Explained in plain English

Do goalies need more experience?

Unlike outfield players who often peak in their mid-20s, goalkeepers typically reach their prime later, often in their late 20s or early 30s. This is because the position demands not just physical prowess but also immense mental maturity, tactical understanding, and decision-making skills, which only come with extensive playing time and experience at the top level.
