Full Solo Goalkeeper Training Session

[@justgopro8511]

Cheers Conor, once a young keeper, I know all too well it can be difficult on an amateur level to train to improve. This is a great help to young keepers in the same boat! More content to support them would be massively helpful

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate, that’s what the channel is all about! Trying to help GKs of all ages & abilities!

No its beyond the pro level guy 😂 lol

Thank you mate!

[@enockdimas2534]

@@ConorOKeefe you're the best

[@tempestional]

i know this isn’t a big deal unless an attacker is rushing you and could catch your leg, but after a low dive it really annoys me when i see the leg which doesn’t hit the ground go up and form like a 90 degree angle. of course no one is rushing you and in general people won’t so it isn’t a big deal, but yeah it’s the one thing i don’t like that you do. cuz besides that the standard is so high and you’re just such a good keeper overall!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Interesting point, wonder why it bugs you! It something that I've found in certain types of drills/dives, doesn't happen all the time! Never found that it negatively affects the action itself. But as always, appreciate the feedback! Thanks mate!

[@NevR5]

I've seen more keepers finish their collapse dives with their top hand on the ball and their lower arm out/bracing themselves, like around 9:45. Is this a tactical move, or is it more of a new technique?

[@ConorOKeefe]

For me, it's more secure, as the ball is less likely to pop out as the momentum of the dive continues! If you try and the ball in both hands & almost push it along the floor as you continue your dive, for me it feels unsteady/more likely to come out of your hands vs this way, but that's just my personal opinion!

[@DrGoofyEggman]

You could really become professional, maybe even sign for a club. Great work

[@beybladerELS]

Do you live in Sweden because piteå if is in Sweden And you have an intesport jacket and its coop and swedbank ads beside the field Föresten du är jätte bra

[@kristijancrnjak3510]

Conor should have multiple difrent sesions like one like this ,one for high dives and so on,or should i use this sesion only and do it multiple times a week(also have 3x training with the team

[@ConorOKeefe]

If you have 3x team sessions, + a game, I would focus on adding your gym sessions to your schedule first - then you can maybe add one more solo technical session a week to focus on key areas you want to improve on!

[@liam6962]

Great vid con, may need some new baselayer though 😂

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hahah thanks mate, been a long season 😂

[@TheSpectreAW]

I've been watching your videos for a while, Connor, it's given me motivation as recently in the past month or two I got into goalkeeping, but being 15 most are telling me its too late but thankfully, a coach recognised some potential in me but I don't train often with him sadly, this video is exactly what I need, thanks!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Great to hear! It's never too late to enjoy playing in goal & to improve. Keep going & you will surprised where you get to! Glad that this video can help in some way

there was a time when I was trying to make a living as a goalkeeper. now im 33 and trying to get back into playing again after 4 years off. These drills are very helpful and very inspiring to get back on the pitch again

[@ConorOKeefe]

Love that, all the best for it, and enjoy being back out there!

[@adrianlinda5320]

You never responded to my comments

If I could be half the keeper this bloke is I'd be doing alright

[@ConorOKeefe]

What a lovely comment, thank you

[@Pjungwp]

Phenomenal. As an adult beginner just wanting to enjoy low hobby level soccer, these solo sessions are super practical and helpful. (Hard to find someone who would spend time to help a 44 year old beginner get better at keeper)

[@ConorOKeefe]

We're here to help Goalies of all ages and levels!! So glad that you like the vid, and that you are enjoying your goalkeeping!

[@mattloughlin8472]

Quick question mate, @ 10:15, how come you and many other keepers finish in that position when taking a low save. I always was told to keep both hands on the ball and bring it in to secure it, but I see every pro do it this way, how come?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hi Matt, couple have asked about that. For me, it's more secure, as the ball is less likely to pop out as the momentum of the dive continues! If you try and keep the ball in both hands & almost push it along the floor as you continue your dive, for me it feels unsteady/more likely to come out of your hands vs this way, but that's just my personal opinion!

Just played a game yesterday at 3pm CST in Austin. Around 4 ball played through the top of the box, defender attempted to hold off the ST, I went to smother, got the ball , and yet the ST still swung through like was trying to score. Connected with the side of my jaw and *snap*. Broken jaw. Clean cut down the bottom middle. Drove all the way back to Houston and for about the last 10hrs I've been waiting in the ER waiting room. Surgery coming up soon. Just turned 17 a month ago as well. First time I've broken something. Didn't cry or anything😎. Any tips for a fellow keeper.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Sorry to hear that Max! Hope the surgery goes well & you recover quickly! All the best mate!

Do you modify your solo session based on feedback from your coaches or do you build your sessions to reinforce basics?

Bit of both! Important to work on the basics consistently, but then you can add in some drills to work on areas you want to improve as well!
