When planning with your head coach the intended outcomes for the squad session, it’s important that we design a session to prepare our goalkeeper to be successful as they progress from isolation practice with the goalkeeper coach, into the full squad training.

In this session Eric Steele showcases a session he uses to prepare the goalkeeper for a full squad session, designed around deliveries from wide areas. Within this functional practice, Eric focuses on brave positioning when facing crosses, as well as the technique on catching or punching.

Part 2 of this session, the integration with the outfield, will go ‘live’ on May 12th.
