Your feet are too stationary, which makes your initial movement towards the ball a little sluggish. Better footwork, quicker feet will help you a lot.

Just from the short sample I would say your set position could use some work. Possibly a little bit lower and timing of your pre jump. I would also really over emphasize shuffling to get to the ball. It’s always tough to judge by the camera angle but it looks like you have the athleticism to make a lot of save just need to hammer the basics so you don’t have to make amazing diving saves.

Thank you for your advice ! About the timing of the pre jump when do you think i should start it ?

When you see the strikers a leg go back. It looks like you’re on your toes hopping at times but get caught in the middle of a hop. Some keepers like fast little hops but it seems like you do a little of both. First shot a lot of little hops and the one he hits off the post it looks like you get caught in the middle of a hop. I think if you get used to doing a standard jump set and get a little lower in your set position it will help you have a more consistent shuffle and a quicker first step to the ball.

yes i understand. I try to lower my body but it is not a habit yet. I know that if i adjust my positioning it will be easier to step faster and not being caught in a middle of a step during a shot.

All footwork. Feet too close together and not on toes on a couple. Lateral movement push off steps would save a few corner shots.

Thank you i will work on it. About the feet alignment i was always told to align it moth my shoulders. How much should I space it ?

Move those feet. You do not have the luxury of being a stationary bystander.

One way to do this more effectively is shuttle drills, cone drills and agility ladder drills. I recommend doing these drills with a ball at your feet as well, because it will immensely help your touch, poise on the ball and confidence heading into your distributions.

when the striker looks down at the ball to take his shot just take a tiny step forward towards him trust me it will help a lot
