muscle memory is good word u used in the video. You do something correctly 100 times, your body will naturally remember how to do it correctly without you even thinking about it. After that it will become a reflex action. I'm 22 years old and been a goalkeeper for 4 year constant period. Still lots of room for improvement.
hey thanks for these videos! i'm pretty new at goalkeeping, (started playing soccer at 15 and goalkeeping at 16 years old) and I' still hoping to be able to maximize my skills, but i hadn't been able to practice with anyone, I will start using these trainign videos every week, thanks!! -J.L.C. p.s. kinndof late on a response to vran123, Jorge Campos, legendary Mexican goalkeeper (inspired me to become one ha) was barely around 1, 67 high! and is considered one of the world's best!
yes, we do that as well because it is also good for the eyes. The eyes are a muscle just like your legs are and it helps to strengthen the ocular muscles as well as the reflexes.
it's not necessary to be very tall to be a very good goalkeeper, BUT...you must MASTER all of those elements that bigger goalkeepers have an easier time with...crosses, corner kicks..those kinds of things. One of the things we suggest you do is plyometric work that we show on episodes 1 & 2 of the individual training. Do these 3-4 times a week and you will see a big difference in your ability to leap and jump.
it will depend on close the player is to you. If there is enough space, you can use the forward dive technique, but don't take the dive straight into the path of the oncoming player. Instead, use the technique, but take the forward dive at an angle either to the left or the right of the path of the player that is charging in. If you don't have the time and space for that, I would suggest using the technique that is shown on our "Elite training video" about 2/3 of the way through the video.
an excellant question and something that so many goalkeepers don't think about. No fatty foods, no fried foods, cut out foods that are high in sugar content. Lots of fruit, vegetables, fish, chicken and lots of carbs like pasta but choose lighter red sauces as opposed to heavy cream sauces. 90% of your fluid intake should be water...NO SODA, EVER. cottage cheese and tuna fish is good...NO JUNK FOOD or FAST FOOD, EVER. Try your best to limit sweets like cookies, pies and cakes as well.
sounds great. wish you all the best in the future. Just make sure to make everyday count and work as hard as you can, like your future and your life depend on it.
yes...we were actually going to make one on punting and drop kicks today, but....it is snowing outside. Hopefully on wednesday or friday we can make that video.
Would you recommend to put your goalkeeper gloves on while doing this drills? Or is it fine with none or just some regular gloves? And if you have to put your goalkeeper gloves on will you recommend to use the same kind of gloves all time or doesn't it really matter what goalkeeper gloves you use? Thanks.
I have an old pair of my sisters gloves, they are trashed. The spines are still good, but there's holes in the fingers. Should I use these for this drill, or no gloves at all?
This is the best online that I have seen yet. Your techniques are very good and simple to do. Thank soo much Coach.

it's very important to do this if you want your body to perform at the highest levels.
@minischmeichel
i would suggest that you use your goalkeeping gloves while doing these drills.
now, it's probably low-mid 20 inches. Back when I was playing it was around 36 inches or so, but that was almost 10 years ago.
Thank you very much for your lesson video..really appreciate.
yes...we were actually going to make one on punting and drop kicks today, but....it is snowing outside. Hopefully on wednesday or friday we can make that video.
great tips, really helped with my game. 1 question. What would be important in a goalkeepers diet ? Thanks
all the best.
4:50 now that is realist of the real training. Use this all the time and it does make a difference.
Are you planning to make more videos and upload them on UA-cam?

merci beaucoup.
Thank you mine is an embarassing 12 inches, but since I'm 5-11 I can reach 8 feet with my hands in the air on my jumps
just keep doing the plyometric work 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes a session and that 12 inches will grow steadily towards the 20 inches mark.
I have an old pair of my sisters gloves, they are trashed. The spines are still good, but there's holes in the fingers. Should I use these for this drill, or no gloves at all?
very good video :D
thanks for thees vids :D
no, that's just the camera angle...the field is flat in reality.
Thank You
@stlouisgoalkeeping Does it have to be the same gloves every time?
@minischmeichel
no, not at all.

What's your vertical leap?
