Getting back to soccer

Asked by ginger93 about 1 year ago, 4 answers.

hiii =]
I play soccer (Goalie) and I suffered a a concussion about 2-3 months ago. So, After basically forcing my doctor to say I could play and taking me off the pain medication...I finally get back to GK practice. and I SUCK. like I'll admit I wasn't...

totally horrible..but I was insanely out of shape. like I was panting after warmup.EW and I honestly played like s**t.. and it was sooo obviious too. so ...is there anyone that knows how to bounce backk...I know I need to get touches on the ball...but is there any faster way to get back?

plus for all you goalies that can help---
--my reaction speed is slow
--my attacking step is way too far in front and I'm diving backwards
--and when I do dive correctly..I'm parrying the ball...not catching it...I think its because I'm moving too slow and don't have times to get my arms up in timee...but what do you thinkk??
--and just soo you guys knoww...the reason I'm soo confused is because I don't usually have trouble with my formationnn...so I don't really get why it would give me trouble now..

the medication it sounds like has screwed up your timing. I think it will just take a few practices to get your reaction time back. don't freak out yet...it was only one practice!

a concussion is a head injury. anything like that would mess up your motor skills and timing. don't worry, it'll come. maybe you should get together with a buddy and practice a little on the side.

good luck! (ps, I'm a goalie/sweeper too! rock on!)

Well, maybe talk to your coach to get a little extra time to practice. Or, like sillygirl006 said, you can practice with some friends, or maybe a family member.
