move my whole body and shoulders to attempt to block the ball instead of just moving the stick real quick to the left (if that makes sense)
Any suggestions for drils or techniques that I could practice??
