This man should be in the running to coach the Azzurri.

Communication.

Early scanning + early information fed to your defense prevents chaos.

If keeper sees the overload first and says nothing, the missed opportunity to prevent starts there - not at the shot.

This is what coaches look for from their GK.

Kicking off something new I’ve been building.

The USA Crossbar Challenge:
3 shots.
Crossbar only.
Then you pass it forward to 3 others.

This is an early version from the field — the idea is simple:
get players and coaches competing a little, having fun, and giving back.

More refinement coming, but wanted to get it moving.

Follow to see it grow.

Goalkeepers don’t grow from reps alone.
Performance analysis builds GK IQ.

This is where tools like and change how young goalkeepers learn.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what the 2026 World Cup represents for soccer in the U.S.

Not the matches or the venues — but legacy. I realized how little conversation there’s been around access for the people who teach the game every week.

I thjnk this is a question worth sitting with.

Every goalkeeper needs feedback.
Technique builds the base.
Tactical coaching shapes the game.
Performance Analysis accelerates development— fast.

If your GK is:
• unsure when to come off their line
• reacting late
• misjudging long balls
• hesitant to communicate…

…it’s not a lack of talent.
It’s a lack of performance feedback.

Goalkeeping is 70% cognitive, but most youth GK training is still just reps, cones, and shot-stopping.

When young keepers see themselves on film:
🧠 Decision patterns sharpen
📈 Positioning becomes intentional
🎯 Confidence skyrockets
📣 Communication improves naturally

If they have match footage, I can analyze it.
Veo, Hudl, Pixellot — whatever they have.

Modern goalkeepers don’t just train — they review, analyze, and elevate their game through clarity, repetition, and tactical understanding. Many amongst our next generation of young goalkeepers lack accurate and relevant goalkeeper-specific feedback.
