Currently, there is a gap in knowledge on what the key goalkeeper attributes are during talent identification and selection in soccer. Hence, the objective was to investigate South African coaches' perceptions regarding key attributes of talented youth soccer goalkeepers.
Cross-sectional survey.
A total of 173 soccer coaches (130 men and 43 women; M = 36.6 ± 10.4 years; M = 8.4 ± 7.3 years) were purposively recruited to participate in the study. All of the participants completed the Talent Identification Questionnaire in Soccer - Goalkeepers (TIDQS-GK).
The six-component solution identified by the principal component analysis accounted for 68.96% of the total variance. Coaches deemed psychological (e.g. concentration, bravery, self-discipline), physical (e.g. speed, flexibility), social (e.g. coachability, communication), technical (e.g. catching the ball, first touch), tactical (e.g. defensive organisation against set plays) and perceptual-cognitive skills (e.g. decision-making) as important factors in identifying talented goalkeepers.
The study offers new insights into the key attributes that soccer coaches look for in talented goalkeepers such as concentration, bravery, speed, coachability and decision-making and could direct coaches towards more objective evaluation strategies for informing their decisions.
目前，在足球人才识别与选拔过程中，对于关键守门员属性的认知存在差距。因此，本研究的目的是调查南非教练对有天赋的青少年足球守门员关键属性的看法。
横断面调查。
通过目的抽样法招募了173名足球教练（130名男性和43名女性；年龄均值为36.6±10.4岁；执教年限均值为8.4±7.3年）参与本研究。所有参与者均完成了足球守门员人才识别问卷（TIDQS-GK）。
主成分分析确定的六成分解决方案占总方差的68.96%。教练们认为心理属性（如注意力、勇气、自律）、身体属性（如速度、灵活性）、社交属性（如可训练性、沟通能力）、技术属性（如接球、第一触球）、战术属性（如针对定位球的防守组织）和感知认知技能（如决策能力）是识别有天赋守门员的重要因素。
本研究为足球教练在有天赋的守门员身上寻找的关键属性提供了新的见解，如注意力、勇气、速度、可训练性和决策能力，并可为教练提供更客观的评估策略，以指导他们的决策。
