Wheddon: There are three types of breakaways a keeper must identify.
Before the shot is taken: the ball has been played in front of the forward, so the keeper has an opportunity to get to the ball first. The keeper must read the distance between the ball and the forward, and if she can get there first, she needs to win the ball outright
During the shot: This is when the keeper makes a save on the ball at the exact same time the forward gets there. This is a very courageous save.
Forward has complete control of the ball: when the forward is dribbling at the keeper, the keeper must stay on her feet as long as possible to force the forward into make a bad touch.
