Atmosphere

Make sure your stepping to the ball. It hurts more when your are relaxed and not expecting it.

For 1 on 1 you won't be able to stop all of them. The only thing you can do is higher your chances. First you want to stay still in the net when you come out and rush them you give the shooter more options. Try giving up one part of the net, this is called baiting. I get low, baiting the shooter to shoot high, and when they do pop up and stop it. Don't get discouraged if you let in a 1 on 1 shot. Goalies can't save everything.
