Perfecciona reflejos y agilidad: porteros más veloces, atentos y confiables en cada jugada.

Reaction and decision exercise under visual pressure

1. Start with first-time passes: The drill begins with one goalkeeper positioned in front of the coach and a teammate standing between them, blocking the goalkeeper's vision. The coach and teammate perform first-time passes, maintaining a steady rhythm.
2. Double stimulus action: At any time, two situations can occur:
- Coach's shot: The coach takes a direct shot at goal while the goalkeeper's vision is still blocked by the teammate. The goalkeeper must react quickly after identifying the ball's trajectory to make the save.
- Teammate Turn Out: Alternatively, a teammate can turn with the ball and advance toward the goal. In this case, the goalkeeper must react immediately to turn out and stop the attempt, adjusting his technique according to the distance.

1. Starting position: The goalkeeper stands in the center of the goal, with his vision limited by a tarpaulin, inflatable defense, or other type of visual obstruction, so that he cannot anticipate the direction of the ball.
2. Reaction to the ball: The coach throws the ball toward one side of the goal. The goalkeeper, unable to see the ball due to the obstruction, must react quickly and drop to the side toward which the ball is directed, executing the appropriate technical gesture (flat or stretched drop, depending on the direction and speed of the ball).
3. Repositioning: After performing the lateral drop and having stopped the ball, the goalkeeper quickly repositions himself in the goal, ready for the next action.
4. Technical Action: A teammate sends a ball toward the goal, to which the goalkeeper must react immediately. Depending on the ball's trajectory, the goalkeeper will perform the necessary technical action, whether it be an aerial block, a frontal save, or a lateral drop, ensuring it is executed with maximum precision and speed.

Start of the drill: The goalkeeper begins the drill just behind a tarp, inflatable bumper, or any other device that restricts his vision. This creates a barrier that prevents him from seeing the coach or the ball at the start of the drill.
Withdrawal to the goal: At the coach's signal, the goalkeeper will withdraw towards the goal, moving quickly until he is correctly positioned in his position.
Reaction to different types of balls: Once in position, the coach will send the ball to one side or the other of the goal. The delivery can be of different types (bouncing, low, mid-height, etc.), so the goalkeeper must react quickly and perform the appropriate technical action (block or deflection) depending on the trajectory and type of ball.
