For getting over your fear of the ball, you can always wear some padded shorts. It may make you a more confident goalie which will then make you make more saves. You can also have people shoot tennis balls at you. Then have them randomly switch to lacrosse balls. You will bever know the difference.
Close shots are always a problem for any goalie. The best advice I have would be to mirror his stick and try to get in a stuff. Some people like to come out and smoke to player on the crease. Some people like to wait back and rely on their reflexes to make the save.
Good luck in your quest and keep us posted.
