Haha! The first few years that I played I was goalkeeper! I was so out of shape and didn’t know how to play so my 8 year old self ‘got stuck’ in the goal. I learned a lot then and loved the position- definitely needs more respect than it’s normally given from my perspective!

Yes, I grew up as a fat kid and it seems to be common for the big kid to be in the position with the least running. I do have great reflexes and hand-eye coordination and continued to play goalie in other sports too but which came first, goal keeping or the skills? Suppose it's one of life's mysteries ;)
