technique pre-season review

After a lengthy lay off, due to COVID-19, we once again team up with Eric Steele and Burton Albion academy, to deliver some unique GkNexus practical training ground content.

With these foundation phase goalkeepers not having enjoyed a goalkeeping session for over 5 months, Eric designed a session to introduce them back into football and the basics of goalkeeping.

The goalkeepers enjoyed a session that was intended to not only improve their physical techniques, but their social interactions too.
