Assalamu alaykum,

Allah swt does listen to and respond to every supplication we make to Him, yes. However when it comes to certain things which have been written for us already such as our skin colour, what family we are born into, our gender ect then there is not really much benefit for us in changing that if Allah swt has prescribed that to us for a reason. He will only do what is best for both our religion and our worldly life.

I would also like to say that even if you were to remain at this height, it doesn't mean you cannot be a goalkeeper. I understand that the standard for that industry is a lot taller, but with enough will and determination nothing can stand in your way. There have been many professional goalkeepers shorter than that, as long as you train well, it shouldn't be an impediment. Take a look at this: http://howtheyplay.com/team-sports/T...al-Goalkeepers

That said, you're only 18, and males can continue to grow until they're 21 and even 25. Height is largely inherited, but with the right diet and exercise you could reach your maximum potential.

Allah swt knows best.
