Shoutout to these social media goalkeeping legends moderndaygk, progkacademy, ars goalkeeping, conor okeefe, gk goluremi thank you for helping the others and makes us a better keeper with your knowledge im feeling grateful to have you guys around
Love how you see GK training. I can really rely on what you said about the coach pinging perfect balls showing off his technique more than his trying to improve the GKs haha
Great explanations. You're right one hand punches may be costier. I remember once I opted for a one hand cross and just mismatched the height and the ball dropped into the 18 and striker scored. So 2 hands are best akways.
Nice work! More of this guys! I think goalkeeper community likes this kind of insights of the game. Keep up the good work. Brings me awareness as a goalkeeper and as a trainer to go on a higher level. Cheers!
Very helpful. I've found in recent years I've been drawn more to my near post then when the ball goes towards middle / back post I struggle to get across when an oppo player heads it at goal. Basically this video endorsed what I had been thinking that when the ball is wide I need to be stood more central. Not sure if I was done at my near post a time or two and that is why I started protecting near post a lot more, but it definitely doesn't help if a cross is whipped in from wide.
Loved this lads! Always enjoy watching different crossing techniques. The factors that go into crossing are huge and Lee/Pat are examples that you don't have to be a Cortouis size to be good in the box!
Hey there! Lee always looked for gloves that felt light on his hands and had thinner latex to have more feel on the ball. He wore a lot of uhlsport retros, then Adidas ace trans pro, then finishing his career off with Nike mercurial victory touch. We are in the process of creating a new match glove which will hopefully have a good mix of everything we believe a goalkeeper glove should have!
