I was going to type a lot, but m3thods pretty much had the exact experience I did. If I could offer any advice, I would say to try not to get too frustrated with your play. When you first start playing goal at pickup, you're inevitably gonna get absolutely torched. The silver lining to it, at least in my experience, is that I noticed improvement in my play every time I strapped on the pads. I've only been playing goal for about a year so I'm no expert, but like the other dudes in this topic I'd be more than happy to help you with any questions. P.S. Thank you for helping bring the site back up! I don't post super often but I'm here almost every day and it was kinda weird not having it around for awhile, haha.
