Good morning, all. Any tips and tricks to help a young keeper who is struggling to kick from his hands? I know repetition is what will bring him on, but any advice to help the process would be greatly appreciated. He's 8 and quite small for his age (not sure if this is relevant) Thanks 😊

If you’re dreaming of walking out of the tunnel as a professional goalkeeper or securing a life-changing scholarship, you already know the physical grind isn't enough. To reach the top, you need the "Iron Pillar"—a mindset that doesn't bend, break, or blink under pressure. The harsh reality? 95% of goalkeeper coaches focus only on the dive and the catch, completely ignoring the most vital skill in the game: Mental Mastery. That’s why J4K is launching THE GOALKEEPER MASTERY APP. Think of it as having a world-class mentor in your pocket 24/7. In just a few minutes a day, we’ll help you build a bulletproof, professional-grade mindset. Parents: We know the stress of watching from the touchline. This app is designed to support you too, giving you the tools to help your keeper navigate the highs and lows of the "Goalie Union" with confidence and resilience.

Afternoon all. So, we'll hopefully be upgrading to some J4K gloves for our keeper, soon. I didn't even know there was a separate class of glove specifically for artificial surfaces. We play our home games, and also train on 3G, so we will probably opt for 3G gloves. One of the main "pros" is obvious, a more durable glove, but I'm interested to know what opinions are on them, particularly the "cons", if any. Also, are the "care of" instructors the same, like keeping them moist during games? Thanks 😊
