GK Double Save — Set, Recover and React

A goalkeeper-specific practice focused on the second save. The goalkeeper deals with an initial shot, recovers feet and body position, then reacts immediately to a second finish from a different angle.

Train the goalkeeper to recover quickly from the first save and execute a second action with correct set position.
