Goalkeeper Training with the IDEAL GK | Keeping Goals S3Ep52

In today's episode of Keeping Goals, I head down to the South of England to train with two very special guests, Dec McCarthy (IdealGK) and Harry Isted (1stedGK). I'm sure you have seen their work over on Instagram, but it was a pleasure to train with two top keepers. I hope you enjoy the video, and that it brings you some value as always. If you enjoy it, please give the video a like - it really helps us out - and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you!!

[@girishdaga9863]

Conor O'Keefe Conor can you please check ur Instagram DM I have asked a question

[@kemzstudios6489]

Not gonna lie Connor this video helped me a lot. I live in a country (Turks and Caicos Islands its a tropical place u should visit) where like it’s a bunch of islands, and there’s a city island and more like a country side island. I live in the countryside like island so I don’t get the proper goalkeeper training as to the people in the city, like we don’t even have a grass pitch I train on a bunch of sand and pebbles... but I go every few weeks to the city *(they have a grass pitch)* when they want to train me or when I’m free to go when school isn’t holding me back cuz I’m somewhat tall I’m 5’8” at 13 idk if that’s tall or not but yuh they see me as tall so they like me to be their keeper (basically I play for my country) so now I will use this video for technique purposes and such. Thanks for doing this collab. I already know this is going to help me a lot. I subscribed by the way!! Edit: there’s a bunch of other keepers who are lucky enough to live in the city who get proper training, but they’re like young and a little shorter, but they still often get picked over me cuz I wasn’t trained properly.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks you, I'm really glad that you found the video helpful! It sounds like you're already putting in the hard work, so well done!! Keep trying to find as many ways as possible to improve your game, and all those sacrifices will pay off. Good luck my friend!

[@kerrmckinlay7587]

Thank you! I definitely will, wanted to do loads this summer but got postponed unfortunately!

[@landysky3857]

Espectacular...como todos tus videos..un saludo amigo

[@ConorOKeefe]

Muchas gracias amigo!

[@adampeters1482]

Great video. Awesome to see the GK union get together. Good exposure for everyone. My comment is this : the slow motion ( I'm sure everyone thinks that it is what it is, a cool effect, a bit of an additive to the presentation.) I just want to say that I think you can learn so much in regard to technique, starting position, body mechanics etc when the slo-mo is utilized. You could really use it as a teaching tool for both good and bad. Just saying. Love the content, keep up the great work.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Adam! Yes, of course, slow motion is a great tool for analysis. We try to use it in that way to help people!

[@charleyscully8823]

Hi Conor, can you do a video on how to select goalkeeper gloves and how to measure sizes? All the best in your career. Charley

[@stinton2264]

Absolute banger of a vid mate! Got any videos on throwing techniques? it's something I can't seem to nail personally. Keep on keeping goals!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Ben! I don't have one specifically on throwing yet, but I do touch on it in S2Ep13!

[@alisonsargent5158]

Hey Connor love 💖 your vids and keep up the Astonishing content hope your family will well and safe

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Daniel! All good thank you, hope you're all well!

Thanks Theo!

[@abhinavmedhi1889]

hey con! great fan of yours. just wanted to know some tips from you about diving.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Step forward, attack the ball, push & fly! The more you practice the easier it gets. You can build it up slowly from kneeling too if needed, if you want to build confidence

[@tuckering7777]

Yes thank god my 2 fav insta keepers finally collabed

[@harryisted4389]

And ideal_gk 🙌🏼

[@ConorOKeefe]

He just tagged along

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hope you enjoyed it mate!

[@zacharytan7100]

That scissors kick though woooooah

[@ConorOKeefe]

😉

[@MrDerbycounty4life]

Great vid again! Have you got any tips on how to improve hand and finger strength?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you! Conventional keeper training will help, but other sports like rock climbing could help!

[@mossyman3682]

[@krishna1surujdeo187]

Conor, you are an amazing keeper, but with them strikes, you could be a top class striker

[@ConorOKeefe]

Ahaha who knows, maybe a career change! Thank you my friend

[@Dylan-cv3up]

Can you do a review on the adidas goalkeeper gloves

[@TheSpiderhavok]

Great drills. Will definitely use the ideas shown here. What gloves were you guys wearing? They look cool as well.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Hernán! I wear kaliaaer gloves, the link to them is in my bio!

[@yaranicole7646]

you should make a video with modern goalkeeping

[@giorgoschatzakis6056]

Nice One! What a goalkeeper needs from his defenders for you?

[@njsofresh1564]

Had to watch the ads so Conor could get his bred

[@ConorOKeefe]

My man 🙌🏼🙌🏼 big love

[@twatscramps7885]

Damn, you guys have hella good hand speed btw, I made it to d3 ncaa level and our training ain’t that quick most the time

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate!

[@jaybanks6815]

Lol this is where I play football on sundays

[@ConorOKeefe]

Nice!!

[@noahcollins915]

You are the only reason I became a goalkeeper

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you Noah!

[@just.reverse]

I have the same gloves as you, and I'm wondering how you get such good grip with them

[@ConorOKeefe]

They are great gloves! But a lot of it is improving your handling too, not just relying on the gloves!

[@CatCatchCold]

It seems that you scored the only goal in the training so I guess that makes you the best shooter among them.

[@zacharytan7100]

are those unreleased 1ynx gloves?

[@maikendrangberg6719]

you really inspired me to be a gk

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Maiken!
