Jesus Saves Soccer Goalie

How do soccer goalies jump everywhere, and land on their faces w/out looking like it hurts?

I played soccer for the first time in a while for fun. We swapped positions, and I played goalie for a few minutes. I dove for a kicked ball and made a good save, but jesus my side/arm where I landed hurt! How do the pro’s jump everywhere landing on there back,side, arms, etc, and jump right back up without being hurt? Does there body get hardened to the impact?

Honestly, a goalie is faced with quick decisions. When a ball is speeding toward the net, you have a second to decide what you are going to do. Chances are you, the game is on the line and you don’t want to let the other team get a goal so you’ll dive. Diving on the ball in practice really hurts. But, in a game, you don’t really pay attention to the pain. Now, the next morning after the game, you will be sore. But, stretching helps that.
