Why do
you play?
I play for the glory and competition of the game and to be a part
of a team |
Why are
you a goalie?
When I first started there wasn't anyone else who wanted to play
so I figured I would give it a try. I grew to love it. From then
on I enjoyed the glory of the position and the importance and pressure
of it. |
How important
is the goalie position?
Goalie is the most important position on the field. They are the
anchor and leader of the defense, they are the last line of defense
and can control the outcome of the game alone. |
Any advice
for aspiring goalies?
I would say it is important for goalies to practice as much as they
can and go to as many camps. The more shots and practice they can
get the better off they will be. Foot work is very important to
becoming a good goalie. The most important part of being a goalie
is confidence in your ability to make any save against any shooter. |
Quote
regarding the goalie position
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triupmhs
even though checkered by failure, then to take rank with those poor
spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live
in the gray twilight that knows not victory or defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt |
