GK Confidence Handling

GK faces a steady rotation of low, medium, and aerial balls served by the coach and one assistant. Outfield players serve in pairs from ten yards. No power shots — this is clean handling and distribution, not a test.

• Get behind the ball before you catch it — body behind, hands through
• Distribution: roll to feet when the target is close, drive long when they're in space
• Talk after every save — set yourself, stay switched on

• GK distributes quickly to a wide player after each save — adds a game-realistic moment
• One outfield player makes a run after the GK catches — GK chooses short or long
