my fat freind sucks at playing goalie in hockey....how can i encourage him?

Answer 1

LOL I would just spend time with him and give him some pointers and give him postive criticism as to what he can do better.

Answer 2

Encourage him to keep playing and be supportive. It is OK if he is fat. I am glad he is being active. When I was a kid I played goalie in soccer all the time. The main reason is that I was very fat (over 200 by 4th grade increasing to over 450 in high school). I could not run to play other soccer positions and was always chosen as goalie. I may not have moved well and would have trouble bending. However, if I went to block or get the ball, no one was going to get in the way. I would get teased by the other team about how fat I was. Since they did not score much, I think I won that argument. Staying active as a fat child was fun even if I was not as athletic.

Answer 3

What about difficulty-free-sized cat-females? Lol. definite, i imagine the Flyers can make the playoffs. by ability of ways, i'm disillusioned interior the Islanders. I knew they'd blow, yet they could have a minimum of fought previous the Bruins and made the playoffs so as that one and all Atlantic branch communities can make the playoffs. The Pens bandwagon hasn't been that undesirable. The Sharks bandwagon in difficulty-free words got here this week and that would want to die down. neither is something like the Sabres bandwagon very last season. we are speaking many, many questions an afternoon and probably a minimum of as a lot of them as there are Flyers and Leafs followers right here mixed.

Answer 4

haha! ok sorry...
well i would definately practice with him a lot (make his skills better), and then (for the weight issue part of it) say somethin' like "hey, i was thinkin of goin on a diet to help me with my hockey and all, and i was wondering if you'd wanna do it with me, yah know, as like a partner or whatever?!?"
maybe try that... if it doesn't work then just encourage him anyway or sit down with his favorite fattening food(s) and watch hockey on t.v. and point out some of the things that the goalies are and aren't doing well

good luck!

Answer 5

If your near a ring, just go there a few times a week and practice with the guy. Body weight actually increases the portion of the goal you protect.

Answer 6

Well, I think what you should do is kick his legs out from under him, shoot the puck in the net and then (while you're standing over him going "Haha you fat tub of **** I scored again!") hit him in the groin with the butt end of your stick and tell him he sucks worse than the Miami Dolphins practice squad.

That should pick up his spirits and encourage him to keep striving for excellence. And you sound like just the kind of terrific friend that could do this for him..........

Answer 7

You might want to start by not calling him fat, and not saying he sucks.

Then, since you are probably too young to be on here, go outside and play, get off the computer, stop playing video games, learn how to play 4-square, kick-the-can, and make a mudpie or something.

Answer 8

It sounds like you aren't in a serious or really competitve league (otherwise the coaches would determine his worth) so just relax... and enjoy yourself... and let him enjoy himself. So what if you lose? There is nothing worse than a beer league sore loser.

I am very competitve and I forget sometimes to check my ego... but in a beer league I make sure that I remind myself that its just for fun. People like you more if you do this.

Answer 9

Keep feeding him, until he is so fat, you can just jam him between the pipes, then tell him how great he is, because nothing get through him.

Answer 10

I suggest you don't show him this question, for starters.
Then again, showing him this question might motivate him to kick your @$$, causing him to burn off those extra calories and get in shape that way. Justa thought.
