4 1:1’s yesterday, from Michael at 37 to Polly at just 8…
Really difficult to do much when the weather has been so tough on the grass these last few months so the basics were the name of the game yesterday.
So impressed with all the gk’s yesterday, all different ages and abilities.
Michael just wanted to tick over, plenty of footwork and handing. What an absolute gentleman and a really high level goalkeeper.
Next it was Holly. Wow 😮 What can i say, her footwork and handling is second to none 🔥 She is currently playing for Liverpool and i can see why. Again just a generic session, hands and feet. A few little coaching details added as you can hear but only for her to think about, nothing major.
Following Holly we had Polly.
Polly has been coming to our Monday sessions for a while now. As you can see we worked on her diving techniques. A very simple drill is to master it first from your knees, makes the impact on the ground a little easier. Young goalkeepers sometimes land on their back or stomach or often on their elbow.
Just trying to help Polly know that if she lands on her side with her elbows out from under her body it wont hurt. She got it perfectly by the end of the session.
Last but not least i had Mia.
Again Mia has been coming to our Monday sessions for years now and can honestly say she is one of the bravest gk’s ive worked with. Unfortunately my battery went on my phone so i have no videos of the session but again she was incredible. She loves goalkeeping and i gave her a few tips on trying to change her hand position slightly, making sure they work together.
Well done to all 4 of you in tough warm conditions 🥵
