What makes for a good gk session when training for cutback scenarios? Hint: it's not just working on technique!
When defending the goal from attacks down the end line, positioning for these cut back scenarios is crucial. Depending on the location of the ball and the attacking player the goalkeeper could:
-Set just outside the front post facing that player,
-Angle a bit more open to the field, or
-Position inside the post more toward the middle of the goal.
Understanding where to position yourself for each of these scenarios should be the focus of all good cutback training sessions. Stay tuned for more videos from us to explain each of these scenarios in more detail.
