neil cutler

Aston Villa first team goalkeeper coach and one of the most sought after coaches in the Uk, working on a daily basis with internationals like Tom Heaton. 

A Championship play off winner, who has transitioned into coaching from an impressive playing career, in doing so has earned the praise and recognition from his fellow colleagues in the profession. Neil shot to ‘fame’ with the #Gkunion, with his excellent videos with the Walsall goalkeepers, which undoubtedly motivated others to become coaches themselves.

part 2- REACTION SAVES & SHOTS THROUGH BODIES

Following on from his fantastic debut on the GkNexus platform, we share Part 2 of our day with Aston Villa goalkeeper coach, Neil Cutler. This session is designed to improve the goalkeepers ability to save shots from in and around the box, with limited vision.
Neil puts the goalkeepers through various exercises that tests their reaction speeds from close distance service, challenges their decision making process on HOW to save the ball depending on the situation and challenges them to remain calm and focused within areas that there are many distractions. An incredible session, by an incredible coach.
