Would hands-on goalkeeping knowledge make better field players?

Would hands-on goalkeeping knowledge make better field players?

Many players shy away when asked to try goalkeeping as part of individual skills development. Is there a stigma associated with this position?

GK is a key position in our game. We need a special coaching for GK. A GK is a loner. He dont have friends in his own team . If makes a save everyone will say good. If he makes a single error the whole world will be against him. He is the back bone of the team.

When players are young - perhaps up to twelf - they love to be GK occasionaly, as well during training as during a match. It changes when winning a mach gets more important.

First, please accept my heartfelt sorrow for friends and families who lost loved ones Frank. Amsterdam is among my favorites, where residents are generous and larger than life.

How will you bring "gk" training as a requirement for all players. Perhaps pre-requiste for a field player making a team.
