WHY GOALKEEPERS NEED MINDSET TRAINING...
1. They come under the most scrutiny on the pitch
2. They play on the edge of failure - one mistake nearly always leads to a goal
3. They have to be comfortable taking risks - this requires confidence
4. They have to deal with the opinions of people who have never played the position before
5. They have to love pressure and responsibility
6. They need to be effective leaders - they can see the whole pitch
7. They need to be resilient - mistakes are inevitable in goalkeeping
8. They need strong emotional control - events in the game must not distract their focus
9. They need to be able to recover from mistakes - one moment cannot impact the rest of the game
10. They need to be consistent across a 40+ game season - consistent goalkeepers are high-performance
