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!

[@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

[@jacksonkoo7336]

Most of us when we go on a holiday we down tools. You keep training! Great professionalism! Love the video.

Thanks Jackson! Couldn't turn down the opportunity to train with these guys!

Thank you Ilyass, very kind of you!

[@ilyasstahar4189]

You are welcome bro

[@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!

[@englandismanscity4798]

Hey Conor quick question whenever I wash my gloves they take like 2 days to dry any way to speed this up

[@dead9110]

How are you drying them?

[@slothy-vlogs]

Why does this video feel like the England gk videos. loved it cant wait to see more

[@ConorOKeefe]

Love that!! That's what we were aiming for! We love those videos!

[@priyanshukisku2860]

I use to be a good keeper, but after my eyesight degrade it's become hard for me to pass and see long balls, should I go with glasses or Quite 11 side football

[@ConorOKeefe]

I wear contact lenses! They can help!

[@ariaabdullah4807]

I'm 14 years old and I was a striker before and I have been a goalkeeper for a couple of months now and I want to ask is it too late for me to become a goalkeeper? A lot of my teammates have said that I am better than our second best goalkeeper so I hope that's a sign

[@ConorOKeefe]

Of course not! Put in the work & it's never too late!

[@aaronbienentreu9627]

14:40 why aren't you a striker tho😂😂 even Ronaldo couldn't hit it better🥳😂

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!

Why do you have voice from characters in games whenever you speak it seems your robot.between how tall should you be I am 1.87cm Tall in the morning but during the day I am 1.84 cm barefoot with shoes on I am 1.85-1.86 cm I feel short at 1.85 cm I believe minimum is 188cm or 6'2 to reach more heights and be effective being Goal keeper.

[@emirbayramcan7068]

It actually depends how good you are im 182 and i play u17 euros for my country last year and there are so tall goalkeepers in my age but the important things what are u doing when u are in goal but i have to work harder than everyone else because of my height check my videos from ig if you want @emrbyrmcn

Anyone else get annoyed when people say “you”. Like you know there name just say it. No hate Obvs

[@jonnyjjw]

It’s a Northern thing, and it’s considered endearing and complimentary in the North as it’s primarily to credit an individual with the accomplishment and not anyone else - ‘well done you’. I’ve never thought of it as weird or annoying, but it’s what I’m used to hearing! Lol

[@ConorOKeefe]

Never noticed it before! Just an endearing term in my opinion!

[@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!
