The role of specific goalkeeper training in the tactical knowledge of young soccer goalkeepers
Abstract
In recent years, significant tactical and technical modifications in the performance of goalkeepers have been observed, which calls for the adoption of specific training to meet such demands. Based on this assumption, this study aimed to evaluate the offensive tactical knowledge of young goalkeepers with and without specific training. The sample consisted of 42 goalkeepers aged 13 to 17 who participated in regional championships. Two groups were created: a trained group (TG) and a non-trained group (NTG). To evaluate offensive tactical knowledge, the TCTOF-BR protocol was applied, which includes the dimensions "tactical knowledge," "operational tactical principles," "collective tactical-technical elements," "knowledge of rules," and "decision-making" (p>0.05). Trained goalkeepers had a better score in tactical knowledge (ES=1.18; p=0.01), operational tactical principles (ES=1.00; p=0.02), collective tactical-technical elements (ES = 1.27; p=0.01), knowledge of rules (ES = 1.06; p=0.01), and decision-making (ES = 1.08; p<0.01). It was concluded that specific goalkeeper training has contributed to developing competencies and increasing knowledge related to football.
