Then what does a keeper coach stress in OT PK's? which by the way are totally different than a regulation time PK.

It depends on how the GK reacts to PKs if they love them then they usually do good with saving them ... if they dont then they might not do so hot ... also it is all about reading the kicker to decide which way they are going you and its dependent a lot on reaction also... All GK coachs teach differently some say to guess a side and dive and others say wait and react but it is really up to the keeper to decide what is more comfortable for them.

How are they different, other than having to play the rebound during regulation?

Not being silly but you answered your Q already. Playing the rebound is the entire difference. Most saves you make in order to not allow a rebound.
Make a save + keep the ball= two things, make a save= one thing. Get on a ceral box by making the PK shooter keep her shirt on = priceless.

The pressure is always on the kicker to make the shot, not on the keeper to make the save.




Totally Disagree. I've never spoken to a keeper who wasn't anxious during PK's. I've never seen a keeper loose in PK's and blame their shooters for not making all their shots when the Keeper didn't make any saves. Keepers are just as important to do their job and the keepers and are under more pressure because they face 5 kickers. Show me a keeper who doesn't feel the pressure to stop the shot and I'll show you a keeper who lacks PASSION!

I read a statistic towards the beginning of the season that said professional keepers average 6 saves per 100 penalty kicks.




I'd like to see that statistic. I think this is way under stated. I would GUESS that 30% of pros save PK's.

Mam, I'm just repeating what the professional keeper coaches have told my daughter during training.

I know keepers get anxious during PK's, it would be unnatural if they didn't. But if the kickers don't make their kicks, the saves mean nothing.

Sorry, I read in your prior post Keeper Coach, not Professional Keeper Coach. So what you mean is one gets paid to coach keepers and the other was a professional Keeper who coaches? I expect the one who is paid to coach keepers is relaxed and uses a psych job to tell players its the kickers who are under all the pressure... while the Professional Keeper who also coaches knows the pressures of being fired if he/she didn't stop any PK's.

I've also been around Keepers who were professionals (MLS) and every one of them said it was their job to stop the ball. Pressure or not?

I think we're getting into a which came first scenerio of the chicken and the egg. I'll be happy to agree that both have pressures and if they can't handle it, then step aside and let someone else handle pk's.
