What Can Goalkeepers Learn From Ronaldo?

Well, watch this:

So, what can goalkeepers learn from this? Well, Ronaldo has honed his skills through hours and hours of practice. He has practiced so much that he now intuitively knows where the ball is going to go by sub-consciously observing the clues he is receiveing from the player's body shape, the flight of the ball, the trajectory, the space around him and so on and so on.

Ronaldo didn't put the ball in the net, in darkness, by magic and it was not through natural skill. It was simply down to the hours and hours of practice that he has done over many, many years giving him the awareness and experience to know what to do, instinctively, at the right time- regardless of the conditions.

So what can goalkeepers learn from Ronaldo? To get excellent you have to practice; the more training you do, the more shots that you save, the more intuitive you will be in match situations. Simple!
