Ben Foster's YouTube alter ego 'The Cycling GK' helps him not take soccer too seriously

When Gustavo Hamer's 30-yard header looped over Ben Foster's head, the Watford goalkeeper's first thought was "Oh s---, s---, here we go..." Then came the self-loathing, analysis, acceptance and refocus. "Even as I'm diving for it, I can still remember thinking 'I should be saving this' and I just didn't, for whatever reason, get enough contact on the ball, whatever it was, it was a technical error," Foster told ESPN. "As soon as it happened, I thought oh, no, no, no."

The process took 30 seconds, and all of it was captured by the GoPro camera that Foster had placed in the back of his goal before kickoff.
