Movement straight forward

This post explains you the basic way to move straight forward. It is one of the first movements that you should learn when you start to become a successful goalie. This move keeps your upper body focused on a potential shot, as the whole movement will be done with the legs. I (Lars) like to compare it with a swimming duck. Above the water surface, the duck swims easy and peaceful but when you take a look under water, you see that it does a lot of movement with its legs.

How to do it?

• Starting point
• Starting point is the initial position (link)
• Feet are on the arch of the foot – this will help you to slide easier as the shoe sole does not brake you
• Movement
• Set up one leg - the angle of the hollow of your knee is 90 degrees
• Push the set up leg forwards and roll your body above it
• The movement does not need a lot of strengh or boost
• The whole strength of the movement comes from the set up leg, the other leg just slides
• Final point
• Final point is the starting point - Initial position

Good exercise to train it
Coming soon- give us some time :-) (Pictures too)
