@@ConorOKeefe I turned 40 last month, i almost never strech and almost allways got something injured. thanks to your easy tips my health got improved. 30 years of playing matches i wanted to quit. thank you
Ive been doing this stretching routine every gk session, team session, gym session and a bit shorter version every morning. Never felt better. Thanks for this superb tutorial on stretch! Keep up the briliant work
Thank you so much for these stretches. Being a tall goalkeeper, I need all the stretching I can get and this stretching routine helped to open up my hips. Thanks!
I only started using your routine a week ago and I have improved over the week still not where I want to be but I do this everyday just like you and I am improving a lot, thanks con!
Some of exercises you made i make always before session/match. But first i ripple my body with short runs to avoid injury like pulled muscle. I saw that you put emphasis main legs training than hands. My exercisers are simpler but this Sunday i will try yours , it s last match this season and maybe with bit of luck clean sheet. And about hedera gloves they bring me lots of confidence and I recommend them :)
Let me know how it goes Kristian, and if the stretches help! Good luck for Sunday, I’m sure you will play well. Brilliant, I’m glad you like the gloves! Tell your friends to get them, and to use the discount code!
Thank you mate - really glad that you've found it helpful. I have a few updated follow along stretching videos from more recently if they would be better!
Always do a bit of a stretch & a short warm up before training....it is so important & as a result it does help prevent injury & too much aching & any strains after a session....having watched this I need to add more to it & push what I do a little more & build on it over time....Nice one Conor.
From Australia 🇦🇺 I’ve been using these stretches everyday for the past month and I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my flexibility and general goalkeeping. Thanks a lot for the tips
@@messi11121 I don’t currently play soccer atm but I still use some of these stretches often before general exercising. The stretching has been helpful and beneficial and keeps moreless prone to injuries. 👍🏼
Omg the best 💯💯💯💯 .. I did the night before my game and a few minutes before my match ...i was flying in that goals .....i love this video really ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯
Incredible video. Thank you very much! Gonna use and try this stretching routine out as I was searching for a strict routine pre-match instead of doing random stretching exercises. Again, thank you!👍🏼
Wow bro its been 2 matches i do your warm ups and stretches and now im kinda popular in my school for being a good goalie😂 im tall and when i dont warm up i cant really do anything but thanks to you it really helped me everyone in the other class i played for was asking me to join their class for the school tournament even tho they have 2 really good goalkeepers at the end i really appreciate you thanks ❤️
This is very late comment but i have tried all the stretchings u have done and honestly I've noticed that i have performed waaay better than i used to. Thanks for the tips
Really keen to give this a go before Saturday. Been struggling with very tight quads/glutes this season. I gave your quad stretch a go, and my shoulder cracked just from reaching behind me (a good sign re: getting flexible with this routine!). The quad stretch was unreal, a lot better than what I'd been doing too. Thanks so much for this Conor! :)
It’s rally help, I feel a lot more flexible.Before I was very rigid now I can almost do the splits which is a milestone for Me I incorporate the into a game and I feel a lot more warmed up. Thank you. I need to practice diving but I don’t have a garden any drills or ideas I could do??
I'm going to do this until I can do the splits and I'll keep you updated. Amount of days I streched: 21 day 5 : I have noticed slight improvement and can touch my toes now. Day 11 : After doing the session I can easily/comfortably touch the ground.
Hey Connor, first thanks for all the content you have created so far - amazing channel! Quick question on your stretching routine: since these are pre workout stretches, how long do you usually hold each one? 10 sec, 15 sec? Thanks again, keep on rolling - looking forward to the next episodes!
Conor thank you for the video! I just have a little question. My coach tells me that I should AFTER my exercise and it fells right because then I´m warmed up. Did I misunderstand the video but i got the vibe that this is a warm up. So the question is- Does this also work after exercise and should I do it before or after to be flexible long-term. Anyways thank you for the video!! :D
I played after a while without any warm up and now my legs are sore. So should I still go for practice and do your stretching routine before playing or should I just rest and miss practice?
Yes, training will be fine after a good warm up, it's just stiffness having not played for a while. In fact it will help you to feel better. Shows the importance of the warm up!
Hey! Really cool routine and I am going to start and use this. But I have one question. Do you do the exact same routine after training aswell? Do you hold it for longer than 15 seconds? Or do you do a whole different routine?
Hi Conor, brilliant video mate. As someone who isn't very flexible at all, which exercises would you recommend the most for increasing pelvic flexibility? I feel like my pelvis is really tight and restricts my upper hip movement a lot.
Hi Mike, all these stretches should help, but particularly hamstring/groin/hip flexor/quads/lower back stretches. I'd also recommend going to see a chiropractor or osteopath if you can, as often the issue can be something a bit more structural than necessarily muscle tightness!
hey man , I've got a training programme which involves flexibility that I have to create, I use this workout often but I need the names of the stretches if you know any, I cant just link your youtube video unfortunately. if anyone know she majority of the names of the stretches can you let me know please!
@@ConorOKeefe one more question, do you have a strength workout with bench press, squats, deadlift etc. while you are home or do you just use the power workout you made a video about?
@@simonbitsch8299 i have a strength workout video on my channel! It obviously changes when I don’t have access to a gym, but that should help if you are interested!
@@ConorOKeefe ahah, i understand. Awesome video tho, it’s really good to get warm and ready for a session. I did it today and was very pleased. Keep up the good content on the channel man! Much love🤝
Hello, I haven’t tried this yet although it seems so nice and feels great to do it before a game. I’m having a lot of groin pain, especially after the game finishes and I don’t really know what to do. Maybe it’s cause I don’t stretch that often...is it okay if i do this everyday, even in home?
My body is way too stiff to do even half those stretches and I’ve pulled my hamstring way too many times do you think if I keep practicing I will get better because my hamstring hurts like hell
Given that I’m 46 and (trying to) make a come back what other exercises would you recommend to help loosen me up before and to stretch me out after a game
Have a look at my Pre Match Warmup for Goalkeepers video, that should be able to help with things before a game. These stretches will help, before and after. Also a good meal, 9 hrs sleep, lots of water, and foam rolling will help with recovery after a game!
I stopped all the balls except one after using this routine. I swear this magic or sum bc it was my first game as goalie and I’m not that good at blocking balls in practice. Fr this magic or sum
Wow i should really incorporate this into my warm up before a game
Steven Georgiou try it! See what you think. And let me know!

