Characteristics of the Approximate-Optimal Training Indicators of Goalkeepers in Modern Football by Igor Doroshenko, Andrii Svatyev, Valerij Shamardin, Bogdan Khorkavyy, Daria Vaniuk, Eduard Doroshenko

“…The results of experimental studies allow us to state that in the process of long-term sports training of football goalkeepers, the most significant psychological characteristics of the individual are: a high level of motivation to achieve the set goals, hard work, determination and psychological stability in the process of training sessions and competitive activities. In addition, the following indicators are critically important for the high-quality training of goalkeepers for professional football teams: morphometric parameters (height, limb length, weight, limb structure, muscle structure and ligament-articular apparatus), the level of development of leading motor abilities, manifestations of anticipatory reaction and subjective forecasting (anticipation of the flight of the ball, the moment and direction of the blow, the development of the game situation), physical fitness (general and special) and the pace of learning specific motor and technical-tactical actions of the goalkeeper.…”
