yea most of the time the goalies become a little flinchy, but while you might make fun of them, it's better to be nice to them and try to work it out because, from experience, you start getting better as a goalie if you have confidence. I would have to say that the reason why most flinch or screw up is because they don't get a proper warm up at the beginning. The goalie needs to be taken out ahead of practice and pass around a little at first, and then start the warm up. And when, during the warm up, they stop it, say nice job, and if they mess up, tell them what they should have done once and let them try to do it. The reason you should be nice is the fact that these "bad" goalies are still brave enough to be hit with hard shots. Now remember when warming up, do not shoot a shot that takes five seconds to get ready. That's not realistic and can hurt the goalie severely when it's unneeded. Try to get an attackman to start the warm up. Then try something more complex, like putting a midfielder in there with the attackman so they have the possibility of outside shots and inside shots. And to help, put in a dman or defensive middie, and tell the goalie to give him orders. This will make it the most realistic for the goalie, as he will have control, and will learn to cover his weaknesses. Also encourage your goalie to play wallball very close up. Instead of normally playing it, tell him to use goalie reflexes and stances. That's how you make a goalie better. And also, if the goalie is getting hurt in certain areas to much, which may be the cause of the flinching, tell him to get padding for that area. Basically just be nice to your goalie.
