What is a belief system and how does one develop it? In a nut shell, it is a structural set of principles (tenets) held to be true and guide the individual in how they behave or respond to life and its challenges. These principles encompass aspects of moral behaviour, purpose, intention, evidential and absolute realities. So, why does a goalkeeper need a belief system?, I hear you ask. Looking back to the Euros 2024, I remember the quarter-finals match between Portugal and Slovenia when the matched dragged on through to penalty shoot outs and both goalkeepers had to step up and produce a performance that would take either team through to the semi finals. Then, Diego Costa steps up and produces a 3 in a raw penalty save performance that catapults Portugal into the semi-finals, but when the same opportunity presented it self in the semi's against France, Diego came short of the previous surge seeing Portugal out of the race.
Question? Why did Costa who had performed brilliantly in the previous penalty shoot out, now "lose wind" when he was needed the most? what could have possibly gone wrong? and why is this important to consider. As a young keeper developing your potential and realising yourself through this process, It is important for you to understand the underlaying factors that build up a winning mind set. Just like any other collection, set or (group of things), the performance of a goalkeeper will be determined by what he/she chooses to collect, keep or treasure in the mind as principles or guidelines that govern that process. This kind of training usually takes time to mature or develop because a variety of experiential knowledge is required among other things but once it takes hold in ones life, it becomes the anchor that stabilizes ones life through out life and this among others, is why Capellionsports is the number one Goalkeeper academy in North London.
