Episode 290

It's been great working with young Dan as we tone his arsenal of skills.

A simple agility session looking at his ability to see the ball early and react, not only with his foot work to gain ground before the dove but also challenging to make the catch.

Keeping the expectations high is an important standard in our sessions and on the path to becoming a better goalkeeper.

Episode 289

Another fantastic opportunity to work with goalkeeper and highly rated Gk

​Footwork and Repositioning: Goalkeepers work on precise movement patterns to adjust their body positioning quickly before making a save.

​Head Turn and Attack the Ball: This emphasises tracking the ball's flight path with the eyes and aggressively moving toward it to reduce the reaction time needed for the save.
​Hand Positioning: A focus on maintaining the correct hand shape and orientation to ensure secure catches regardless of the shot's trajectory.
​Agility, Speed, and Intensity: The drills are designed to build explosive power and maintain high performance levels even as fatigue sets in.

Episode 288

We have all tried the turn and react drill and it's a vital session idea for gaining vital thinking time by turning into the goal and setting rather than trying to gain ground and lose reaction time.

Footwork starts the session with a front post placement before turning into the goal and seeing the ball at your earliest opportunity.
Hand position is vital to set and take the catch.

The drill is adapted to suit a second ball if you are in small groups or for a 1:1 like this.

The second ball incorporates a low dive for the goalkeeper to react too. In Groups an angled strike works really well here.

Episode 287

A little drill to work on your goalkeepers movement into a high take.
Keys focus on foot movement and their body position so they remain facing play.

Smaller stepping and explosive into the push is key with decision making for the punch or the catch.

As always try it and see what you think? Let me know how you get on and whether you adapted to suit another need.

Episode 286

This technical session Slows for hand eye coordination while targeting the goalkeepers ability to react after seeing the ball late and create an alternative save while on the ground.

Using tennis balls for their smaller size allows for an increase in concentration to make the catch.
Making the foot save from a position while lying on the ground recreates a situation where the goalkeeper has already made the initial save and must react to keep the ball out.

Episode 285

With pre season in full swing why not try this stamina based drill that utilises the goalkeepers lateral footwork while improving core strength for those up and downs.

With handling an essential outcome so too is the necessity to keep the intensity high while working hard in this endurance exercise.

Episode 284

A little drill that's focuses on your goalkeepers ability to reposition, get their body behind the ball and effectively cushion pass a ball before repeating the process.

A quick passing session that helps the goalkeeper with the weight of a pass while keeping it under control.

Lots of lateral foot work which benefits the goalkeepers movement speeds.
