High — Fast best-case reactions
Access Gap
16 points
Moderate — Timing under conflict
Technically solid goalkeeper whose upside is unlocked through faster, cleaner commitment under pressure and more stable brain-to-body timing late in sequences.
WHY the gap exists
Decision speed drops ~150ms when the read changes late (deflections, cross-to-shot flips, 1v1 switches). Right-side timing shows occasional late outliers that force emergency movement mechanics.
WHAT is limiting performance
Late commitment in chaotic situations creates half-steps and delayed set positions. Rising asymmetry and workload drift through sessions degrades timing quality when it matters most.
HOW it can be unlocked
Train commit speed when first reads are wrong. Tighten right-side consistency. Build late-session stability so decision quality and body control hold up in the final phases of matches.
REACTION & ANTICIPATION
Dive Reaction Speed & Consistency
How fast and reliable are your first movements?
Left Side
Elite timing
Right Side
Adequate but variable
Outlier detected: 510ms
Best (both): 247ms | Worst L: ~330ms | Worst R: 510ms
Your left side is fast and consistent. Right side averages 20ms slower with occasional late reactions that force rushed, awkward movements instead of clean, early sets.
Late outliers on right side create emergency dive mechanics — higher injury exposure.
Coach: "On second balls and deflections, does he get a clean first move every time — or does he hesitate then explode?"
Best-Case Reaction Capacity
What's your nervous system capable of when the read is clean?
Scale: 200ms (elite) to 350ms (average) | Top 15% of professional GKs
When the situation is clear, your reactions fire at elite MLS level. The ceiling is there — we're working on accessing it consistently.
Raw speed is not the limiting factor — it's consistency and decision timing under complexity.
Coach: "On routine saves with a clear read, does he look calm and early?"
DECISION TIMING & CONTROL
Commit Speed Under Conflict
How quickly do you commit when the first read changes?
When you have to suppress the wrong answer and switch to the right one, your brain takes an extra 150ms to commit. That's the difference between being set early and making a late decision on crosses that turn into shots, deflections, or 1v1s where the picture flips.
Late commits = half-steps = groin and knee exposure.
Coach: "On plays where 'come vs stay' or 'dive vs stay central' flips late, does he commit cleanly or does he start one way, stop, then go?"
Decision Accuracy Under Complexity
How clean are your reads when the situation is chaotic?
Your accuracy is solid on straightforward plays but drops when the situation forces you to change your mind mid-sequence.
12-point accuracy drop under conflict suggests hesitation or wrong initial commits.
Coach: "Does he commit to the wrong option early and have to adjust, or does he wait too long to commit at all?"
STABILITY & SESSION DURABILITY
Late-Session Timing Stability
Does your timing quality hold up when fatigue hits?
Green (80-100) | Yellow (60-80) | Red (<60)
Your timing starts strong but degrades as the session continues. This is when decision errors and awkward body mechanics emerge.
Most goalkeeper injuries happen in the late-session window when timing quality drops.
Coach: "In the last 15 minutes of training or the second half of matches, does his movement quality stay clean or does he start looking reactive?"
Left-Right Symmetry Under Load
Are both sides working equally as fatigue builds?
As workload increases, your brain starts relying more heavily on one side to control movement. This creates one-direction compensation patterns that feel 'off' and increase injury risk.
Asymmetry drift = one-side overload = hip, groin, and knee exposure.
Coach: "Late in sessions, does one direction feel cleaner than the other — or do his landings on one side look messier?"
Secondary Detail
Neural Drift (Session)
Timing + decision sharpness
Sharpness drops late — timing gets sloppier and decisions slow down.
Coach: Watch late-session closeouts/cuts — rotate earlier or reduce stacked reps.
Brain-Body Convergence
Is the body doing what the brain is asking it to do?
Brain and body remain aligned, but both lose sharpness late.
Coach: This points to neural fatigue rather than coordination breakdown — manage late-game mental load.
Emerging Risk Flags
Early warning patterns based on color and risk type
Risk flags show late-session drift — protect quality late and monitor asymmetry.
Coach: If late reps get sloppy, shorten bursts, rotate earlier, and re-test after recovery.
Primary Unlock Levers
Train Conflict Commit Speed
Reduce the 150ms delay when the first read is wrong. Use 'flip-read' drills where initial information changes late (deflection, cutback, late runner, coach call forcing switch). Score clean, early commits — penalize half-steps. Target: +50-70ms faster decision-to-commit on chaotic plays.
Tighten Right-Side Consistency
Eliminate 500ms+ outliers through short, sharp right-side reaction blocks. 6-10 explosive reps to right-side demand patterns. Stop when quality drops — training repeatability, not grinding fatigue. Target: Cleaner set positions, fewer emergency saves, reduced joint stress.
Build Late-Session Stability
Train timing under fatigue. Short conditioning burst (20-30 sec) immediately followed by decision drill (1v1, cross, second ball). Rep only counts if first commit is decisive. Prevents timing from spiraling when tired. Target: Hold decision quality and body control in final match phases.
