I just can't find it in myself to get enthusiastic about keeping.#-o

However, I've just met a guy who has been a keeper in NSW state league. He was a general team coach to some sort of feeder team to the Mariners (don't know the stem there).

One thing he is emphatic about, is that the Italian keeper training is world's best practice.

He has worked a lot with Zelco Kalac. Even though he endorses current FFA NC in field play, he says that the Italian keeper training is superior to anything else.

Our GK has decided not to play next season and I've been asked to step in. Only problem is, I've never played GK in my life! (Coach chose me because I'm the tallest at 6' 4").

I'm starting formal GK training in 2 weeks which should hopefully teach me all the basics. For someone like myself, with absolutely zero GK experience, what area of my game should I be focusing on first?




Chowden, there is some useful stuff from Barca keeper , Victor Valdes , in the new 442 Performance Section at the top of this page.
