3 Tips to Improve Your Side Volley 🎯 1️⃣ Release, Don’t Throw – Raise the ball to shoulder height & release diagonally away from you. This gives you the space & time to step in & hit the ball sideways ⏳ 2️⃣ Chop Down – Striking centrally through the ball generates the most power and backspin, helping it travel with a truer, more controlled flight. 🪓 3️⃣ Lean Away – Leaning away allows for better rotation, which helps generate more power. It also keeps your body balanced as you lift your leg for the strike. ⬅️ 💡 There are different ways to strike a side volley depending on how you want it to travel, but these tips will help fix common mistakes and get you hitting lower, straighter strikes. #themoderndaygk #gk #goalkeepers #sidevolley

The use of non-grip gloves is more than a training hack; it’s rooted in the science of constraint-based learning. Why It Works: By removing the grip, goalkeepers are placed in an environment where focus becomes non-negotiable. It serves as a task constraint, forcing goalkeepers to adapt their movements and refine their hand positioning, technique, and decision-making. This targeted constraint fosters exploratory learning, encouraging goalkeepers to find effective solutions for ball control, parrying, and catching under more demanding conditions. This approach aligns with the Constraints-Led Approach (CLA), a coaching methodology that challenges athletes by altering equipment or conditions to enhance their skills. #vos #vosgk #themoderndaygk #gktraining #nongrips
