HOW to become a world class goalkeeper 

I'm reminded of Anna Maria Picarelli (5-4 / 1.63 m). Of course, height helps in this position, but being shorter should not cause coaches to not even consider goalkeepers solely for that reason. There are other factors that play pivotal roles in making a good goalkeeper, such as everything that you said.

You're making an excellent point, because as far as I know, goalkeepers need to be at least 6 feet (roughly 182 cm) tall. My height is approximately 172 cm, yet I did not let this hold me back from playing in the position. The attributes that make an excellent keeper in my opinion (regardless of height) are: [A] Athleticism (explosiveness and strength mainly), reflex swiftness, distribution and [B] positioning, communication, leadership, authority, decisiveness, courage and resilience. Playing as a goalkeeper is definitely not for the faint hearted because the majority simply won't feel comfortable with the idea of deliberately hitting the ground and standing in front of a 50 mph flying projectile and stopping it with their hands. Goalkeepers are underrated till this day, but there is a change in the wind I sense. Cheers and to all of those who play or even aspire to stand in goal, raise up your chin and BE PROUD because you're EXCEPTIONAL!

would you like to tell your height?

I never had the chance to join a football academy but from the age of 8 to 14 played like neymar and Messi combined age then didn't play football for 7yrs straight if I get the chance I should try to be a keeper cuz I'm better than neuer with my feet. Maybe I should be a keeper than a winger

Same height. You to short to make it. Be a left or right back

Thank you, Greg! Spread the word...

50 push-ups for the research department, 100 for the fact checker 😁

@Dude Pubg Let us quote Joe Pesci: "Funny how? What's funny about it?"

Lol, what? The goals are arbitralily a bit too big, considering the height difference, but it's not like professional female goalkeepers have no saving technique you sexist pri*ck
