Goalkeeper Training – Session in Extreme Snow and Cold Conditions (-18°C) Fk Babrungas

Описание: Training session conducted under heavy snow and sub-zero temperatures (-18°C), aiming to maintain technical consistency despite severe weather conditions.
The drills focused on basic foundations: stance, half dive, and front catch, with adjustments made for limited mobility, slippery surface, and cold muscle response.

Key points:

Base and stance: Maintaining a low, stable center of gravity on snow demands superior balance and continuous footwork correction.

Front catch: Reduced hand sensitivity in the cold requires extra focus on grip security and thumb alignment.

Half dive: Movement adapted to reduce impact and protect joints, prioritizing safe landing.

Concentration and warm-up: Active recovery and dynamic warm-ups are essential to prevent injuries in freezing conditions.

Mental resilience: Thermal discomfort and low visibility challenge focus, requiring strong psychological control.

Execution criteria:

Adjust footwork and positioning to slippery and uneven ground.

Ensure clean, secure catches even with wet or frozen balls.

Maintain clear communication, compensating for reduced hearing due to wind and headgear.

Keep focus and fast decision-making under thermal stress.

Organization:

Total duration: 60 minutes.

Structure: Dynamic warm-up, stance and balance, half dive, front catch, controlled finishing drills.

Level: Intermediate / high performance under adverse conditions.
