Handball Goalkeeper Training - Cross Leg Footwork and Low Save Reaction

In the video below, the goalkeeper is doing "front cross, back cross" footwork movement until the coach start an audio stimuli, after which the goalkeeper is reacting on the low shot, while performing proper technique for the saves of low shots from 9 meters.

I don't recommend this exercise with very young goalkeepers, because of the specific footwork drill where one foot is crossing the other. We don't want to introduce that crossing legs movement before we make sure that our goalkeeper understands the proper basic movement, and the intentional task in certain exercises.

On the other hand, with more experienced goalkeepers this is just a great exercise, since it's "breaking" the habit and it's "breaking" the normal movement pattern, thus making it more challenging from the cognitive aspect.
