Stop training for saves like gym PRs.
If you load heavy without hip + ankle control, your landing mechanics get “loud” and your recovery gets “slow”. The fix isn’t more squats—it’s goalkeeper-specific strength that protects the way you push off and stick the landing.
A simple warm-up starting point:
• Split-stance calf raises (slow, controlled)
• Ankle rocks into a loaded position
• Short hip-dominant hinges before any plyos
At Watford Injury Clinic, we help you build a strength & conditioning foundation that supports explosive pushes and quick recoveries—without the aches.

What’s been the hardest to stay pain-free: landing, push-off, or getting back up after diving?
