David Beckham Goalkeeping
Just recently we saw Rio Ferdinand don the goalkeeping gloves in an attempt to save Manchester United from getting the boot in the FA Cup vs Portsmouth. It was interesting to find the following video of David Beckham in between the sticks against some kids at a youth training camp for the LA Galaxy. It was great fun to watch a right wing try to pull off some fancy saves against a bunch of kids, but a worthy cause nonetheless, and great to see one of the best help kids in LA get familiar with the game.
Now, a few pointers on what not to take away from the video, if you're a young goalkeeper watching this.
- Don't ever turn your back toward attack after completing a save.
- Don't back peddle when there is an attack on goal, always make yourself BIG.
But one great thing that Beckham did was in the initial attack, dropped low and attacked the ball at the players feet. Enjoy the video.
