know this may sound funny but my goal keeper is pretty good but he is scared of the ball! How are you going to be a goal keeper and be scared of the ball. I guess after the first time of getting hit with it, it kind of turned him off to wanting to be in that position. I want to get him more comfortable playing his role again but not only that I need some really good goal keeper drills for him to work on. Are there any that he can use to work on, on his own.

The following describes a warm-up routine that goalkeepers can do at the beginning of every practice and during pre-game warm-up. It helps develop basic goalkeeping techniques, flexibility and agility needed for Guarding the Goal. Once the GK learns this routine, she or he can do it on their own. It’s not a substitute for learning tactical play but at least provides a way for the GK to work on key technical skills every session.
Stretch-Up - holding the ball overhead with both hands stand on tiptoes and stretch up as high as possible.
Figure 8 - with legs spread apart and knees straight, roll ball on ground with both hands in a figure 8 pattern around the legs.
Bouncing and Jumping - with two hands throw ball down to the ground - as it hits the ground jump up in the air, at height of jump catch the ball and throw it down again. Ball and body should move up and down together.
Bounce Ball Behind - holding ball with both hands, turn upper body to right, throw ball to ground behind, turn to left and catch ball. Repeat several times and then do it bouncing ball from the left side. In addition to working on flexibility, this helps develop reflexes to grab a loose ball to the side or behind a GK!
Toss Up and Catch - toss ball in air, jump up taking off on one foot and catch the ball as high in the air as she can, alternate taking off from right foot and from left foot.
Rolls with Ball - holding ball with both hands (not with arms) do several forward rolls and backward rolls.
Jumps over Ball - with both feet together (heels touching) jump over the ball forwards and backwards several times, then from side to side.
Kick and Catch - (with partner or trainer) toss and kick balls to each other at varying heights and speeds. Use outside of instep. Practice kicking with right AND left foot. While GoalKeepers will usually use their better foot in games, as with field players, there are times it is beneficial to use the other foot. To be able to do this, it’s important to practice with both feet.
And kick with the instep itself. Again, practice with both feet.
Punch It - (with partner or trainer) toss balls high and to sides for punching. Note: Make sure GK does not point thumb up towards flat top of fist where it would stick out and could get jammed. It should be tucked around to the side of the fist. Practice with a) two fists together, b) right fist and, c) left fist.
Punt, Roll and Throw - (with partner) punt, roll and throw ball to each other from short, medium and long distances. This distribution is a “pass” so the partner should trap rather than catch the ball. GK should try to make it easy for his partner to control the ball.

I use to be a goalie for about 4 years and I was pretty good but I also got scarred after being kicked in the face twice in one game from break a ways. It's almost as if you have it or you don't. I would definitely have your goalie watch some games on TV and in person and focus on the goalkeepers. I would practice the situations that mostly scare your goalie whether it is break a ways or having to go up and get the ball. Let your goalie now that it is a contact sport but that the Ref is also out there to protect the goalie.
