Dealing with GoalKeepers in Youth Soccer - Part 1

Описание: Hello fellow soccer coaches!

In this first of 2 videos, I tackle the issue of finding and managing goalkeepers in youth soccer.

Part 2:    • Dealing with GoalKeepers in Youth Soccer -...  

Young players have so much to learn in the field - finding keepers willing to step between the posts AND maintaining their field development can be a real challenge.

This video outlines an approach to finding volunteers, managing their development, and setting reasonable expectations for EVERYONE as to what you can reasonably expect out of youth keepers in the town travel/rec program level.

At the end I share a personal story about a player's journey that highlights the need to maintain high standards on the development of field skills, even for a player who shows tremendous skill in the keeper position at an early (and even middle) age.

https://amzn.to/4hGf1BP The Coach’sGuide to Teaching:
What great classroom teachers do is relevant to coaches in profound ways. After all, coaches are at their core teachers. Lemov knows that coaches face many of the same challenges found in the classroom, so the science of learning applies equally to them.

https://amzn.to/3EvW332 Football's Principles of Play - We all know the standard principles of soccer (right?!) - this book looks at those, and then multiple other ways to break down the game, with good example sessions to drills to illustrate the points.
