*** A long truth post that needs to be addressed***

Dear GK,

Find a coach to teach you. Don’t find a trainer.

Yes. There is a difference, a big difference.

SCSG will no longer accept gks that want to do “training for the weekend” and come back every 4-5 weeks.

We are a true teaching academy that works on weekly topics so the GK can begin to develop and receive the tools to help them in their development.

-If you are looking to “get in shape” I can refer you to 25 other trainers that will do this for you.
-If you are looking to get “shots on you” I can refer you to 25 other trainers that will do this for you.
-If you are looking for someone that will have you save 4-5 shots in a row to make a save without teaching WHY you need to hold that ball, WHY you need to dive and not kick that ball, and WHY you need to move your feet to get to that ball, I can refer you to 25 other trainers that will do this for you.

* If you are looking to get better as a gk in all aspects of the game I can help you or refer you to 3-4 other trainers that can also do this for you.

* If you are looking to get better at claiming a cross and how each situation will be different in your positioning and approach of the game, I can help you or refer you to 3-4 other trainers that can also do this for you.

* If you are looking to get better at dealing with 1v1s/breakaways and how each situation will be different in your positioning and approach of the game, I can help you or refer you to 3-4 other trainers that can also do this for you.

* If you are looking to get better at receiving & passing a back pass technically. And understanding the tactical process of how to find the correct options and decision making, I can help you or refer you to 3-4 other trainers that can also do this for you.

The latter are topics that will take time and effort on your part and must be taught by a GK coach. The cliché of “it’s a process” has never been more true.

This process goes through several phases of teaching and IT DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ONE WEEKEND OR FROM A PERSON SHOOTING 35 SHOTS ON YOU.

So, I will reiterate. Do not come to us. We can not help you. We know you will go to 2-3 other trainers in the month that will put a barrier on what we are trying to accomplish for you.

Trust it or leave it. But don’t worry, you wont need to make that decision. We will make it for you.

This position needs to be taught. Training is what we do to maintain those lessons. This is done once there is a sense of “mastery” on the topic. Then we begin to look into small details and the subtopics to get you to an even higher level.

We always have a plan and a purpose. Find those 3-4 coaches that can do this for you. And stop the madness of “training” just to train.

Jeff

Rest in Paradise Katie.

If you can donate or share... please do so. We are a tight union for a reason.

We lost one of our own, today. It's always too early to lose someone but this one is hits hard and close to home.

My only wish is for those that read this will say hi to someone tomorrow, smile at someone, hold a door open. Let someone know they are important, we all need to hear it once in awhile.

Rest in Paradise Katie 🙏🕊🙏🧤🧤

Please share or donate as we need to come to the support of a family, a friend, a union.
