Training Drills

[@joshie902100]

hi i'm 11 years old i am a goalkeeper too i live in canada i have played at the top level of soccer (Futbol) for my age i would just like to say that your videos have inspired me to continue to work hard and practice to try to try and fulfill my goals and dreams of becoming a professional goalkeeper so thank you and keep continuing to make videos once again thank you and good luck!

[@Coolguyperson]

OMG your officially my twin!!!! GO BUFFON #1 goalkeeper that inspires me!

[@Thinladia]

One further way to avoid harming your elbows is to stretch out your arms. That requires catching the ball in front of you (in your complete length of your arms) It is not easy to get used to it, but it works!

[@kingjud]

just got back into keeping and can remember being taught when diving you should push off using the leg the ball is closest to. for example... a shot comes in to your left hand-side, push off by putting more force into your left foot and your body shouldn't rotate... i don't know if this relates to your problem at all but hopefully it can help, cheers.

[@timdoyle17]

good drills for strength and stuff, maybe consider holding onto the ones that the coach kicks? just a thought

[@BFactah]

Staying focussed through the game is a concentration issue that does not relate to talking to team mates. Focussing relates to tracking the ball and always being ready for a shot. Regarding talking to your team mates I suggest you go to a professional game and watch a 'good' keeper who communicates well with his players. Main commands in english are 'Push up', 'Keepers', 'Away', 'No shot', 'No cross' etc. This is about being aware. To improve it you can do a variety of things.

[@Thinladia]

Besides: Vliegendekeep is right, if you land on the ball it supports not hurting your ellbows. In combination with stretching your arms you should not have any problems ;) Just practice, pratice, practice! :D

[@BFactah]

There are many you can do. However you need someone to kick the ball. Stand in the goal facing the net. Get the person to kick the ball from the 18 yard box and then turn around when you hear the sound of the ball being kicked and try to save the ball. That's fairly advanced. You can do the same except the server calls and then you turn around and save the ball. I think this drill is in one of my other videos. I'll try to find it for you. If you want any other tips just send me a message. Ben

[@aristeufn]

JUST EXCELLENT!!!

[@BFactah]

Make sure you are using the ball to guide and cushion your landing when you catch the ball. You should be landing on your side and remember you lead with your hands. Push to the ball. Keep your arms stretched out but not locked.

[@Footballscoutaustral]

good work

[@laserxxxx]

I have 3 questions for you :) Who's your GK-idol, and who do you think is the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment? (I'm a Buffon fan!) My last question: What gloves do you use? I use Puma V-Konstruck 2009, tried them? Thanks for answers, I wish to be like you! Keep up the good work! You have a unique talent!

[@BFactah]

@squashdudes Hi mate, out of all the gloves I've used the best for me have been reusch and uhlsport. You have to make sure that you take proper care of your gloves too. Using gloves that are specifically designed for wet conditions in hot weather and not keeping them moist will cause them to wear out much faster than if you used them in the conditions they're designed for.

[@BFactah]

My Goalkeeping idol was Peter Schmeichel or Oliver Kahn. At the moment I think there are many good keepers out there and to single one out is hard. I love to watch Shay Given and Brad Friedel in the Premier League and I like Rene Adler and Robert Enke in the Bundesliga.

[@BFactah]

Make sure your landing technique is good first. Make sure you are using the correct foot to power step with. As I said to the above person start on your knees and work up to starting on your feet. Once you have that mastered you can focus on getting real height.

[@squashdudes]

any recommendations for gloves that have really good grip/latex?? all the pairs that ive had have become virtually useless in terms of grip in around two months

[@BFactah]

Start off on your knees to your left side and learn to land properly from your knees. Then work your way to starting on your feet and just drop to the ground and don't jump. After you've mastered those landings you are ready to power step.

[@BFactah]

How is it down there now? I'm in germany at the moment and I've been wondering how the local football is going.

