Your Thoughts ?
Guys, whats your thoughts on keepers now just running out , stopping and doing the Z stance? I know if i was a centre forward, i would be in my apple cart, i would just wait for them to stop, and go around the keeper! But whats your thoughts... do you think the Z position is best, or you like the good ole fashioned diving at the forwards feet, while trying to go through them at same time 💥 Actually lets see your vote and comments below 👇

The Spread should be used and taught to deal with visual triggers - it should be used as the striker pulls back his leg to shoot and you are too far away to smother the ball - if you watch the video, the keeper only gets into that position when the strikers foot leaves the ball. The whole running out thing is a different matter, if the ball is under the attackers control I would want my keepers to be on the balls of their feet ready to smother a bad touch, or spread if needed - they should only move if the ball moves

@Liam Jones Getting nutmegged is always a risk, as is the forward dinking the ball over you if you commit to the smother at their feet. Both techniques have their time and place in games.Only repetitions and giving your keeper the opportunity to make decisions and learn from them will help them get it right more times than not
WELCOME!
I'm officially launching this community the end of September 2026, so things may be a little quiet until then. So in between now and the end September, we can have some small talk - and i might also have a group live call, if you are up for this? In the meantime, please introduce yourself below — and most importantly, let me know what you’d love to see in this community to support you on your journey. Also, coming soon in the CLASSROOM (Link above) I will be teaching how you can get your own goalkeeper schools live within 7 days, and how to create more opportunities re getting goalkeeper coaching jobs. My goal is to build the largest and most supportive global community for goalkeeper coaches. If you let me know what your biggest hurdle is at present, I am pretty confident i can help. Again Welcome. Ray
WELCOME!

Hi all, I’m Steve Miles. I worked last year at Stevenage FC's Girls talent pathway with both outfield players as well as Goalkeepers. Just completed trials for next season and hoping to continue in the role. I also coach an Mens step 6 club and a ladies team. As a former keeper I am looking to specialise more as a GK coach moving forward
