Bus queue GK warmup

Good morning all, I just started watching a veo recording from one of my students matches at the weekend. He has just joined this team so I was keen to see how he did.

His warmup finished with the classic full team bus queue shooting drill🤯

This is not anywhere near how a goalkeeper should be warming up and if you see your child being put through this then put a stop to it by having a word with the coach .

Reasons it's bad

GK could easily get injured ( generally the ball gets smashed at them)
If he doesn't save many his confidence is going to take a hit.
That volume of shots in a short space of time is unrealistic and I wouldn't even expose my students to that in a training environment 🤷.

When it comes to goalkeeping qualifications in Scotland , this issue is addressed in the 1.2 badge as very bad practice and not beneficial to the goalkeeper.
