The soccer coach specialized in goalkeeper training is increasingly present in elite coaching\u00a0staffs and training academies. The soccer industry, aware of the importance of the goalkeeper\u00a0in the group’s collective performance, has opened its doors wide to our professional figure. We\u00a0even see goalkeeping coaches setting up their own private academies and working\u00a0independently.<\/p>\n

In any of these contexts, the goalkeeping coach generally deals with situations that make it\u00a0difficult to achieve an efficient training time. Some examples are huge groups, goalkeepers\u00a0with different levels, lateness, lack of equipment, short sessions, travels, load management,\u00a0etc. In any case, we aim to work with goalkeepers that learn and understand the game, for\u00a0them to progressively become more and more effective in front of the situations that arise in\u00a0the competition. That is why despite managing all these disadvantageous circumstances, we\u00a0must continue insisting on trying to elaborate good training to increase the level of our\u00a0goalkeepers.<\/p>\n

Just like all of you, when we try to achieve this objective, we ask ourselves thousands of\u00a0questions, for example:<\/p>\n

\n

How should I organize the session?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

What kind of exercises should I propose: isolated or<\/strong>
\ncontextualized?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Should I do a good warm-up or should I try to develop a specific concept?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

The thoughtful answers to the above questions provide us with many solutions to our\u00a0problems, so we will try to answer them individually. The first thing to do is to pay attention to\u00a0the internal structure of the session or the exercises we propose. It is essential to elaborate\u00a0dynamic exercises where not only one goalkeeper but two or even three, can be an excellent\u00a0option to make the most of the time. When we involve not performing goalkeepers as helpers\u00a0during the task, this will help them keep their attention on it and, at the same time, favor their\u00a0learning by observing their teammate.<\/p>\n

Within the organization of the specific session part, an essential aspect that can help us to\u00a0make the most of the available time is the “feedback moment<\/strong>“. This term refers to the\u00a0moment when we talk to or give information to our goalkeepers during the exercise or task. It\u00a0is evident that, due to the lack of time, correcting the goalkeepers one by one may be an\u00a0unnecessary waste of time. For this reason, we invite you to pre-establish how the task will be\u00a0developed and specify the exact times when we will stop the activity and give some feedback\u00a0to our keepers. There are many options to carry out this objective: at the end of an exercise,\u00a0after each variant, exposing the common mistakes at the beginning of the exercise, correcting\u00a0a specific goalkeeper in each exercise…<\/p>\n

The important thing here is that each correction,\u00a0whether individual or collective, becomes valuable information for the whole goalkeepers’\u00a0group<\/strong>. Thus, it is evident that during the task execution, we have to identify those common\u00a0mistakes they make so that a single correction will benefit the rest too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Due to the lack of time, when we program the exercises for our specific goalkeeping session,\u00a0we usually make a common mistake: prioritize contextualized activities, thinking that by\u00a0bringing the goalkeeper closer to the competition, we make better use of the little time we\u00a0have available. In our opinion, this perspective is often wrong. By performing exercises with a\u00a0more open decision-making, we do not accelerate the goalkeeper’s learning process, but\u00a0rather the opposite. When we rush the learning process by designing tasks with a high\u00a0uncertainty level, their objectives become abstract and do not facilitate the assimilation of\u00a0concepts. We design exercises for the main part of the session without going through a proper\u00a0warm-up, and above all, without considering other activities where we work on specific\u00a0concepts in a much more concrete way.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

We firmly believe this is perhaps the most common mistake that goalkeeper coaches tend to\u00a0make. If we always set up very open situations, the goalkeeper will deal with a multitude of\u00a0decisions<\/strong> for which he is often not motorically prepared, or directly does not have the\u00a0technical-tactical solution. This is why our proposal here is clearly directed to the work of\u00a0conceptual tasks<\/strong>. We see\u00a0much more productive to take advantage of a half-hour session to develop blocking in aerial\u00a0play accompanied by a good timing in the movement and the take-off; that, on the other hand,\u00a0to work on competitive situations of lateral crosses with opposition and disruption, plus\u00a0possible second actions in case of not gaining possession of the ball.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Obviously, it all depends on the level of the goalkeepers, but there is no doubt that a logical\u00a0progression is fundamental, from technical-specific work to elaborated tasks close to the\u00a0actual circumstances of the competition. We must build the house starting with the bases.
\nOtherwise, we could make faster progress at the beginning, but sooner or later the walls will\u00a0end up falling because their foundations are not solid.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this sense, the previous work of programming and planning plays a fundamental role.\u00a0Beyond the tasks we choose to carry out, it is a priority to progressively divide and structure\u00a0the contents. We can start working on the basic concepts and skills, and gradually introduce\u00a0them into the competition to develop a successful understanding of the game. Even if the\u00a0specific part is only 15 or 20 minutes long, concretizing and taking a certain technical-tactical\u00a0content, facilitates its acquisition. For example, isolated tasks where the goalkeeper must close\u00a0down the space in front of a specific ball and perform the knee flexion repeatedly will favor\u00a0that, in a future similar situation during the competition, he will be able to dive aggressively,\u00a0execute the knee flexion correctly and block the shot in the 1v1. This example can be\u00a0extrapolated to any other game situation.<\/p>\n

Finally, we invite you to reflect on your own planning and progression. Try to observe if the\u00a0contents’ evolution encourages their assimilation. That extra time we dedicate to elaborate\u00a0good content programming will exponentially facilitate the usefulness of our work in the field.<\/p>\n

The lack of effective training time to work specifically on goalkeeping contents is a common and very latent problem. In soccer academies, due to the large number of goalkeepers per group, as well as in professional football, due to the sessions and the competition’s demands, the goalkeeping coach is constantly exposed to this situation. As we will show throughout this article, we need to learn how to organize the sessions, how to make them more dynamic, and which technical-tactical aspects we should prioritize.
\nDespite this context, the goalkeeping coach must deal with it by focusing his attention on the very purpose of his profession: to try to facilitate the goalkeepers’ continuous learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":79780,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[471,201],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70391"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":79358,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70391\/revisions\/79358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/79780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miporteria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
