I made this channel at the start of this week. I have around 10 videos (i think) and i would appreciate if you could check out my channel and see if there is something i can improve :)
 
Alright, I like to be harsh in my reviews so be prepared

First off, you need to edit your front page. When viewers go to your page, they see nothing. Like, absolutely no videos. This makes them think you have no videos so then they will leave. Edit it so you have videos pop up there. I have "Latest Uploads" "Popular Uploads" and "Playlists." I would also strongly recommend making a channel video so that when people first come to your channel a trailer will automatically play that shows what you're all about so they'll know if that's what they're looking for. Do this otherwise you'll turn a lot of potential viewers and/or subscribers away just because they won't know if a) you have any videos or b) what you're all about. Make your trailer 30seconds to a minute long max.

Your channel description is short. There's a lot more you can add in there. Say who your favorite goal keepers are. Let me, as the viewer, know who you're interested in. If I'm interested in the same person, I have more of a chance to sub. What's your upload schedule? Do you do things every Monday? Every Wednesday? Right now you look sporadic and viewers want consistency. They want schedules. They like organization. Make a schedule and stick to it.

Make playlists. I don't know what about, but at least make one saying something like "Top Goalie Compilation Videos." I do games so my playlists are just my game titles, I don't know what you would do for goalie videos, but I'm sure you can figure something out.

Maybe something you can do is expand your video range is you could do "Player of the week" or "Player of the Month." Something to change it up a little bit, expand your audience since you're so niche right now.

Your thumbnails. None of them stick out to me. Get a program like GIMP, learn it, and make interesting thumbnails on it. It's fine to take a still-frame of a video and use it as a thumbnail, but add something more to it. It'll draw viewers in. I've read that Thumbnails (with the exceptions of game thumbnails like mine) to not use words. So try to figure out how to make something interesting without words.

Onto your videos (I only watched one just so you know) I liked the music a lot. It kept me engaged and the video itself was interesting. If I wanted to watch a channel all about goal keeping, I would sub to you based off the video I watched. Or at least check out your other videos. The video clipping is good, I'm assuming your just starting so you'll get better and better and actually making videos so don't stress too much on that front.

Now, to the bad side of what I saw in your video. It has nothing specific to do with the video so that's good news. Your description allows for 5000 characters. Use them. Add a whole bio to whatever player your doing or something. Longer descriptions never hurt anyone and, if you don't want to write the full bio yourself, you can go grab one off Wiki or something.

I'm not on my computer (I'm on my buddies laptop) so I don't have VidIQ or TubeBuddy to look at your tags so I can't help you out on that front. But make sure you look over them. Do they look good? Are they things people would search? Did you use all 500 tags available?

There you go, that's all I can help you out with. Hope it helps and good luck!

This is much better! I come to your channel and see that trailer and I'm engaged. It's not too long either. And, I'm an absolute sucker for that song you used. I get chills whenever I hear it, no matter the situation. It's good to see you added those videos to your front page so I now I know you have more than nothing and more than just your channel trailer. Your playlists are great too. You divided them up exactly how I would want to see them so kudos on doing that.

Your description is still short, but it's much better than what was there before. I'm more engaged by it and I would have more of a chance of subbing compared to what you used to have.

Overall, good job on the edits and keep it up man. As you go along you'll learn more and more and you'll figure out more things on your own. Good luck with the channel, I wish you the absolute best.
