We talk about it so much but we really do believe in fostering an environment where goalkeepers have the courage to take risks, explore, & make mistakes. Why? Because when GKs feel free to try new things without fear of failure, true growth happens! They learn together, support each other, and most importantly, they have FUN! This is what we love when the guys train together. Everyone is on the same page and they all do things with intent! They support and encourage each other to try things. They’ll discuss things together. We’re so proud to see it. Here’s a few reasons why we want to see Mistakes / Goals / Consequences in our sessions: 1. Goals: GKs need to face shots that are really trying to beat them or expose any little mistakes in positioning / execution. You can’t save everything! 2. Consequences: although we want GKs to try things, there has to be a consequence to create a little extra pressure but also to give you feedback to whether you have made the best decision 3. Mistakes: If you want to know how to deal with mistakes in games, you need to be given the opportunity to do so in training. 4. Make mistakes during match like / situational training to reduce the chances of them from happening in matches. Accept that they will happen and each is an opportunity to learn.
Found more GoPro clips of Lee’s games from 2016😍 Should we post individual clips or create a little compilation? Ps The ball was there to be won mind… he was just about 5 seconds too late 😂 #themoderndaygk #gk #goalkeepers #gktraining #football #saves
The Original GoPro Goalkeeper… 🧤 Just kidding, this is from 2016 whilst Lee was at QOSFC and they had a go pro behind the goal to show the action. Wish we could have had access to full games as it’s a great way to see goalkeepers play. The free-kick is a great one for others to learn from. Lee wasn’t happy with himself looking back at this 😅 ⚠️ Don’t move early. Lovely timing on the save though to get away with it 😅 Will see if there’s any other footage from that season we can share. #themoderndaygk #gk #goalkeepers #gksaves #saves
Add Live Defenders to Create New Problems 🧤 👤 Where they choose to ‘Defend’ = Affects what options are available = GK anticipation #themoderndaygk #gk #goalkeepers #gktraining
Stay on your feet if you can 🧤 Make it look easy and they’ll think you’re unbeatable 😎 Especially if you’re a smaller gk, you don’t want it to look like every save is a difficult one and you’re at your maximum. #themoderndaygk #gk #goalkeepers #gktraining #football
