A soccer team is composed of eleven players and you can have any combination of defenders, midfielders and attackers, but you can only have one goalkeeper. Most people think the goalie is not that important but history has shown that goalkeepers can be very influential on the outcome of a match and are very important for example cup final and even the world cup have been won over a penalty shoot out, so imagine if your team did not have a good keeper and they were involved in a cup final the results will be disastrous. These are some of the reasons why big European clubs like Manchester, Chelsea, and Arsenal etc spend millions of dollars on signing a new goalie every season.  The goalkeeper is the most important player on the team because you can have the best set of players on your team but if you have a bad goalie then you are going to lose every game. The goalkeeper is the last line of defense of a team and his main job is to ensure that the other team does not score. A goalkeeper has very little room for mistakes because a single mistake could cost the team the game.

A soccer goalie is under pressure all the time and has to be alert for the entire game, so the most important thing for a goalkeeper is to maintain his calm in difficult situations. A goal keeper can also play an extra role, that of motivating the team. If you have watch top class goalies like Oliver Kahn shouting out at his defense, this is to try and keep them alert and in the game.

One of the first answers that comes to mind when asked this question is height, most people believe in order to be a good goalkeeper you need to be tall which is not true. Just because you are short does not mean that you cant be a goalkeeper some of the best goalkeepers in the world were not that tall take for example the Mexican Jorge Luis Campos who was only 1.68m tall.

To be a good goal keeper you need to have skill, although height does play a part skill is more important, a goal keeper needs to have good physical strength does he will usually have up to two players around him jumping for the ball especially when a corner kick is being taken . Here are some of the other skills a good goalkeeper should have.

Motivating your players: a goal keeper has to have good mental abilities and communication skills because what the goalkeeper says will affect the performance of the team, so its important not to complain all the time someone makes a blunder that’s the coaches job you should motivate the players all the time even when your team is trailing 5:1 you need to stay calm and try to boost their confidence becu8ase the worst thing to have as a field player is a goalkeeper who is always complaining about your poor performance.

Analyze the game: a good goalkeeper keeps analyzing the game, this is the same as recording your matches, this is a bit difficult to do because you will have to keep watch of your goal, try to analyze your strengths and weaknesses during the game and make a mental note of them, then you can right them down after the match and bring them to practice and work on them as a team.

Reinstate the attack: this is one skill every goal keeper must master because knowing how to reinstate the attacks is important because they give your team the opportunity to launch a counter attack quickly before the other team can regroup and defend. As a goal keeper you need to throw and kick the ball with precision its not just a matter of kicking and hoping for the best you need to have someone on the receiving end of every kick or throw that you make, a good goalie can throw and kick a ball accurately to about 40 yards .

Organizing your defense: a good goal keeper should be able to organize his defense, for example he has to be able to make the wall stand properly when a free kick is being taken or during a corner. Most mistakes results from deflections off team members or the goal keeper bumping into one of his own players.

What player do you think you are? With this in mind the following - what limits you believe it is appropriate to play? It does not matter whether we talk about the Internet. Your place is big tournaments? Are you 100-200 player. Maybe you are one of the "big" in Belazhio, or your level of $ 0.50-$ 1.00 fixed limit tables? Answer you risk hiding your poker bank, especially when you try to build it.

Recently entered into a series of minor sore. And as I wrote earlier, began his adventure with online poker bank amounted to only $ 50 to try and I, along with many other poker authors to repeat the achievement of Fargyusan Chris, who made $ 10,000 online, starting from scratch (yes, I know that is my dodge, but, believe me, do not have that unnecessary time to go through hell to friyrolite only and only to make the first few dollars. judge me.)

In the beginning I had some scruple in terms of levels of that play. Afford to participate in games and tournaments, which were consistent with my bank. Peak moment came when I turned my $ 50 to $ 2300. Then things looked pretty good in terms of my future earnings. At the same time I set my limit that, if they get into a bad series and lost more than 20% of accumulated so far, had to be forced to withdraw money from the account and spend them for fun with my family. So eliminate $ 1350 earnings until realized, which ensure that the whole project will be a profitable enterprise for me. I know that no one knows how "play" in this, but I am not supporter of the theory that a player must destroy several times before making his "great shock". I believe that if we keep this idea in their heads, even if you manage to hit the big win, it will ultimately lose her.
Which returns me to my original question - namely, what kind of player are you?

One of the most pleasant parts of the initiative was a gradual ascent to the higher limits. While $ 1 at the beginning of the game of profit Stad with limits $ 0.04-$ 0.08 was an occasion for joy, when it's doubling 80 dollars, which started a game with limits $ 2 - $ 4, or when "enter the money of the tournament with a $ 20 entrance determined was feeling more comfortable. flow of endorphin is stronger when win bigger amounts.

Began to define himself "at least" as $ 2 - $ 4 limit player, SnG player ranges between $ 12 and $ 27 entrance, and player of $ 0.50-$ 1.00 game without limit. Unfortunately, due to the reduced draw poker bank was subjected to quite serious risk that carries the normal variation of profits and losses in poker. and I did. At this point online poker for money I had less than $ 250, due to a combination of poor play and inatlivo driven by my ego idea of what level "deserve" to play.

Ego says: "Keep playing the same levels? Luck you will certainly occur, and once you have proved successful as a player there, it will be so! "

Ego says: "You need only one good tournament result and will go back where you belong!"

That inner voice that asks to make payment of the River hopeless when your opponent has taken one of the four dragons cards. Afraid that this is actually the voice of the losers.
The winner controls the ego, not his ego. The winner was calm because I knew the universe does not owe him anything and realizes that luck is variable. Moreover, it is not shameful to disembark at a safe low level, where you can relax and rethink his game to break again over time. In many aspects, just ego provoked by gambling to cause this collapse of the economies with which the world must fight now. Bankers created a situation that began to play an ever higher and higher levels and make even more risky bets. Everything was great until the percentage of profits, as always happens, do not turn their direction.

In recent days drastically diminished the levels of which play, as well as entrances to pay for tournaments. Go back to limit games $ 0.25-$ 0.50 and tournaments with entry $ 4 - $ 5. If you need to be honest, I was easy. Catch is that the current risk of a weak hand, just because they do not appreciate the value of money, for which play. Become impatient with regard to how slowly gains accruing to low levels. As a result, the siege hands, which I know to throw. Ironic is that in the past, even when playing at lower levels, I was completely satisfied with the small victories. But the taste of fast profits gives me no peace.
I need to do something very simple. You should be back attitude, which started all this. It is not complicated, just enjoy the challenge of playing my best game in the name of profit, regardless of limits. To stay focused all the time and know the right moves that have to do at any time, is satisfaction, which in many ways is even more money from the profits.

You were there, right? That place in which everything becomes crystal clear where you know exactly when to bluff, feel the right time harassing others know when you should be passive. This is territory which is inhabited by large players. There live those who win in the long term. This is the place in which truly want to be.
