Hi, thanx for your positive input. Did the ‘first place’ insight lead to something else? Cheers Francesco
A excellent read Francesco! It is great to see someone adress one of the most difficult parts of being a goalie.
I’m curious, does anyone else know any other ways of keeping sharp or mental tricks of some sort to improve your game?
Cheers!
Hi Thiemo, thnx for your compliment. Obviously, I’m not someone else, but I do know other tricks to become a/o stay sharp. Presently I’m writing a 2nd on the subject of imagery. Imagery for learning, improving and optimal performance. To learn from the first e-book and how to improve I would like to request all readers to send me their remarks, critics etc. So I can incorporate the feeback into booklet no.2 (or redraw from the initiative 
) I’ll let you know once the next chapter is finished, cheers Francesco
