Advice for young Goalkeepers:
Calm down with the path of your career. As a hockey goalie you probably won't reach the peak of your career or your top level if your friends of your age do. You simply need more time as a goalkeeper. This sometimes leads to some frustration, especially in younger years and for many goalkeepers to quit the sport early. Therefore, it is very important to be aware of this aspect.
