Savehands Goalkeeping

Following the incredible response to our first goalkeeper psychology survey on match day nerves and anxiety.

Thank you to everyone who took part we are now launching our second survey focusing specifically on how goalkeepers experience and process mistakes.

This is part of an ongoing research project into goalkeeper psychology and every response helps build a more honest picture of what goalkeepers actually go through something that is rarely spoken about openly.

If you are a goalkeeper or goalkeeper coach at any level we would love your honest experience.

3 minutes. Completely anonymous. No right or wrong answers.

Please share this with any goalkeeper or goalkeeper coach in your network .
All levels welcome from grassroots to professional.

Thank you for your continued support 🧤

Last chance and thank you.

The response to the goalkeeper psychology survey on match day nerves and anxiety has been brilliant. But before I close it I want to make sure as many goalkeepers as possible have had the chance to have their say.
If you haven't filled it in yet it only takes 3 minutes and is completely anonymous.

If you have please share it with one goalkeeper or coach you know who hasn't.

Hi all
Could you get your goalkeepers to fill in this small survey for a project I'm working on called The Last Line!

I'm researching the chapter on match day nerves and anxiety and I want to hear your honest experience.

What does pre-match anxiety actually feel like? When does it start? What do you do with it?

3 minutes. Completely anonymous. No right or wrong answers.

Your response could directly shape a chapter that helps every goalkeeper who reads this book feel less alone with something most of us have never spoken about openly.

Thanks Ross
