Choosing your goalkeeper coach is of huge importance,weather you are the parant looking for a goalkeeper coach to teach your son the basics,a parent looking for a coach to give your child an extra few sessions a week outside of there academy training to give them the performance advantage they need or you are infact the goalkeeper looking to work on those game weaknesses that you have been advised to do.

The goalkeeper coach is someone that you as the client mist respect,I feel this is a huge factor as you must respect and trust there opinion as they will be guideing you to your full potential,if there is no trust or respect you will doubt his information or question his advice which will be a huge problem in the training.
The first thing you should do as a potential client is research your coach as he had playing experience at a good level of football,we at Pro-1 goalkeeping academy think this is a vital key point so most experienced coaches can relate to game situations,also being in the knowledge to explain everything is not in black and White and sometimes the keeper will have to accept unathoudox positions and saves to propel there performance.
The coach should be qualified under minuim ueafa badge holders,this shows that the candidate is serious.
The qualifications I feel is important.
The reason for this is I personally feel that the F.A goalkeeping badge is to easily achieved and therefore you have plenty of coaches posing as goalkeeper coaches with little experience .
For example I had to take my F.A qualifications in order to proceed to my ueafa badges,however on my F.A course there wore many applicants who wore severly over weight,couldn’t performe the drills and some had only ever played grass roots level,now I think it’s great these guys are taking part but in all honestly are these guys capable of producing the next great British goalkeeper,in my opinion NO,but to my surprised most of these candidates wore rewarded a pass.
This I feel is the major reason behind England failing in producing goalkeepers.
These young goalkeepers are like a peace of paper,what you write on them stays on them,the countless times we have welcomed new clients into our academy who have received 12 months of gk training elsewhere and we are amazed to what these guys have been taught and normally the parent after the session is gobsmacked on how our sessions are carried out,something there not been used to.

We beleve your goalkeeper coach should be able to not only tell you how to do it but to show you .
He should be able to searve the ball of a good standard,these searves will include,half volleys,volleys,sidewinders floor strike ect.
He should be physically fitter enough to performe high tempo sessions game related sessions and read between the lines of drills as not everything is as what the book says,this is where his playing experience comes into effect.
He should be working with today’s game,,today’s game has changed balls ,ove more in the air,they move faster even players boots have been adapted to make the ball swerve,so a goalkeeper coach who has played the game in modern times is a massive advantage for example 1 old school coach will be telling you to hold the ball,another will be saying don’t take the risk of a secound ball adapt the body shape and parry,,something the goalkeepers on the continent have been doing for years.
Throwing searves,something we stand against,this is to slow and not game like,even when teaching basics we kick searve it adapts the keeper quickly.
If a gk coach is throwing the ball this tends to mean he hasn’t got the ability to strike consistently this will result on the student flapping in game situations when the tempo is fast as they will not be used to the tempo.
So in our opinion research your goalkeeper coach qualifications,playing experience and go and watch some of his sessions,we recommend you don’t just research 1 coach,interveiw 3 or 4 as it’s important you get what’s right.
My advice stay away from 1 man and his car boot with 4 taky balls and like a talk to the parents,stay away from big online companies who take on unqualified coaches in playing experience and coaching badges as they are just a franchise after money.

I know some of the above is my opinion but I am a professional and wanted to share my knowledge with you.

Hope this information helps happy goalkeeping
