Goalkeeper coaches who teach one thing and some the other.
Goalkeeper TrainingDiamond vs W?. Which catching grip is better? I know goalkeeper coaches who still teach the very outdated “Diamond” catch while most if not close to all goalkeeper coaches the “W” catch. Which do you use or recommend?

As a goalkeeper, do your teammates blame you when you’re scored on?
Goalkeeper TrainingI remember being criticized all the time, laughed upon when I made a mistake, mostly as a child when I was playing in the UK.

How to communicate with goalkeepers and their parents
Goalkeepers, Youth SoccerIn my role as a goalkeeper coach, I need to communicate effectively with a lot of different people: your players, mom’s dad’s, grandparents, other coaches, technical directors and often even the ref’s, the officials. All of them have different agendas and need communicating with in totally different ways. The Goalkeepers Communication with your Goalkeepers goes far beyond simply giving them…
The good things about being an independent Goalkeeper Coach
Goalkeeper AcademyI have tried it both ways, by being an independent goalkeeper coach and being part of an organization such as just-for-keepers. And to be honest, if you know what you’re doing you need to have your own identity and remain your own boss. I worked side by side with just-for-keepers for nearly a year. It has some good goalkeeper gloves…
