Keep going, Conor! Your time will come!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Fernando!

[@devonhudson3461]

It happens to every keeper at some point. Very brave for sharing as it’s not spoken about enough. This season has been one of my toughest because of this.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Devon, important to share it within the Union! Can help each other with it!

[@leokaraj]

It's a pleasure to be crowned as the first mini-league champion,and i want to thank you Conor for giving this opportunity ahead!🤗 I also hope you bounce back after the recent tough times you've had,you deserve more!👊🏻

[@ConorOKeefe]

Congratulations Leo!

[@dajjy]

Good! This is the real content. Glad you addressed it. It's important to recognise when things aren't going well, with a plan to address. Fingers crossed for when you get your next opportunity.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Completely agree, thank you mate

[@ReubenKoha]

I'm from New Zealand 🇳🇿, football here isn't as big as I would like it to be but I love it. Being a keeper is the hardest job in the sports world, on the pitch and especially on the bench. I've watched you since day one. You will always be the #1 in my eyes, keep this channel and football going. Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Reuben, really appreciate that mate! We always keep moving forward!

[@buggyman95]

Great content mate keep your head up, the way I see it is it's better to have competition for places to drive us to improve than having an automatic place and falling into bad habits, this will make you a better player in the long run I know it, just keep performing at the level you know you are capable of and the games will come

[@ConorOKeefe]

Cheers Joe, really appreciate that, you're right

[@buggyman95]

@@ConorOKeefe as you said in the video we've all been in this position before the important thing is how you react and learn from it, no point getting down just see it as a new challenge that needs to be overcome

[@John-v8g6y]

Conor Keep your spirits up you know your good enough as you proved over the last couple of seasons, no doubt you will be back in the team soon great vlog again Conor.

[@curro37]

No worries conn you're the best keep it up.Let's go 🧤🧤🧤🥊🥊,Us goalkeepers struggle sometimes but we got to keep the good work and work harder.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate!

[@pierfrancescocosta6336]

If I remember well, I think I've managed to watch on TV one of the last games ever played at Råsunda when I was still a child! The stadium was demolished in order to make space for AIK's current stadium, the Friends Arena (which evokes terrible memories for my beloved Italy, by the way... 😅😂). I don't doubt that it was tough to say goodbye to such a history-making stadium, but I'm happy to see they're keeping remembering it!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Yes I bet it was! I never saw it, but the photos of it look very cool!

[@alexcoumailleau419]

We've all been there and we can all say that it's even harder when your team is winning but you're not playing as you feel like you will never get your spot back... But it's a long season and anything can happen, keep griding at training and outside at the gym, keep that positive mindset. No doubt you'll get your spot back bro!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Alex, appreciate that mate!

[@KWedelJarlsberg]

You’ll bounce back, as always 👊

[@ConorOKeefe]

I have a vid that should help explain (just search glove wash on the channel), but I wash them in the shower, and use a nail rush (lightly) to help to clean them. I then squeeze them out, and hang them up in a cool place (away from sunlight) to dry

[@aelfie_smith]

Great vid con! I love your mentality man, keep on going

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate!!

[@saved9362]

Yeah it's hard , I've been back and forth from my 1st team and reserves and it's frustrating. But you are always helpful and have great strategies on coping

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate!

[@matejdavkov422]

Nice video cant wait to see you in the starting lineup!keep on smashing it mate!!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Matej!

[@dimitrismarako]

It's difficult when you're on the bench. And it's even worse for people who aren't professionals... Prove them wrong Con! ❤

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate!

[@wayneflint6836]

Great video Connor team climbing the table steadily keep up the good work

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Wayne! Hope you're well

[@idirisivic6838]

Keep going brother I will learn many things from somalia east Africa imagine you are teacher many goalkeepers teaches many things we say thank you andgoods days will come inshallah never give up brother🎉❤

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you my friend!

[@hampusahlbom7472]

Great video Con! Feels very cool to see videos from your training sessions with Mahodi. He was a goalkeeper coach in my team two years ago. But good luck for the rest of the season!

[@ConorOKeefe]

Ah amazing! Thanks Hampus

[@newboy1519]

Finally😭❤️ (Wanna see you on the pitch)

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate!

