Keep your eyes up 🧤👀

When you’re working through the footwork part of a drill, it can be easy to start looking down at your feet.

But if your eyes are down, how do you know what’s happening in front of you?

Get into the habit of keeping your head up and your eyes on the ball — move your feet without losing sight of what’s happening.

Attack the ball and make the goal smaller 🧤⚽️

The save might still be made, but can you give yourself an even better chance?

When that ball breaks loose, don’t just wait and react — close the space, get out to the ball and make it as difficult as possible for the attacker to score.

Small decisions can make a massive difference. 👏

Quick feet, calm hands 🧤⚽️

We want the movement to be sharp — get off the post, turn, get yourself set and into position quickly.

But once the ball comes, don’t rush the catch. Slow yourself down, watch the ball in and enjoy the catch.

Move quickly. Catch calmly.

Keeper Winner Stays On 🧤👀

Coach Dan’s in the hot seat. Goalkeepers— winner stays on until there’s only one left.

Some easy ones… and a few that might cause some arguments.

Who would’ve won yours? 👇

Weekend’s nearly here 🧤⚽️

Games coming up, so the work during the week matters. Good intensity, high tempo and plenty of saves in the legs.

How’s your training been this week? Are you ready for the weekend? 👊

Don’t move so quickly that you lose your balance 🧤

Quick feet are important, but you’ve still got to arrive in a position where you’re balanced, set and ready to make the save.

Here, the feet start to cross and we end up rushing the movement. Slow it down enough to stay in control, face the ball and get yourself set.

Quick feet. Good balance. Ready to react.

21/09/2026

Good work and good tempo 🧤⚽️

Really pleased with the intensity in this set. Working at a good pace, moving well and still keeping the quality in the saves.

That’s exactly what we want to see — high tempo without losing your technique. 👏

Make the angle smaller 🧤

If you stay too deep in your goal, you’re making the striker’s decision easy. They can look up, see a huge part of the goal and pick their finish.

Get yourself out, close that space and make the goal look as small as possible.

The less goal they can see, the harder you make their job.

15/09/2026

Don’t guess. Read what’s in front of you. 🧤

As a goalkeeper, you’ve got to take in the information you’re being given.

The coach has the ball in his hands — what’s the most likely thing coming next? A volley.

Watch what’s happening, read the situation and then react. Don’t make the decision before you need to.

See it. Read it. Then react.
