Thoughts on The Cycling GK? My Favourite Save? Trial Tips? - Goalkeeper Q&A | Keeping Goals S5Ep8

[@HenrySaveAll]

@benfoster will be so jealous of that pretty machine you’ve got 🚲😂

[@ConorOKeefe]

Can't blame him.. Really is the best you can get hahah

[@shanewright2772]

By the looks of that bike, you're the RE-cycling GK!

[@wengelboii1832]

this is class😭

[@ConorOKeefe]

Very good haha

[@ikuwaa]

"absolute legend" can't wait for the collab with ben🙏🏻all the best con!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Wan! Would be unreal!

[@matgk3359]

Conor O’keefe and ters tegen are my idols .

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you!!

[@YippySoCal]

I hope he keeps enjoying what he’s doing. He’s living a life most people dream of. Keep smiling!!!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Josh!

[@mazzagkx]

White gloves look very slick. Definitely the best looking.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Agreed!

[@agdutt_01]

Thanks for the great advice!!! Best of luck Connor!!!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate!

[@tobeyhill8761]

Good Shout on Kasper!! I’m a Leicester fan so it’s great to hear 🙌🏼

[@ConorOKeefe]

Top top keeper!

[@thebrems3]

Love this lad! Ben Foster is an absolute legend.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate! He's a top guy!

[@RobJaskula]

Have thought since you moved to Pitea that the outfield kits are pretty sharp! Those Adidas stripes on that solid red are always a good look, and the black kits are pretty crisp as well. Would agree with you that your kits are the best that you've worn. Look good, feel good, play good!

[@ConorOKeefe]

100%!! Can’t go wrong with Adidas kits, definitely spoilt with them!

[@eddlovatt]

Love it Con & Jonny another great one lads 👍🏻

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Edd! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@felixbreitfuss2298]

Hopefully a win for chelsea today haha, we'll see i guess. Great video connor. Keep on keeping goals😂

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hopefully not!! Thanks Felix, appreciate that!

[@oliverweng114]

When you were talking about nerves, a great way to look at it and think about it. I'll add this to my mentality!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Oliver! Hope it helps!

[@awhfulszn]

you should definitely do more q&a's !

[@ConorOKeefe]

Will try and do more! I do monthly ones for Patrons too!

[@lukeeb26]

Only thing on sunday is waiting for another episode of keeping goals ! And later I start my goalies trainer journey. So nice start of the day and hope for nice finish 😁

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate!! Hope it all went well!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Love that Ethan!

[@oliverweng114]

Quality!

[@CatCatchCold]

Great video but really want to watch more training sessions. I understand perhaps there would be concerns that your oppositions might get valueable information from those clips, but how about releasing an longer yet edited (like cutted out the mistakes and the areas that you aer struggling with) version of your training?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Will have more training footage coming in the next vlog!!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Top top Keeper! You Danes must be doing something right!!

[@jimbuckley2862]

Love the Q&A. 💪🏼 Surprised the Green Gloves weren't in the top two though. 🥲

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Jim! They're right up there for sure!

[@jimbuckley2862]

@@ConorOKeefe I agree with you by the way that Grey / Turquoise Adidas keeper kit is 🔥🔥🔥. If you were asked what colour you wanted your kit to be what would you choose? I remember years ago at Crystal Palace I asked them about the keeper kits and they said the first choice keeper picked the Home GK kit colour and the Sub picked the change kit colour. Not sure if that is common practice but still pretty cool.

[@devonhudson5461]

I love joe hart aswell

[@mangowave2757]

My team likes to play tiki taka. So I think that I fit well cause I played as a left winger and my touch is decent.

[@dajjy]

I got the update for this episode but it didnt appear on my feed. Had to go to your channel to get it.... just a heads up if your episode views drop

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks for letting me know mate, no idea why that would happen! In the hands of the KZbin gods!

[@mayhem_matt1182]

love it con!!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate! Hope you enjoy it!

[@MrDerbycounty4life]

Great video again! What would your advice be for getting better diving on your weak side?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate, appreciate that. Loads and loads of repetitions! Build up the technique from literally kneeling if you need to!

[@tomhotchkiss7444]

You missed out Shrewsbury when talking about joe hart 😭😭

[@ConorOKeefe]

How could I forget!! Hahah

[@gangbang2347]

You should tell pitea to consider making an all black kit.It would be epiccc

[@ConorOKeefe]

Our away kit last year was all black, looked class! But the outfield one unfortunately!

