Goalkeepers need good footwork to get their body into position to make the correct save. Our hands make the save, but our feet get us there. Quality training on footwork will improve all goalkeepers and should be trained on the soccer field daily. We can improve our footwork with little to no equipment and you certainly don't need a soccer field. The only limit will be your imagination. Staying on your toes and sharpening your movement will see you make more saves and be more efficient in the goal.

It simply does not matter that you have the softest hands in the world if your feet do not get those “soft” hands to the ball. But, once you can get there and get set, these hands are the next critical step in having success.
Footwork is an essential aspect of a goalkeeper's repertoire. A goalkeeper's footwork can prove the difference between saving the game or letting one slip into the back of the net. Quality goalkeepers develop footwork early in their careers and perfect it throughout.
