phil wheddon
First team goalkeeper coach at Philadelphia Union in the MLS. Ex USA National Men & Women’s Gk Coach, with Gk Coaching experience at FIFA World Cup’s and the Olympics. We know, pretty impressive, right? Phil is also the Director of the International Goalkeeper Coaches Conference.
Having worked with Goalkeepers such as Tim Howard, Kasey Keller & Hope Solo, we simply could have no one better to look after our GkNexus USA fleet.

simplicity in training
Phil has designed and delivered an excellent session which focuses on handling and distribution. Using limited equipment, a situation which we all find ourselves in from time to time, Phil used the 18 yard box and some creative progressions to his exercises, to carry out an enjoyable session with two goalkeepers.
Phil goes into great detail with how you can adapt and progress this session for use with a large group of goalkeepers or with live outfield players.
