Shot Stopping w/ Recovery Movements | Part 2 | Pro Gk Pro Series

If you haven't seen part 1 of the Pro Gk Pro Series, I suggested you watch that before proceeding with Part II ▶ https://bit.ly/39Q0x0h With the first edition of this series, you will be watching Colorado Rapids Goalkeeper Coach and 1st Team Assistant, Chris Sharpe work his goalkeepers through a pre-season session that was all about recovery movements with balance, while creating depth behind bodies! It was a pleasure to be able to sit down with Chris and breakdown his session so that you guys had context as to WHY he designed his session the way that he did and WHY he made the coaching points that he did. My biggest takeaway as a coach was just how well each drill progressed into the next. I felt that he was intentional in his approach and made sure that each one built off the other, so that there was a consistent flow throughout. I encourage my fellow coaches to try and do the same!

Recovery Movements w/ Balance | Creating Depth Behind Bodies | Part 1 | Pro Gk Pro Series

Welcome to the Pilot Episode of the Pro Gk Pro Series! With the first edition of this series, you will be watching Colorado Rapids Goalkeeper Coach and 1st Team Assistant, Chris Sharpe work his goalkeepers through a pre-season session. As you'll see, this session was all about recovery movements with balance, while creating depth behind bodies! I started this series because I wanted to give you guys as much context behind a session as I could. I realized that when watching other gk sessions on social media, it was difficult to understand why a coach was doing what they were doing. That being said, I made sure to ask Chris to breakdown his session as well as provide context to what he was looking for in each progression! While watching the session, I want you guys to have an open mind and to also ask questions! Questions about the progressions, about the coaching points, and about the session as a whole! That curiosity is extremely important because, while we could all perform the same drills & progressions, I highly doubt that we'd coach it the exact same way. So keep an open mind and think about what Chris is saying, as well as what you'd say in those moments during a session! Lastly, for all of us coaches & for all of you goalkeepers, watch closely how Chris speaks to his goalkeepers. He was stern, yet respectful, and was able to get a lot out of his guys. His expectations from the service to the technique is as professional as it gets and I personally picked up a lot of Chris' coaching points, and have since adopted them to my sessions! Hope you guys enjoy & please let me know what you guys think! ** Podcast out Friday! EPISODE 2 COMING SOON!** ________________________________________________________ THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Goalkeeper Training w/ Philadelphia Union's, Phil Wheddon | Pro Gk

SUBSCRIBE HERE ▶ https://bit.ly/38iYZLQ --------------------------------------------------------- What's up guys, I recently attended a coaching workshop where the lead instructor was Philadelphia Unions Director of Goalkeeping, Phil Wheddon. Phil is one of the top goalkeeping minds in the world and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to bring your guys an inside look into his coaching style. When watching the session, I want you guys to take notice of his coaching points and see if there is anything that you can take and apply to your game. My hope is that both coaches and goalkeepers As a coach, I personally walked away with a ton of new information, but the one piece that stood out to me the most was: Don't over coach or try to "fix" someone's style if they're already successful at it! Rather than trying to force your technique or methodology on them, instead, work with their style and see if maybe you can give them some tips to help refine what they're already comfortable with. You shouldn't sacrifice your goalkeepers' confidence just to satisfy your ego as a coach. This is something that I have personally struggled with myself, because we believe that we can "fix" someone or that our "methodology" is the end all, be all. When really, there are so many factors at play when developing a goalkeeper. There isn't a one size or one style fits all and that's how I feel that we as coaches should approach it.

Reaction Saves, Shot Stopping & Distribution | Goalkeeper Training | Pro Gk

↓ Join our Patreon ↓ ► https://www.patreon.com/progkacademy SUBSCRIBE HERE ▶ https://bit.ly/38iYZLQ --------------------------------------------------------- What’s up guys, welcome back to the Off-Season Series, Season 2! With episode 6, I wanted to work on multiple things: cutbacks + reactions, angled shot stopping, and decision making. Throughout the session, I wanted to make sure that the guys' hand eye coordination was prepped with each activation exercise so that they could handle the close range reactions saves they'd see further along in the session. So from the first warmup drill, up until the very last one, I wanted to make sure that they saw a ton of shots either to the hands or around the bubble. Shots in the bubble can sometimes be very straight forward but after when we add some movement to those shots, technique can sometimes go out the window. So, that's why it was important to ease them through the session to get their hand-eye coordination where it needed to be. All in all, I hope that you guys enjoyed the sessions, let me know what you think! All the best and so much more coming for this channel in 2020! - Omar Zeenni - THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Shot Stopping + Cutbacks | Goalkeeper Training | Pro Gk

↓ Join our Patreon ↓ ► https://www.patreon.com/progkacademy SUBSCRIBE HERE ▶ https://bit.ly/38iYZLQ --------------------------------------------------------- What’s up guys, welcome back to the Off-Season Series, Season 2! With episode 5, I wanted to work on multiple things: cutbacks, angled shot stopping, decision making, and across the goal movements. Throughout the session, I wanted to make sure that the guys' hand eye coordination was prepped with each activation exercise so that they could handle the close range reactions saves they'd see further along in the session. So from the first warmup drill up until the very last one, the goal was to have their movement from point A to point B, where at point B they would have to deal with a shot, either to the hands or slightly outside the bubble. Easing them into the session allowed them to work on their hip mobility as well as their hand eye coordination/technique!

Shot Stopping, Angled Movements & Distribution | Goalkeeper Training | Pro Gk Sessions

↓ Join our Patreon ↓ ► https://www.patreon.com/progkacademy SUBSCRIBE HERE ▶ https://bit.ly/38iYZLQ --------------------------------------------------------- What’s up guys, welcome back to the Off-Season Series, Season 2! With episode 4, I wanted to work on multiple things: angled shot stopping, decision making, distribution & across the goal movements. Throughout the session, you'll notice how I eased into the topic of the day and made sure that the guys were not only physically ready to perform those cross step movements but that they were also mentally ready to face them as well. Whether it was with their decision making or footwork, I wanted to make sure that each progression fed into the next. While I felt I did that, you'll see that at times, trying to force a specific footwork or style is not always the best way to go. Each goalkeeper has their own unique style and/or preference, so it's important to understand that and to keep an open mind! All in all, I hope that you guys enjoyed the sessions, let me know what you think! All the best and so much more coming for this channel in 2020! - Omar Zeenni - THANKS FOR WATCHING!
