THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE GOALKEEPER’S PERFORMANCE. AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION IS AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH THAT GUIDES THE GOALKEEPER’S TRAINING PROCESS. IT INCLUDES TECHNICAL, SITUATIONAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL COMPONENTS

We mentioned before the concept of optimization of the goalkeeper’s performance, linking it with the search for the stability of the motor gesture (its incorporation into the goalkeeper’s motor pattern) and its ability to execute that gesture with high effectiveness (which allows it to resolve the situation) and, of course, efficiency (with measured movements according to the circumstance). In that context, we specifically refer to Technique Optimization).

In a recent publication on the G-SE Blog, we expanded on the subject, noting that the Technique Optimization constitutes an essential component of a higher level of optimization: the Performance Optimization of the goalkeeper in competition . Since Football is a sport in which uncertainty reigns and each decision-making is conditioned by the environment, the Performance Optimization includes, in addition to the Technique Optimization, tactical, situational, physical, mental and environmental components.

The search for the Performance Optimization is an integrative approach that guides the goalkeeper’s training process, including particular teaching and training guidelines and a method adapted to the goalkeeper’s needs, based on training situations contextualized to the game.
