So for those of you who have been in it longer than me, what's the expectation of a proper warmup for a keeper? Reason I ask is that Jeff Tackett in his newsletter has an interesting piece on the warmup. He says it's important not just for injury avoidance and performance, but also because even though a recruiter might not watch the warmup, since a keeper is supposed to be a leader, they won't think much of keeper that doesn't demand a proper warmup.
What do you think about a keeper (or for the younger's their parent) demanding such a warmup? I think that was one of the reasons we got in the gutter with the old club (they'd only give him a proper warmup if the keeper coach was there and that was only home games....otherwise it was the old let's shoot on the keeper which Tackett especially tears into) so I'd think I'd be a bit gunshy about this. In fairness, the coaches had multiple teams and were often juggling. Does it change as they get older?
What's involved in a "proper" warmup in your opinion?
