The goalkeeper coach I needed when I was young.

I started playing football at six and found the goalkeeper gloves at eleven. Until I was 21, I learned the position largely through observation, self-study and a persistent desire to improve. I never had the specialised goalkeeper coaching I wished for.

Today, I try to give young goalkeepers the support, language and attention that could have changed my own journey.

For me, the goalkeeper is far more than a shot-stopper. The modern goalkeeper reads the game, organises the team, makes fast decisions and contributes in every phase. My analysis therefore looks beyond the final save or goal and asks what information was available, what decision was made and what can be trained next.
