Loved the video. Can you make one on some goalie drills that you could do outside of the pool? I’m a new goalie who wants to get more practice but I don’t always have access to a pool. I’d really appreciate it!
Focus on the ball. Make sure you are moving with the pass and you putting yourself in a good position in relation to your defense and the blocking lanes they are taking. For example don't take yourself all the way to the post if its your wing defender's job to block near side. Your primary blocking zone is your halo especially over your head. In theory, your team defense has their blocking lanes, cross cage or near side and high or low block, to push the ball at your halo. I watched Marko Bijac get yanked because he gave up 2 goals over his head on man down. Your legs have to move harder and faster than they normally do. You have to work harder in man down and never relax. Anyone is a threat and any pass could be a quick redirect. You don't have time to rebuild your base so it needs to be at one consistent level the whole time. Man down is your time to shine and make a big impact on the game. The team with the lower conversion percentage tends to lose the game as refs usually try to even out the ejection calls. Then you need to be working in unison with your coach and X5, middle defender, on the offensive shifts and calling out the appropriate counter shifts. You need to be in constant communication with your whole defense too. Let your blocks know if they're in a good position. Talk to them and move them into the proper ones if they're not. This is all generic advice but if you have specific game tape or specific concerns then connect with me at thewaterpologoalie@gmail.com.
Thanks so much. I’m a young goalie who started goalkeeping a few months ago and just got back from the KAP7 water polo tournament. It made me realize I have a lot to work on and any advice is really helpful!
Great drill!. But what about technics. His left knee must be wider to have the same angle as the right knee from his hibs. And his knees could be a litte bit wider. Most important is too keep the knees up. And that is looking good. Maby a little higher to stop the "dancing" but maby its the weight of the jug 😉
Our coach had a similar drill, it was set up with a metal folding chair and jug. Then, drain a jug, grab a metal folding chair, tread across the pool, then your rest is filling up the jug then repeat.
@@honytawk5968 thats a whole different story. Man and woman are not equal. I think an olympic womans team would get beat horribly by a group of teenage high ranked waterpolo man. The shot still sucked tho haha🤣
Did anyone else notice that there was a "save" that actually was a goal at 2:24? Italian goalie is all the way inside the goal when when blocks the ball the second time.
😘 Fantasztikus!!! Remélem, a kis Vogel tovább fejlődik, és legalább olyan jó lesz, mint Szécsi volt! Jöhet a válogatott következő fénykora! 😪 Benedek Tibor 😪 🌹🌹🌹
Let's be honest. You're not supposed to block a one on one. A field player should be putting away 80-90% of these shots. When you do block one its more on the field player than the goalie. That being said you want to put yourself in the best position to force the field player to make the mistake. The first thing is you need to do is read the player. Are they slowing down around the 4-5 meter line? Are they putting their hand on top of the ball? They may take another stroke with their hand gripping the ball but this usually indicates that they are going to drop their hips and take a vertical shot. If the field player is not slowing down, their staying horizontal, and their still dribbling the ball closer to you then they'll probably take an off the water shot. If it's an off the water shot read then you will get heavier on your legs, bring your hands and arms out in neutral position (making yourself look like a field goal), and as they swim closer you walk forward and get higher out of the water cutting the angle down and forcing the field player to rush their shot and force them to take a poor shot. If they drop their hips for a normal shot then it depends on your size, your leg strength, and how close the field player is to the goal. If they're looking to shoot about 5 meters outs then go with your hands to scull and maintain a strong base because the field player is likely to fake and move you laterally. If they drop their hips inside 4 meters then bring your hands out because they're to close for you to react in time with your hands down in the water. Again you should be heavy on your legs getting your chest out of the water, and your arms and hands in that neutral position (field goal post look). Walk out to cut the angle down and force the shooter again to rush their shot or take the shot they didn't want. Tall goalies with really strong legs will sometimes go hands out even if the shooter is 5 meters out because they can and especially if they're playing and angle. All around tips. Leg strength! If you can stay on your legs with your arms and hands out while maintaining your chest out of the water or higher the more success you'll have blocking one on ones. You can wait for the shooter to make the mistake. Work on your hand eye coordination and reaction time with reaction ball drills, tennis ball drills, etc.
It’s the standard boring answer. A lot of practice and repetition. Running a lot of counter attack drills allows you to learn where you need to place the ball in different scenarios.