[@mikegpsoccer3333]

You have no room to call this keeper training childish. Like he said it all the basic. I have seen many keeper that just want to make the fancy save and let up goal when they could have done the basic's and saved every shoot, -Mike

[@djcandle3863]

The form is ok, but the landing his landings are rough. The entire body shouldn't be landing as a whole unit. Rather, the arms should extend first, and then down, to allow the body to cradle into a smooth landing. The coach here is right. This all start with the amount of explosion you dive with. The more explosion, the better the landing. Good work.

[@ochoadabest360]

@BFactah or instead of choosing a side, go to the ball. u might get hurt but its better than choosing a side.

[@noname098098]

We always do this kind of training in my club ...

[@FernanGk]

question, when i dive, im constantly harming my elbows, so can u teach me how to dive in a safer way? i would really appreciate it! THANKS :D

[@simpleindy12]

do you have 2 play 4 croydon to get that training,and is there a certain age 4 it

[@KHgoalkeeper21]

wat u can do is do stutter steps on ur toes. this helps ur leg muscles and many other things... such as balance umm anticipating get a concrete wall dat has grass like right in front of it. kick the ball as hard as u can and save it. if u need any more helpe just ask me =)

[@fly4life13]

hey i think the best training is to practise as much as you can on your left side

[@oscar131933]

i really need help diving to the right side can you help me and when defenders are in front of me and reacting to the ball can you help me or give me some tips and low shots. pleas reply

[@simpleindy12]

few questions.. is this only 4 croyden players? how old do you have 2 be? and how much is it?

[@SlasseurGK]

@MiQQie It's purpose is to develop muscle memory and explosiveness.

[@oscar131933]

ok so what your saying i need to start on my knees and then master it and then start diving with my right hand and pleas i realy neeed cause im in the final with my team and i want to get good

[@simpleindy12]

hey man..were in s.a is that?

[@oscar131933]

ok so i need the proper feet work so i can dive right its not my hand is i get stuck when i want to jump can you send me a video on how you teach on jumping

[@hghxghdf]

[@BFactah]

Haha gut. Für welche Verein spielst du?

[@BFactah]

Do you mean the gk training?

[@3rudymora]

good job man but id say the intensity if pretty low in my opinion

[@gdgiova]

good boy...what's your trainer name?

[@oscar131933]

how you power step pleas tell me

[@jesperboge]

I think it's a really cool video super good goalkeeper who is on. if you want here you can take a look past the link here where I work ..

[@BFactah]

Mmm since you're obviously the expert on goalkeeping.

[@BFactah]

No shot means to tell the defender that he should not allow a shot. No cross means to not allow a cross.

[@laznlSpeedDemon]

your criticism sucks, he's showing what he does for training, if he wanted to show you game performances, he'd just tell you to look up goalkeepers like casillas, buffon, schmeichel, van der sar, cech, etc.

[@mattiabolton]

what is his height?

[@smecarstvojezanat]

it depends of the shot but just try to use your arms more

[@simpleindy12]

yeh the gk training

[@BFactah]

Croydon

[@cnwy95]

i wanna be good as that....

[@screwpit52]

damn

[@BFactah]

Anthony Breaden

[@KHgoalkeeper21]

tru tru dat

[@BFactah]

The entire body isn't landing as a whole unit in this video. You can clearly see the landings are sequenced. You are telling people to land on their arms. That's not right. You can use the ball to cushion your fall. Landing on your arms first is asking for shoulder injuries.

[@D-Khalid]

@ochoadabest360 but you may be tricked once you commit to quickly.

[@BFactah]

1.8m

[@BFactah]

I cannot write about how to teach you to power step it is too difficult. You need to find a good coach to tell you how to do these things first. In the above video I do power step so that can be a rough guide but you really need a good coach to teach you properly.

[@DeathGimmick]

show pig

[@BFactah]

Goalkeeping is about repetition. You do the same stuff over and over. If you think basics are childish then I would suggest not ever training at everything because if you don't have the basics then you're going to be rubbish. There's a reason why people kick balls straight to Cech, Given and Van der Sar. Are you going to tell them their training is childish? Stop trying to show off on youtube and actually contribute something rather than being a douche.

[@LARGAS13]

ohh, com on ! Your training is childish !!!
