I hear you. My wife got scholarship to play D2. I consider myself a very good athlete, and I definitely have well above average hand-eye coordination and reflexes. I have stood in goal for her to practice PKs, and it is fricking TERRIFYING. She also considers herself to only be about average at PKs. Reading which way she will go is almost impossible, and even when I do, there have been plenty of times where I get a hand on it and the ball still hits the back of the net.
However, when we actually make it to a pickup game, I do much better. But average Joe saying they could block a PK against the world's best women.... LOL.

PKs are damn near impossible for the best professionals to stop and are therefore a terrible gauge for overall performance.

Apparently I'll find out if I'm right or wrong about my assumption next week. I've been invited by a coworker to try out my skills against his daughters team, who supposedly has some D1 level talent.

I hope my mouth didn't overload my arse on this one, lol

I absolutely agree. That's why I mentioned that it went much better in goal just during standard gameplay. Someone earlier had mentioned stopping 7 out of 10 PKs as being no problem.