[@mcsweeney9582]

Id say your bike is better then ben fosters hahaha keep it up bud

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hahah thanks mate

[@TheAnsuu]

Fatbike could come in clutch when having to deal with conditions like that. They aint cheap though sadly :/

[@ConorOKeefe]

Might have to struggle on with this beauty until we can afford that level haha

You have already tried chewing tobacco in Sweden ? it is very popular and traditional in Sweden

[@ConorOKeefe]

I haven’t, it’s not something that I personally want to try, but I know a lot of people like it!

[@smarty1ism]

Hi Conor, I’m mainly an outfielder player in 11 a side, I was a GK when I was younger but being only 5’9 I’m not exactly a presence in nets anymore😂 any tips on how to improve, and what to focus on when I play 6 a side and go in goals? Great vid btw

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate! For 6 aside, it's mainly speed/reactions. Depending on the size of your goal, you want to try and read situations quickly, work on your one v one shapes, and then your short passing when in possession! Hope that helps!

[@smarty1ism]

@@ConorOKeefe I think the goal size is 12x6, but I’ve noticed the majority of goals I concede are in the bottom corners, especially to my weaker left side, but I’ll work on your suggestions and go from there, thanks Conor!

[@giorgoschatzakis6056]

Conor I wanted to ask you a Quick question. In what point do you think footballers should think of team tactics, mental preparation and teamates difficulties during the game and try to help them or Just trying to do their personal best. Otherwise, can always thinking of the team help you be a pro rather than someone with talent but without much understand of the game and without team spirit?

[@ConorOKeefe]

You need both as a goalkeeper to be honest. The main thing is that you do your job well, as that is what will help the team the most. If you can help even more on top of that, then great, but don't be focusing too much on helping everyone else if it affects you doing your job correctly! It's a balancing act

[@andykeys7922]

Great Q&A ........ love the fact you think your the cycling GK mark 2 ... bens rolls Royce to your penny farthing 😂😂 your keeping it real .. keep it up Connor ...

[@ConorOKeefe]

Hahah thanks Andy! Appreciate that!

[@matthewalistoun7705]

sup conor just one question, I recently made it into a football academy and I am struggling with stamina is there any tips you could possibly have

[@ConorOKeefe]

You can improve cardio stamina by doing higher intensity GK sessions! Or start doing one or two longer runs/cycle rides a week!

[@moazali3800]

Great episode as always mate! I just have a question, how much time do you spend on electronic devices (mobile, etc...).

[@ConorOKeefe]

Quite a lot!

[@daraghbuggle2171]

Wall con you and cycling gk is so good

Cheers daragh!

[@lachieontopp1278]

Hey mate, I am a keeper 3 years into my trade. 25 years old, but I can’t dive to my right. Left no problem, just can’t seem to do it. Any tips?

[@ConorOKeefe]

It's just about getting lots of practice on that side. In training, try and get lots of reps in, build it up slowly. You can even start with reps from a kneeling position. That will build your confidence for that side

[@xnighty9livesx128]

Hey con I’m having a mental block with diving to my left do you have anything or any advice for me to get rid of this ?

[@ConorOKeefe]

It's practice really! Build it up slowly, loads of reps, you can even start off just diving from your knees if you want to. But loads of reps in training will help you to overcome it

[@lfctango1759]

Even though I’m a Liverpool fan, if you played for Man U I would still cheer for you.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Ahah wow, big compliment! Thank you mate ahah

[@alexpaulsen6540]

If the piteå summergames where to happen this summer would you tune in? Me and my team would be last year participants so would be cool to see you tuning in if we went.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Yes, would definitely come and watch if I was able to!

[@Daxton107]

Conor u get pay? For playing in Swedish team?

[@theoriemersma2248]

You didn’t answer my question in the vid so I just wondered how you should handle crossing if you have strikers are 7-10 cm taller. So what I mean is how to go through traffic without a doubt in your head. Wish you all the best mate and hoping for a good match when you play Karlstad fotboll

[@ant8953]

well you can use your arms and hands and they can’t, so you almost always have an advantage in the air

[@ConorOKeefe]

Try and work on different situations in training. In the next episode of the podcast, I go a bit more in depth, but get used to a zone that you are happy to come and claim in. If you are smaller, try and go around the impact, and get to the ball before, rather that hitting the opposition full on. Get used to that timing & spring through lots of repetitions in training!

[@theoriemersma2248]

@@ConorOKeefe Thanks mate will work on that❤️⚽️⚽️

[@theoriemersma2248]

@@ant8953 yeah thanks, but my jumping power has never been a problem so I am always up there but only if I get thru the traffic. So I am pretty built but Usely the strikers in our U15 in Sweden are 6 foot minimum (183 cm) but thanks anyways mate

How can I improve diving to my weak side

[@CatCatchCold]

I practiced the move in the gym on a soft pad for weeks. Before that I can't even dive to my left side.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Build it up slowly from literally kneeling down. Lots and lots of repetitions over time!
