Courage, confidence, leadership, consistency and sometimes even crazy. These are all are words used to describe a soccer goalkeeper. This is without a doubt one of the most demanding and mentally challenging positions in all of sports.

Saving goals- from shot stopping to dealing with crosses, distribution to organizing the defense. The responsibilities of the goalkeeper extend far beyond just standing between the posts. To be effective, they must participate in the prevention of the development of goal scoring chances inside and outside of the penalty area. Having to be mentally and tactically involved during the entire game no matter what the involvement.

At the No.1 Goalkeeper Camp, goalkeepers will learn not only the technical skills needed to be successful but also tactical knowledge learned from playing in the goal in game like situations. All under the guidance of a goalkeeper coach, with the emphases on coaching the player from in the goal and not from the sideline.

A goalkeeper camp without the ability to create realistic game situations involving real strikers can produce practice goalkeepers. They may be able to put on a show, but could buckle when confronted with decision making during a live game. The ability to make the proper decision, then apply the tactical knowledge along with automatic technical ability means the difference between success and picking the ball out of the back of the net.

That is why the No.1 Goalkeeper Camp has no equal. Each camp lesson finishes with game like situations combining the strikers and goalkeepers. Using small sided games in front of full size goals keeps the goalkeeper involved the entire time. Forcing them to make decision after decision in quick succession. Constantly having to make adjustments not only for themselves but for the players in front of them as well.

No. 1 Goalkeepers are encouraged to experiment in practice to increase their range and test their limits. Goalkeepers who know their strengths and weaknesses will not foolishly place their team at risk, and will become consistent, safe and dependable. What more can you ask? At the No. 1 Goalkeeper Camp each goalkeeper is faced with thousands of decisions and hundresd of shots. Each learns how to take pleasure in the most difficult practices, how to concentrate in the loneliness of the position and most of all, how to become a success at the most demanding position in team sport.
