Whether a team wins or loses a soccer game depends on their goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is responsible for blocking the ball from entering the goal, allowing the opposing team to score a point. To be a good goalkeeper, one must be agile. Agility is the ability to read the situation and quickly respond to a stimulus.¹ When the goalkeeper sees the ball heading for the top corner of the goal, they quickly jump and raise their arms to block it, preventing the opposing team from scoring. The goalkeeper’s agility saves the day.
