Worst Goalie Or Best Lesson

September 14th, 2010 - by Robby Slaughter

There’s no way to set up this video. Just take one minute and three seconds of your time to watch the entire thing.

Here’s the clip (direct link)

On the one hand, you have to feel for the defending player, who was confident that he stopped the ball and could take a moment to relax. But we all know that blocking a shot doesn’t necessarily mean our work is done.

You can also be certain that this goalie will never make this mistake again. In future penalty kicks, he will definitely pick up the ball and retain control.

Sometimes we need to fail dramatically to improve our game. Sometimes the smartest protocols come from realizing what can happen—however unlikely—if we don’t take precautions. Put simply, failure is the secret to success.
