As a goalie parent, I agree. My kid is a good field player. He is in good shape, is relatively fast, high game IQ, high work ethic etc. . . But he is an amazing goalie because he is fearless, mentally tough, very quick, and has explosive strength. Those skills matter most as a goalie so goalie is where he is happiest and where he shines.
How tall is he?
He is likely to be well over 6 feet

It’s harder to get goalie spots, teams need less so this isn’t accurate.
Whether they get better money is unknown, really. If a team has a frosh, soph goalie they expect to be the starter, are they overpaying for another? 2 or 3 on a team? I doubt it.
I do know in the Ivy and Division 3, the money's the same regardless of position.
That’s cause the cheddar is $0 for athletics schollies at those schools.

Not what the pp was saying. Said it was easier to get $$ as they ain’t paying their 10th attack man.

Same goes for male goalies in college. I don’t think you will find an unfit, overweight kid on any college team.

"overweight", are we in the 1990s using BMI as a way to determine fitness?
You cannot play high level goalie without being athletic. You can be "overweight" and also a great athlete.
Exactly that. It’s also just a lie. Name the kid + school on the 2025 roster for the ivy who is 5’7/210. It’s not real.
Once again, I posted just 2 examples as the post I replied to said the absolute that there wasn't one player in all of Division 1. They happened to be goalies. It would be pretty easy to find others (although not tons).
The absolute takes and generalizations on this thread are not just hilarious, but wholly off topic from the OP's question, intent and post. And his kid is in 4th grade.
