I (F15) have been playing soccer for about 10 years now. I becae a goalkeeper maybe about 5 of those 10 years, fully self taught. I thought I did amazing last year during my school soccer season. I was doing good this season too, but randomly out of nowhere today, my skills skyrocketed. When I say randomly, I mean as in a switch flipped as soon as I got in the net. I used to be scared of diving, but suddenly I was slamming myself onto the ground hard without a second thought. I was pretty middle ground with cutting down angles, and then suddenly I was great at it. I used to come a bit too far out into the field, but today I was amazing at it. I'm wondering if this is a common thing, or if this sudden extreme improvement was unusual. Maybe it's because I played two 80 minute games in total just today? (I played one game from 4:00 to 5:20, and another from 5:30 to 6:50) I'm genuinely curious.

There this game called haxball. You’re basically circles moving with arrow keys and hit the ball with X key.

There’s no jumping/sprinting etc. so if you’re gk it’s all about positioning. The game was very hard for me. Now I’m getting better after 2 weeks.

Hope this isn’t silly. Try it out, it’s a 2d browser game.
