It’s a great little warm-up drill.

Ladders are great. For climbing up chimneys!! 🪜
Seriously though, we can take so many great cues and proven footwork drills from sports like tennis. 🎾
Try this for a minute. It’s absolutely brilliant. Works the feet and body in all different directions.

I’d say 90% of the photos on Sportsfile of Gaelic Keepers letting in goals has them SITTING as the shot flies in over their head. Gaelic’s NOT SOCCER, the ball is rarely kicked off the ground, it’s kicked from the hands! So stop copying soccer coaching and stand up! It works!

Thinking it’s a waste of time now posting tips videos etc to X/Twitter anymore. Don’t understand what’s happened, think the content is better than ever, and it’s all free, but nobody seems to be on here anymore. Maybe a WhatsApp group of interested people instead is way to go?

100%. I cannot even stand keepers falling to ground after catching a cross to buy time.
This is arguably the greatest and most embarrassing moment of last season.
Imagine doing this in the 91st minute with the scores 0-0 🤣😭
Games are not won by moments of brilliance, they are lost following mistakes with the BASICS. 😫
I want every Gaelic Goalkeeper to do this “Bread & Butter” drill at training this week and tell me how you get on.
Just 45 seconds of doing the very BASICS without any MISTAKE. 🍞🧈

Well put Richie.
Similar to a ladies County game down the country I was involved with this year. They were made play on an Astro pitch surrounded by 3 lovely empty cut and lined grass pitches.
The ladies get the crumbs for sure. But let’s keep giving time & driving for better.

Great insights from Conor Carroll into questions we constantly get. How important is the gym for keepers and what kind of exercises are key?
🏋️ Squats — leg strength
🦵 Hip flexor mobility (couch stretch) — range of motion
➡️ Lunges — single leg power

Offering my services as a peace negotiator. Think both sides could come together over their mutual agreement never to like or share anything I’ve ever posted for keepers! 😂
A real hero right there. 👏👏👏
Professional racing driver Ollie Millroy thanks competitor Loek Hartog for saving his life after getting into a fiery crash over the weekend in China.
Millroy says he'd be dead if Hartog hadn't jumped out of his car to pull him out of his burning car.
"I am still alive tonight, entirely thanks to one man. Loek Hartog stopped instantly with no flag marshalls or fire crews in sight, and risked his own life to get me out of the car."
"I don’t remember anything between 30 seconds before the crash and 1 hour after it, but I will remember his incredible act of bravery for the rest of my life..."
"I’m laying here tonight with 5 broken ribs, broken collar bone, broken hand and finger and a bruised lung, but it could have been much worse."
"Thank you Loek. I owe you my life for your selfless act today."

I just had one of the toughest and greatest adventures of my life. Running 170km in 6 days around Mont Blanc. ⛰️

Ladies GK. Lead foot diving. I always promote staying on your feet where possible. But if you have to dive it must be to really reach something. This little reset drill repeats and engrains the feeling of pushing off your lead leg in the dive to really cover the goal. 👍

Ladies GK Week.
Footwork. No need for ladders or fancy equipment. Ball hop once, give back. 1 min x 5 and watch how much stronger your keepers footwork will build over the weeks. If it works for Carlos Alcaraz…👍

100% agree. Don’t introduce a 3 handpass limit. There’s nothing as awesome as a team cutting through a defence with handpasses.
It often also creates goal choices. It’s another thing for a ref to try to keep track of.
Drip feed the changes lads, don’t be getting carried away!😂

🚨3 Handpass Limit ❌
🔴This is seriously flawed logic and will damage the game
1.A hard count of 3 will not gain better kicking it will teach counting.
2.The behaviours that emerge will be rushed decisions and compliance kicking.
