When I was a kid, I was soccer (and field hockey) goal keeper. I loved it. I loved being a hero. I loved saving the game. I also hated to lose or feel like a failure, which is something that still stays with me today.
I remember one day I was at Soccer camp. I was 14 years old and in a scrimmage. There was a forward speeding toward me to my left and she took a shot to the left corner. Somehow, I pushed off my left foot and bounded to the corner of the goal post and saved the ball with the tips of my fingers. Everyone went wild. It felt like a dream, and still does. It's a great memory to think about when I consider being able to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
Take a look below at some amazing saves from other fabulous goal keepers.
