What skillsets do most club and high school goalkeepers lack to play college soccer at the next level? In this episode of Inside the 18, Michael Magid and Bill Reno break down the brutal mechanical and mental missing pieces that cause youth goalkeepers to fail college tryouts, and college goalkeepers from playing at the next level.
We break down recent live college soccer match film—including a breakdown of a massive top-hand tactical save from recent JUCO action—to show young players, parents, and club coaches exactly how to train for elite game-realism.
