A super bit of Kickouts advice from Rory Beggan for every young keeper starting out.
In training don’t kickout, kick in!!
It’ll help you improve massively.

Falling out the side of kickouts leaks power. Try the walk-through drill:
1️⃣ Strike through the navicular bone (below big toe)
2️⃣ Let kicking leg momentum push you forward into a walk
Traveling through is ok: good transfer of power. Even a 5% gain in consistency is worth it.
Would love to see the stats but I counted at least 4 Jordan Pickford short kickouts/restart 2nd touches that led directly to Croatia attacks. Why do England persist with the back passing short to Pickford on kickouts? I think it’ll come back to haunt them later in the WC.
The best bit of kickout advice I could give any keeper.
⚡ Quicker kickouts
🎯 Better disguise
🧩 More short options open up
🚫 Better ability to beat the press
Take your time to get good at this — and you’ll see the difference it makes in games. Best of luck. 🤞
It’s great to see more Ladies Gaelic Goalkeepers now kicking off the tee as well as from the hands. Adds a new dimension and structure to kickouts.
A few simple progressions here to introduce kicking by “feeling” contact trajectory and power in as natural as way as possible.👍
Good win with minimal prep for Edendork. Clonduff simply couldn’t get any consistent possession off their own kickouts and it’s near impossible to compete with that. Fair play to them to stick in even withstanding that.
It’s not possible but I’d love a new rule in Gaelic coverage where they can’t cut away to a manager shot instead of showing a kickout.
Considering how important kickouts are now I do not want to see a pacing stressed out guy with airpods instead of them thanks very much.
Here’s a super kickout drill -If you have a helper or in a keeper session. 🥅
