Ignore the kicker and focus on the ball itself. With the ball only 13 yards away, you will not be able to react after the ball is kicked. Time your lunge for the moment the ball leaves the kicker’s foot, making an educated guess based on the first split-second’s motion as to which side of the net to jump for. Extend your body horizontally across the face of the goal with arms outstretched, covering as much space as possible. Remember: The expectation is for a goal to be scored; if you are able to block the kick, you have performed a minor miracle.
