Suppleness<br />

Suppleness not only allows the effectiveness of technical<br />

manoeuvres to be improved, but also reduces the number of<br />

muscle, tendon and joint injuries.<br />

Some authors have developed tests that combine a physical<br />

quality with a football activity. These consist of different skills<br />

circuits, with or without a ball, (slalom, passing, roll, etc.)<br />

in which the goalkeeper participates along with the other<br />

players. These can also be adapted such that, for example,<br />

the goalkeeper dives for a stationary ball. If the goalkeeper<br />

has problems with coordination, the goalkeeping coach will<br />

already have detected this. In general, tests of this kind are<br />

not particularly helpful because they do not provide any<br />

information that is useful for making improvements.<br />
