Thanks for posting this vid! It helped me a lot in my football tournament and you make me want to be a goalkeeper more than I want to even BREATHE! Anyway keep on doin what your doing. Safe hands 🧤
hey mate! after two years and i'm back at this video and i just realized that you are in football manager which i signed you for my club, eastleigh and currently on way up to league one! well done mate you hit 50k i will watch your career with honour
Really helpful for me next season as I am weaker in this area of goalkeeping so I am taking the last few weeks of pre season to work on it and these videos are really useful so Thank-you
In a pre-season tournament, I ended up pulling a muscle in my thigh, making it hurt every time I punted the ball. Because of this, I had to throw for the rest or the tournament, which as you can imagine, made me throw my elbow out. Because this was an away tournament, I was the only goalkeeper there for my team, which meant hurt or not, my team had a better chance with me on the field. It was an awkward situation, but you are right about being prepared for anything that may happen. Really wish I would have worked on punting with my left foot.
Definitely, it's a tough one, but working on your weak foot can definitely help in those situations. Well done for fighting through it though, your team would've been grateful for it!
if you want to decrease the chance of slicing the ball on a side volley, give the ball some backspin when tossing it up, very minute change but makes you look a lot better
I think you need to be doing this with a moving ball,eg a backpass from a defender,while being pressured by an attacker to keep it realistic. The kicking part of course is what I am referring to.
What under layer is that? Great video. I've had a 15+ year hiatus playing in goal, so not played since school (34 now) . Now playing for a charity for bereaved males.
@@ConorOKeefe thanks Conor. It looked like a protective type one, hence why I asked. Thanks bud. Really impressed with the videos I've watched of yours, keep it up!
One of the things I want to do as a goalkeeper is be able to kick a ball 50m from a goal kick and a side volley. I think I’m maxing out at about 35-40 meters so I’ve got a ways to go 😅
Any further videos on this? I’ve improved slightly from using your techniques but not consistently passing half way line for goal kicks. Any help would be much appreciated thanks
So I’ve been a keeper for around 5 years, I used to play LM/LW and occasionally striker so striking technique isn’t an issue for me, but I was just wondering if the fact you do half volley kicks opposed to full volley kicks is a personal preference thing or something that might genuinely help performance?
For me, half volleys travel greater distance than full volleys, and they are easier for the striker to deal with. Full volleys get a lot of height, so its hard for the striker to flick on the ball or hold it up, and the CB can win it more easily. The lower trajectory of the half-volley makes it a bit easier for them to deal with.
Nice video! I was wondering if you could do a video on having the right mindset before/during a game, since lacking confidence can affect your performance?
Yes! I'll definitely do a video on that, mentality has been a huge element of my game that I've focused on during the last few seasons, so it would be great to do a video on that.
Hi mate, thank you!! I wear Kaliaaer gloves and they're amazing. The link to their website is in the description of my most recent videos, and you can use the discount code OKEEFE to save money on them!
Attila Dósa there are a few ways to improve distance: 1) practice your technique, striking the ball cleanly with your laces 2) improve your leg power & strength in the gym, but only if you’re old enough to do so (I would say 16 & older) 3) lean back slightly when connecting with the ball to take it higher Hope that helps!
Hi there great video! I would like some advice, out my hands I have a great technique and great accuracy and can easily kick a match ball to the other keeper. I’m only 6”0 and very lean and most of my technique helps me kick that far out my hands. But on the floor I really struggle. With a training ball I can easily hit half way or just beyond that from a goal kick as the ball is light but with a match ball I seen to struggle when I use the same technique and therefore I don’t get anywhere near the same height and I just about make the half way line.
Hi Tom, it'll maybe be improved most by practice. Get used to using match balls, and practice your technique with them. Also, training in the gym to improve your strength and power can help.
Hi Angelo, like I say in the video, it's another club in the bag. The trajectory of the ball is different, so depending on the picture infront of you regarding defenders and attackers, it may enable you to get the ball to the target quicker, for example. Perfecting different distribution methods can only benefit your game
Conor O'Keefe Thanks, also do you think different types of balls like match balls make the ball travel less and have a flatter trajectory? I find different types of balls are worse for me to kick, specifically match balls.
Angelo Luca match balls are sometimes a bit heavier, so you may need to practice a bit more with them in order to make sure you have the technique sorted!
Hi Laurence, thanks for the comment. It's a tough one, because against a strong wind, the higher the ball goes, the more it will hold up in the wind. So you want to drive the ball low and into the wind. That's harder out of your hands, so I normally put it on the floor if i'm kicking against the wind.
you mentioned you go for the lower driven method when hitting the goal kick... is the motion, driving low mid centre, but shortening your follow through... a bit like a low driven ping for outfielders?
brewer brewer thank you mate! Very kind of you! No, right is my favoured foot, but still working to make it both!! Thank you my friend, hope you’re enjoying the content!

