I'm aware there will be lot's of comments asking about height and which height is good for what age, etc. If you are below the age of 20 then don't worry so much about height as you're still growing and you might have a later growth spur. Other than that, I hope you enjoyed this video and found value 👍

I now live in The Netherlands. Believe me: the Dutch still have nightmares with Casillas. I am also goalkeeper, 1 81cm and here (the tallest country in Europe) most of the keepers are between 1'90m and 2m. However, they are not as intense as I am and I win most of the GK duels by far. Mentality is a big thing, you will probably agree that during your best saves you were not thinking on possibilities but just focusing on saving the ball.

I can tell you from experience as someone who is 165 cm tall (5’4). I’ve had to play the goalbox in a different manner such as using the drop step when strikers are looking to take a shot from outside the box to give myself more time to react. As was said in the video footwork is top of the list to work on as well as positioning. Strength is an important factor for being able to make those upper 90 saves so I do hit the gym majority of the time. Handling and distribution I’ve worked on being priority of my attributes. From the amount of pro tryouts I’ve been to, majority of the scouts/coaches have all said the same thing, if they could put the attributes of my play style into someone taller they’d sign me. That being said it gives me hope that one day a coach will say we like everything about you and could use you. I was scouted for the NCAA back when I graduated high school and decided not to take the scholarship due to factors going on in my life but still gives me hope. And I’m sure you can’t get much shorter than myself 😂 so I hope this gives anyone out there hope if they’re taller.

I'm a shoter goalkeeper myself (5' 11") and honestly the only thing I really notice and that others point out often is that I'm am extremely athletic. So in situations like claim crosses and making top corner diving saves I can't say I really fall short of taller goalkeepers as they typically lack the levels of athleticism I have (some what balancing out). So I feel if you're a shorter goalkeeper you short make a genuine effort to become more explosive and train your athleticism

Save , this vid is great as usual , even tho that doesn't apply to me a lot , Ik when I play with people my age U14's , I'll most likely be taller , as I'm abt 5'8 1/2 or 174cm , however when I play in a full size goal , which I may choose myself and love , I have to jump really high for claiming crosses or top corner saves , I'm really agile , 1 on 1's , I much rather prefer pure bravery without caring abt my body , or use strength , but collectively I kinda feel both . Btw how tall would you predict I'd be , I do have a bit of facial hair but not a lot , really want to reach at least 6'1

I’m 5 ft 4 in at 13 yrs old I personally don’t know how tall I’ll be later on. I play goalkeeper but I also play full back and center defense midfielder just in case I don’t get tall enough in the future. I would say play goalkeeper if you want but I would recommend also playing another position based on your current abilities (IE speed, stamina, passing, etc) and go from there. The only reason I play fullback is because I’m really good at defending and I’m pretty fast, and I play CDM because playing as a goalkeeper developed my long passing.
