My Goalkeeping System

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

The second ball was sent flying toward the left side of the goalpost with no form of elevation and because Dave was still getting up on his feet close to that side of the goalpost, he was only able to stretch his right leg toward it and luckily for him, that was all that was needed to keep the ball out.

The third ball was elevated pretty high toward the middle as the goalkeeper quickly got up from the and dived toward it, but he only managed to make slight contact with it before the ball fell into the goalpost.

"That was so close." He mumbled before getting up from the floor.

"Yeah, you're starting to get there, you can now make the first two balls and get up fast enough to pursue the third ball but not fast enough to save it," Catherine said. "You're getting somewhere, most goalkeepers wouldn't be able to make it to this point and I must say you're getting better at seconds faster than I expected."

"Really? Faster than the person before me?" The goalkeeper asked.
