I've done it for many years and accrued a great number of injuries, but similar to cam_wmh when you make that great save the feeling is amazing.

If I had one piece of advice it would be to echo something cam said but expand on it, not only can hesitancy get you injured, but own your area.

Crosses, Corners, one-on-one, whatever, in most Rec leagues the keeper is the only one still allowed to slide and tackle.

Own your space. Your defenders will love you for it. Be vocal and be aggressive.

But if you're going to go for the ball be sure to tell your defenders and above all....make sure you get that ball. If you miss it you will look like a gigantic jackass.