Correct
Well 40k hmmm
he’s close! 47.2k currently
These techniques are pure gold! There is not enough emphasis on proper distribution. A well-placed pass on the counter can be an assist!
Exactly!

Christian Toleno thank you! don’t worry about distance! Practice the techniques in this video, and the distance will come!
Conor O'Keefe Thank you so much. Distribution is a very important aspect that I will need to make it to the next level!
Thank you for making the left foot and left hand
No problem! It's important to practice both sides!

Doesn't really work for me, but seen some keepers use that very well!
Your way of kicking reminds a lot of Ter Stegen's. So clean and precise
What a compliment that is! Thank you! I'm a huge fan of MATS
You have a good service in addition good technique
Thank you!
I like how u say focus on technique over power. Love ur Chanel

How could I make my kick offs and distributions longer?Thanks for your answer in advance!

2) improve your leg power & strength in the gym, but only if you’re old enough to do so (I would say 16 & older)
3) lean back slightly when connecting with the ball to take it higher

Nvm bro my bad hadn't seen the part were you did the side volley. Did great 👏⚽️
Thanks Daniel
How did you improve your left foot to make it as accurate as your right? I never use my left but I need to improve.
Practice! Over and over again, that's the only way to improve it!
wow that's awesome

Hey Conor, what's the point in mastering the side volley if you can half volley with the same accuracy?
Hi Angelo, like I say in the video, it's another club in the bag. The trajectory of the ball is different, so depending on the picture infront of you regarding defenders and attackers, it may enable you to get the ball to the target quicker, for example. Perfecting different distribution methods can only benefit your game

Angelo Luca match balls are sometimes a bit heavier, so you may need to practice a bit more with them in order to make sure you have the technique sorted!
If you're playing on a boggy pitch against a strong wind, what technique do you use to kick the ball out of your hands?
Hi Laurence, thanks for the comment. It's a tough one, because against a strong wind, the higher the ball goes, the more it will hold up in the wind. So you want to drive the ball low and into the wind. That's harder out of your hands, so I normally put it on the floor if i'm kicking against the wind.
Conor O'Keefe Thanks for the reply Conor. Would love to see a video about how you communicate with /organise your defense.
I want to work on my Goal kick and side volley
I've got a few videos that can help! Side Volley Tutorial & Goalkick Tutorial!
you mentioned you go for the lower driven method when hitting the goal kick... is the motion, driving low mid centre, but shortening your follow through... a bit like a low driven ping for outfielders?
Yes, very similar!
Find you someone that looks at you the way Conor looks at Pete's touch
hahaha what a touch!
On the half volleys, does the ball have to hit the ground first or can you just kick it
Cody L for it to be a half volley, you hit the ball as it bounces. Otherwise, it’s a normal volley
Conor O'Keefe thanks man
28k viewers congrats
Thanks James!
Do you use that goal kick technique for longer kicks too?
Depends on what's needed in the game really! But yes,I can do sometimes
@@ConorOKeefe Thanks for the answer👍
Good mannn❤️
João Paulo Oliveira thanks mate!
You look stronger with ur left foot on side volleys
yesss good vid
HarryBear Gaming thanks mate!
When do goalkeepers use half volleys?
Can give you a longer distribution method than a side volley
You are very two footed; i can't see what your strong foot is. Left? Kudos btw. Greetings from a left footed but right handed dutch chap
brewer brewer thank you mate! Very kind of you! No, right is my favoured foot, but still working to make it both!! Thank you my friend, hope you’re enjoying the content!
Is it better to cut across or just punch straight through the ball?
Both will do different things, so practice both and see what works best in different situations
This is good
Thanks!
@@ConorOKeefeI wish I could be a coach like you because you are good
when his left side volleys are better than his right 😱🤯
Got to work on both!!
Ahhhh I need to fix up distribution sooooooo much
Keep practicing Jacob! You'll get there!
I love yr glovessss nice buddy

Yes excellent tutorial. Can punting be used instead of the half volley. In regards to distance.
mervan Johnson thank you Mervan! Yes, it can, but the trajectory is much more up & down, so it can be harder for the striker to control/flick on
