Looking for a #goalkeeper exercise for multiple Gk’s & limited equipment? ⚽️ Watch this excellent set up from ex @ManUtd #gkcoach Eric Steele 🧤 One of our members showed us their 20 progressions of this exercise 😁 What other progressions could you do5J

Lots of nice exercises that I’m sure our outfield players will also enjoy having a go at!

📖 Topic of the week

What is it like to coach in a top club, from the Under-9 all the way up to the 1st team? This nice interview of Rene Meulensteen sheds some light on this, including top tips on how to talk to players, having your own football philosophy, and more. Well worth a read!

💡 Idea of the week

A list of pretty insightful questions to ask yourself, after each training session. Nice stuff

Matt Jones @Matt_Jones7

Just a few of the many questions that can run through a coach’s mind as they walk, and then drive, away from the session...

I hope you enjoyed this. Have a great week!