No worries Joseph! Really glad it was helpful mate
Im tall too and helped me vwey much
I’m just like that. The goalkeeper who is always stretching. I feel like i am never warmed up if I haven’t done my stretching Routine.
Sam Kayo exactly 👍🏼
Bro thats always me
Nobody stretches on the team besides me and I stretch alot and I always feel like I always need more
Don‘t stretch to get warmed up. Only dynamic streching
Exactly. My team says I do t need to stretch. Just warm up
When you stretch, your body can dive further therefore saving more goals
Awesome stretching routine, I do it at least 4 times a week. It has also improve my reactions while goalkeeping 👍🏼.
Brilliant! Well done!
bro ı started today too, can u describe little bit, in how many times show effect to u and what did u earn from this stretch. thank u...

Hey! Really cool routine and I am going to start and use this. But I have one question. Do you do the exact same routine after training aswell? Do you hold it for longer than 15 seconds? Or do you do a whole different routine?
I normally do the same routine, but shortened down a bit! 10-20 seconds for each is enough for me!

Thank you!
Hey Connor! I’m maybe a bit late, but what’s the shirt you are wearing? And where can I get it?

Do you do this before, after or before and after your training sessions?
Before and after normally!
What are these gloves?
What are the exercises called
They are just different stretches
if i have a lot sessions 3 sessions in the day one in the gym two training like goalkepper you woukld recommend too do that 3 times
It's up to you! maybe a shortened version before each session
Teach us to do the splits?
Follow the tutorial for a long time and you'll get there!
As always

I stopped all the balls except one after using this routine. I swear this magic or sum bc it was my first game as goalie and I’m not that good at blocking balls in practice. Fr this magic or sum

Before works best for me
