Hope Solo, who will likely play as goalkeeper for the USA’s 2008 Olympic soccer team in Beijing, practices her ball defense moves while her coach, Phil Weddon, explains the soccer drills she runs, especially in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Well, weÕre working on the ball that is driven across the goal area and sometimes players have an opportunity to take a touch, sometimes they play it first time, and I was trying encourage them to make another decision. Can they step out and shut that player down or do they have to wait and read the touch of the player? So IÕd ask for the ball to be driven across so that I had to take a touch where I could play it first time. Well, the goal keeper needs to in that situation that we were on the goal keeper needed to be at the near post and then get across the goal to do the shot depending on how fast the ball is coming. If the ball is coming really fast, sometimes itÕs just a case of spreading your body and trying to deny as much space as possible. If they can get across and get set and get ready to save, then itÕs all about getting your body in balance and in dealing with the ball appropriately. Whether they have to dive or stand, I think. Again, thatÕs kind of like a breakaway. ItÕs not an equal 1v1. If I take a touch towards the goal, then they had to clear up to cover the distance between the striker and themselves as quickly as possible. They stay low, make sure their hands are in front of the body not down by the side as theyÕre preparing to save and be equally bounce some. ThatÕs it.
