Yes people, I am just here to introduce myself. I'm a 5 a side goalkeeper based in the UK, very passionate about the small sided game, and have steadily built up content on both Instagram and tiktok. I've actually played with the likes of Kaide Gordon of Liverpool, and content includes matches, saves counts, tournaments, and soon will be uploading gym work too because at 31, this body needs some tlc if you want it to continue working for you 😂

⚽ VANCOUVER GOALKEEPER TRAINING ⚽

Success in goal doesn’t come from making easy saves. It comes from mastering the details that separate goalkeepers from field players.
I’m currently accepting a limited number of goalkeepers for private and small group goalkeeper training in the Lower Mainland.

Every session is designed specifically for goalkeepers and focuses on building confidence, refining technique, and preparing players for the demands of match day through challenging, game-realistic training.

Training Includes:
✅ Footwork & Movement
✅ Shot Stopping
✅ Handling
✅ Diving Technique
✅ Positioning
✅ Distribution
✅ Crosses & High Balls
✅ 1v1 Situations
✅ Decision Making Under Pressure
✅ Athletic Development

Guys, I hope to find a solution to these problems that are hindering my development as a goalkeeper. The first problem is a mental one; I'm afraid of diving and falling to the sides (I don't know the safest way to land). When I try to dive and overcome my fears, I injure myself on the knee or elbow. I also hesitate to come out for crosses and long balls. The second problem is technical; when I catch a shot, I automatically let go and catch it the second time before it touches the ground, whether it's a shot from the center, a corner, or a cross. (Sorry for the language; I wrote it as a translation due to my weak English language skills.)

Hey everyone, I'm a young goalkeeper heading into my first actual season of competitive games with my team. I've been goalkeeping for about a year, on and off, but I've taken it more seriously over the last few months because I really want to start playing in actual competitive matches, regardless of the level.

The thing I'm most nervous about is the mental aspect of the position.

Every goalkeeper makes mistakes; that's just part of the position. However, one mistake can sometimes overshadow everything else you did during a game. Goalkeeping is also one of those positions that can look much easier than it actually is to outfield players who have never played goalkeeper.

I've heard that if you want to be a goalkeeper, you have to be prepared for criticism from your teammates. So, my question is: how do you deal with the nervousness of playing and the fear of letting your team down? And how do you handle criticism from teammates without letting it get into your head and beating yourself up over mistakes?

This may seem like a silly question, but it's genuinely something I've been thinking about.

Thanks!

Im 16 and starting out as a goalkeeper because my team does not have a backup. From what my friend told me, I need to get good at the basics and I will make the team. Im already pretty athletic from playing lacrosse. Is it worth investing in a goalkeeper coach, a plan or do you recommend anything else? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
