Tltr Number3 is maybe the only important thing to realize. Dont think about what to do, whats gonna happen, how the ball is gonna come in, what the next match is gonna look like. Dont try to visualise situations before or in the game. I've had really big problems in my early years, lots of mistakes and i would say a kind of anxiety to be in the goal. The thing is, the mistakes and failures, the things that go wrong( wich you easily handle in training, like simply catching the ball), it all goes wrong because you thought about it in that moment. Even the big names make horrible failures, and you can see the lil thoughts in their eyes right before, within that splitsecond... and a laughable ball goes in, right trough their hands. Act like a predator, like a lion, just focus, let your instincts take over. Everything has to be automatic, yourself doesnt exist on the field. In training overthink everything, be nervous, experiment new things, try as hard as you can. But in the game switch off yourself, be not you, be something else... a goalkeeper.

I practice stoicism while playing as a goalkepper. Not everything is under my control, but I must do my best in what is in my hands. Amor Fati, focus in the present and love it. Premeditateo malorum, prepare to keep still in bad situations.
Calm cool composed breath trust
my problem is my start I'm not focused at all in the first 5-10.
As a goalkeeper I struggle with keeping my calm I lose my temper in games what advice do you give me to keep me calm
When you notice that you want to get angry, first drink water and breathe and let yourself know that getting angry isn't just the right way to do this job, keep your calm
