So first of 2 fully interactive training session ahead of the weekends charity match. A wee sprain of the wrist but some great effort by those I was coaching and great to get involved with it

Did You Win - 🥁🥁🥁 If you want to be 'automatically' be added to next weeks competition, all you have to do is... 1. Comment on other members posts. 2. Write your own value posts. IMPORTANT. You have to add images or videos, otherwise you will not be added to the competition even if you get into the Top 10. Next winner, will be picked next Wednesday... Good luck Ray

So in the world of Goalkeeping I note so many youngsters who are absolutely dialled in, however I am noticing a lot who don’t seem to know when to switch on and when to switch off. It is all about our favourite thing MINDSET Goalkeeping is a Bug, a Way of life I know I have put over 30 years into it and although I am playing a lot less now as I coach and only play charity games, we need to know when to switch off. When we learn that switch off it is always obvious because performance pressure is removed. So you may have seen if you follow my Instagram I am a going to be back in match action with Moray Mental Health in 2 weeks time my first MATCH in 7 weeks it brings a certain pressure. But that pressure is managed by knowing when to switch on and off. Now this is not a post getting at the young in fact quite the opposite it is to highlight that your enthusiasm is infectious. But living every spare minute in Goalkeeping can burn you out especially when you have a big game or session coming up. Of late I have been time managing more due to work, coaching and family commitments. But making sure you have an hour a day where you out everything to one side and forget the stresses and do something completely different I hope the younger members will read this and start to filter in their own break away from our exclusive positions thinking. Whilst also older members will go yep this is how we improve because we have that moment or additional that when we switch back on can be an even bigger benefit to ourselves and our teams Let me know your thoughts because you might even teach this old boy a thing as well because we never stop learning

I will offically start next week if i get enough interest... but lets se your designs below 👇

So what does a coach do when none of the Keepers are present….. well tonight I had exactly that situation (There was our GK who also llaya in the back line but the gaffer wants him currently training outfield. Well it gives you a chance to dust off and have a go. I won’t lie it was a tough session with lots of Shooting drills but good to just resharpen the skills somewhat. Full length dives, footwork. All good. Reaction time a split second off certainly to start with and a touch of an improvement then fatigue started to grip u til fluids on board. But certainly showed me there’s still a job I can do on the park for certain at a competitive level IMHO but we shall see going forward
