What's up guys, In todays session, you guys will be seeing me work with 9 year old goalkeeper, Christopher. Because he's only 9, I didn't want to overload him with crazy concepts OR an overly complex session structure. Instead, I chose a straightforward session with 2 core themes: unannounced services & creating depth with his distribution. After watching an English FA Learning Course, where the GK Dept. at AFC Bournemouth discussed the development of a skill vs development of a technique, I began to eliminate the volley from my service completely. Their point about developing a technique into a skill and how that would translate better to a game was something new for me to conceptualize. This is my 5th session with Chris since switching to unannounced services, and I have noticed his comfort levels rise to new heights when it comes to his handling anywhere inside & out of his bubble. We then covered creating depth prior to receiving a back-pass. Going from in & out of possession was key to have him visualize the actions before and after collecting a shot cleanly! With that being said, I hope you guys enjoy the session! --- Omar Zeenni ________________________________________________________ THANKS FOR WATCHING!

What's up guys, My goal with most of these drills (filmed last summer), was to work on Alejandro’s movements prior to the shots. Over that summer, I noticed that he had been jumping into his set position when performing recovery movements back to his line, as well as when coming forward into his prep set. So I really wanted to try and isolate those movements and felt that using “announced” services at the end points of his footwork would allow us to keep a controlled setting while potentially exposing that jump into his set. These drills were all in the activation progressions that would eventually lead into bigger recovery movements and live / unannounced services. 2 things I want you guys to pay attention to: 1) Balance 2) Stability They allow Alejandro to perform the proper mechanics by keeping him in the best positions possible in the moments leading up to the save! Also notice how discipline/stubborn he is about keeping his shoulders from shooting up in reaction to the shots he faces; which can become increasingly difficult as he gets more and more fatigued. With that being said, I hope you guys enjoy the session! --- Omar Zeenni ________________________________________________________ THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Podcast 👉🏼https://anchor.fm/progkacademy What's up guys, I wanted to try something new and share some uncut footage from a year or so ago. The idea behind this new series will be to have you guys listen in on the conversations that I have with the goalkeepers I work with! As always, I appreciate your guys' opinion! Let me know what you think of this video! Thanks again for watching guys, all the best. --- Omar Zeenni ________________________________________________________ THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Podcast 👉🏼https://anchor.fm/progkacademy I wanted to share a session I did a year ago with D1 goalkeeper, Noah Abrams. Because we worked on crosses & cutbacks, I wanted to make sure that Noah saw a lot of those similar movements from our activation sets! P.s. I filmed this session over a year ago and have learned so much about session structure since then! While I wasn't the biggest fan of how this one came out, I thought I would share to show you guys my progression as a coach! Hope you enjoy.

👇🏽FULL EPISODE w/ Tom Weal👇🏽 📲 https://bit.ly/301QuTL 🗣Tom Weal | Head of Academy Goalkeeping for Norwich City FC Loved this soundbite from my chat with Tom Weal, who is the Head of Academy Goalkeeping for Norwich City Fc. Tom has his Masters in Sports Coaching, so much of our discussion was based around how his dissertation in Goalkeeper Development trainings has influenced his own coaching style/curriculum. Was fascinated to hear that only 4 out of 45 goalkeepers in the 2016 Euros were in Academies by or before the age of 12. I was even more shocked to find that of the 4, none of them were goalkeepers in the academy, but rather field players. Really made me think of all of the potential gk's we've missed out on merely because of a late growth spurt or maturation process! Enjoy - Omar Zeenni THANKS FOR WATCHING!

👇🏽FULL EPISODE w/ Andrew Sparkes 👇🏽 📲https://bit.ly/36BYfAU 🗣Andrew Sparkes | Head of Goalkeeping for EPL side Southampton FC Creating a Goalkeeping Culture I think one of my biggest faults as a coach has been trying to prove to the goalkeepers I work with that the sessions I put together are what I think is best for their development; when really, it's all about that collaborative effort, and this was a great reminder for me!

🎥 Footage is from the English FA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLYPrnKCNg4&t=8s 👇🏽FULL EPISODE w/ Tim Dittmer 👇🏽 📲https://bit.ly/3c6NqYG 🗣Tim Dittmer | Head of Goalkeeping for English FA Really loved this point that Tim made in our conversation. It’s important for young goalkeepers to find their own identities vs trying to conform and fit a certain mold. Is it important to have good technique? Yes. Is it important to be up to date with what the modern game is asking of you? Yes. Those are both important, but remember, coaches aren’t just looking for a cookie cutter goalkeeper, they want someone that’s unique and can maximize their skill set!

Since we're all cooped up inside, I wanted to share a session I did a few months back with D1 goalkeeper, Noah Abrams. Because Noah was returning from an injury, the goal of the session was to build up his goalkeeper fitness to get him back up to speed for his spring season! That being said, I designed a session with a heavy workload to build the muscle memory back in his legs, while forcing him to execute proper decisions when fatigued. After the activation progression, I wanted to put his recovery movements to the test with crosses. So throughout the session, you'll notice that I began adding more and more decisions to Noah's plate. I structured it in a way that would force him to make sure that he completed his first task before moving to the next one! That was my strategic way of making sure he was breathing properly and creating clarity in his mind prior to making his next decision. Clarity in the mind is something that many of us have built up through a pre-season / seasons workload. That being said, I was definitely happy with what each drill asked of him, as well as the pictures being drawn from it. As you're watching the session, please understand that this workload is not something that I would recommend you do with your goalkeepers. This was more of a goalkeeper fitness session than a normal one. So if you do attempt to do this, make sure to modify the reps and/or workload accordingly!
