Develop better reflexes. Make better decisions. Become more confident in goal.

 

Goalkeeper is one of the most demanding positions in football.

In addition to technical skills, goalkeepers need to develop reaction speed, explosiveness, coordination, positioning, decision-making and communication.

Individual goalkeeper training allows us to focus specifically on what each goalkeeper needs most.

 

At PROGYM, training is adapted to the goalkeeper's age, experience, ability level and individual needs.

 

WHO IS THE PROGRAM FOR?

 

Individual goalkeeper training is designed for young and adult goalkeepers who want to:

• improve goalkeeper technique
• improve reactions and reflexes
• develop speed and explosiveness
• improve footwork
• improve ball distribution
• develop better positioning
• improve decision-making
• build confidence
• get additional training outside their team sessions
• prepare for a new season, trials or competition

 

The program can be adapted to beginners, young goalkeepers and more experienced players.

 

WHAT DO WE DEVELOP?

 

GOALKEEPING TECHNIQUE

We work on the fundamental and advanced elements of goalkeeper technique:

• basic stance and footwork
• catching technique
• shot stopping
• diving and getting to the ground
• saves from different situations
• reactions to close-range shots and changes in ball direction
• crosses and high balls
• 1-on-1 situations

 

DISTRIBUTION & PLAYING WITH THE FEET

Modern goalkeepers need to be confident and effective with the ball at their feet.

We work on:

• first touch
• passing
• ball distribution
• short and long passing
• decision-making under pressure
• contributing to build-up play

 

TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING

Goalkeepers need to know where to be and when to react.

We develop:

• positioning
• reading the game
• anticipation
• decision-making
• positioning during set pieces
• dealing with through balls
• transition from defence to attack

 

SPEED & REACTIONS

We develop physical qualities that are essential for goalkeeper performance:

• reaction speed
• explosiveness
• agility
• hand-eye coordination
• balance
• change of direction
• peripheral awareness

 

STRENGTH & EXPLOSIVENESS

Goalkeepers need specific levels of strength and explosiveness.

The focus is on:

• lower-body strength
• explosive power
• stability
• unilateral strength
• rapid force production
• safe and efficient movement

 

THE MENTAL SIDE OF GOALKEEPING

A goalkeeper needs to be ready to react even after making a mistake.

 

That's why we develop:

 

CONCENTRATION • CONFIDENCE • COMMUNICATION • COMPOSURE • ANTICIPATION • DECISION-MAKING

 

The goal is to help goalkeepers become more confident in their reactions and more prepared to take responsibility on the pitch.

 

TRAINING ADAPTED TO THE GOALKEEPER

 

Not every goalkeeper needs the same training.

The program is adapted to:

• age
• experience
• current ability level
• role within the team
• individual goals
• team training demands
• areas that need further development

 

ASSESSMENT → PLAN → TRAINING → PROGRESSION → IMPROVEMENT

 

As the goalkeeper improves, the demands of the training increase.

 

A COMPLEMENT TO TEAM TRAINING

 

Individual goalkeeper training is not a replacement for team training.

Its purpose is to provide additional time to develop goalkeeper-specific skills and allow for more quality repetitions.

 

MORE INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION.
MORE QUALITY REPETITIONS.
TARGETED WORK ON WEAKNESSES.
CONTROLLED PROGRESSION.

EXPERIENCE BEHIND THE GOAL.

 

The program is led by Adrian Bečić, Master of Kinesiology, certified personal trainer, conditioning specialist and former professional goalkeeper with playing experience in Croatia and Canada.

His experience as a player and goalkeeper is combined with professional knowledge in kinesiology and sports conditioning.

The goal is to provide young goalkeepers with a professional, positive and motivating environment where they can develop their abilities and enjoy the goalkeeper position and the game of football.
