Lacrosse Goalie

What makes a good lacrosse goalie?
I have to list three strengths and three weaknesses that I encounter when I play lacrosse. It’s so hard to evaluate myself, so I was hoping I could get some suggestions about what makes a good/bad goalie. I was thinking, stepping to the ball, focus, clearing far, etc.
By the way, I’m not looking for lame answers from lame people. The first answer leads by example. Thanks!
Keeping your eye on the ball is important. A lot of girls watch the shooters eyes and not the ball. You want to have your weight centered and not too far back or forward. Clearing far isn’t necessarily as important as a sharp accurate clear. positioning in the goal is also very important. Ikknow this sounds dumb but just being confident does a lot of good. I hope this helps and good luck.
