Sports selection of goalkeepers in modern strategies of the game of football teams

Abstract

A goalkeeper in a football team is a player of a special playing role. Since ancient times, a simple sporting truth has been defined in football: if a team has a reliable goalkeeper, this is half of the overall success of the team's game. However, it is precisely due to their "professional peculiarity" that goalkeepers for a long time have been partially deprived of due attention in the process of sports selection of players of various roles. At present, certain attempts have been made to introduce into the system of functioning and training of football teams the position of coaches who would be engaged in specialized training and sports training of goalkeepers. This approach mainly applies to highly qualified teams and powerful football academies. Real Holistic Concepts of Specialized Training and Sports Training of Goalkeepers as a System Product of the Process of Sports Selection in the Ukrainian scientific and methodological space are practically absent. Usually, the educational and training process with the participation of goalkeepers is, as a rule, the result of the generalization of their own professional and playing experience of goalkeeper coaches. The significant relevance of the study of competitive activity based on the use of methods of sports selection of goalkeepers in modern football has led to the choice of the topic and the structure of writing and forming the concept of this scientific and practical study.
