Hi Harvey,
To improve your diving skills as a goalkeeper, especially for top and bottom corners, you can try these drills:
- Top Hand Saves: This drill helps with high corner saves. Place a cone near the post, and the goalkeeper goes around it to receive a shot into the far top corner. This encourages the use of the top hand technique to make a save in the top corner.
- Low Dive Movement: Focus on reacting to low shots. Start behind cones, move forward, and dive for a shot close to the body. This drill emphasizes getting hands to the ball quickly and securing it.
- Catch, Roll, Dive: This drill involves catching a ball, rolling it back, and diving for a low shot. It helps improve balance and positioning for low corner saves.