[@linusgreve343]

I only got to play one game last season, and it was sooo frustating because it actually cost us the season championship, that i didnt play. Buuuut i was patient, and this season was i the player with the most caps and we came a long way in the danish u19 national cup, beating some of the best youth teams, with me saving us in the penalty shootout. So dont worry mate, your time will come❤❤

[@ConorOKeefe]

Well done Linus! Keep up the great work mate. Thank you

[@lucasgluplayz9904]

Love the content I finally watched your videos again I watched all of them last night after a 3-0 win becuase I finally had time love th content sad to see your not playing every game

[@ConorOKeefe]

Well done on the win mate!!

[@jig4r-775]

Finally I got time to watch your video's 😌

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks for coming back to us mate!

[@jig4r-775]

​@@ConorOKeefe you're welcome mate😊

[@mattjones4933]

Love the extra detail in the training session. It really helps us from an understanding of why you do what you do perspective but also helps me as a coach when I ‘ahem’ borrow the drills. I know others have said it and you know it but we’d love to see you back playing in the UK.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Matt! Really glad you find it helpful! And yes, would love to play back home!

[@manuelgk222]

Hi Con! It's great to know the team won a get very good point away and you came back after the introspection process you had. Just a question (when not? 😅) about the highlights of the games I see that you put less of them, is it for the TV rights? Regards from Mexico

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks Manuel! No, not a problem with that!

[@chuckborns818]

Thanks mate love your videos. We all are number two at some point it's how we react matters the most. Your mentality sets a very good example for every young goalkeeper. Also can you analyse one of my performances if I share it to you through Google drive?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate!! I offer some Skype calls on the website if you'd like to go through highlights!

[@WilsonsWanderings]

Hi Connor, great vid and really informative training breakdown! Quick question: how would you suggest a GK training alone could practice catching crosses? I do have a rebounder, but it’s not great/I don’t know that I could accurately hit it at a distance consistently; any advice would be appreciated. Keep up the good work chasing improvement! 👍🏻

[@WilsonsWanderings]

Also, a great idea if Frankie’s going exploring, if she got any phone footage of where she went would be great to see somewhere in the vid! Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs, just a suggestion. 👍🏻😜

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thanks mate! In the Solo Goalkeeper Training vid, I used a wall for practicing crosses alone - throwing it against the wall to try and get a similar trajectory! I found that more effective than using the rebounder! And Frankie would love that, we'll have to start bringing it in!

[@WilsonsWanderings]

@@ConorOKeefe Nice! 🤙🏻 I’ll give it a go! 👍🏻

[@KRBvlogs83]

The other goalie must be prime Buffon if he is getting played over you

[@labrador6499]

Hi Conor, recently I have noticed baker's cyst under my right knee and I'm wondering if I should take a rest for two weeks without trainings as my doctor said or I should decrease the number of trainings and intensity of them. What would you recommend me? Have you ever experienced this situation.

[@ConorOKeefe]

I would follow the medical advice, maybe speak to a physio too. Finding some rehab exercises to help improve it will be important!

[@Ash_4949]

Being a Goalkeeper is tough man. I thought you'll be at least in the second tier after winning the league. Tell your agent to try harder to get in the Championship club in England. With your experience and discipline, I guarantee they will be interested.

[@Bk-kx3fy]

He is faar away from the championship mate

[@Ash_4949]

@@Bk-kx3fy Conor lacks resources and competition which he will get in a big club. They can keep Conor as 3rd choice and train him for 4-5 months. Till he will be ready for the 2nd choice.

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you mate, we keep working!

[@coakleyharding]

Hi con I’m 14 and an aspiring goalkeeper who has been watching you since the beginning have you got any advice for me going into the future?

[@ConorOKeefe]

Thank you for watching! Keep watching & learning from older GKs, try and work on different parts of your game that you struggle with, and play games! It doesn't matter about the level, games are where you learn the most!

[@coakleyharding]

@@ConorOKeefe thanks con

[@lucaformichella1581]

hey con I have a question, i have a problem diving to my ledt, it is not as easy and comfy as my right side, how could i fix it? thanks in advance CON

[@ConorOKeefe]

Mainly through repetition mate! Build up from your knees, get used to the landing, and get as many reps as you can so that you make it second nature
