    About this ebook

    In 50 More Goalkeeper Training Exercises, goalkeeping coach Andy Elleray follows up his previous book – 65 Goalkeeper Training Exercises – to provide fellow football coaches with a wide variety of new practices that cover many aspects of goalkeeping. Practices are aimed at developing holistically-comfortable and effective goalkeepers who fit into different coaching philosophies and approaches. The practices are designed for working on the specific skills that goalkeepers need within the game.

    The goalkeeper training exercises in the book focus on five main viewpoints – technical, tactical, psychological, physical, and social/environmental. Each practice is weighted to develop these elements to greater and lesser degrees, and exercises include 1v1 techniques, decision making, shot stopping from different angles/distances, travelling around the goalmouth, re-positioning, cutback scenarios, and more.

    All the listed practices are real-world and have been used at a variety of levels within football to enhance goalkeeper development of all ages. They can all be adapted based on the numbers of players and resources available to the coach, while fundamental factors such as time and space allow the coach to be creative with how the exercises are implemented. The book’s introduction and glossary sections outline how to go about applying the exercises and offer suggestions based on goalkeeping themes and the learning detail required within them.

    50 More Goalkeeper Training Exercises is a must-have addition to every coach’s bookshelf.

    Andy Elleray is the author of the previously published titles: Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football and 65 Goalkeeper Training Exercises

      About the Author

      Andy Elleray has been working in the goalkeeping world since the age of 14 and playing in goal since the age of seven. Over the years, his goalkeeping passion has seen him represent England’s Blind Football team playing as the sighted goalkeeper as well as working at such clubs as Liverpool and Chelsea in a goalkeeping capacity. He has studied coaching and performance analysis for many years and has a Master’s degree in Sports Coaching along with high level FA and UEFA qualifications.

      Andy released his first book – Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football – in March 2013 and it aimed to invoke innovative thinking behind the position and investigate areas such as psychology, biomechanics, performance analysis and practice strictures amongst others. With selected exercises taken from his first book, 65 Goalkeeper Training Exercises was published in 2017 and promotes different games within a goalkeeping environment in a quick and easy format.

      Over the past five years, Andy has been working in Women’s football as Head of Goalkeeping Development at Birmingham City Ladies alongside the women’s international age group teams and the regional excellence pathway – while also holding a position as academy goalkeeping coach at the boy’s side of the club.

      Cancer Research

      The author royalties from this book will go to Cancer Research.

      Cancer Research UK is a cancer research and awareness charity in the United Kingdom formed, in 2002, by the merger of The Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. Its aim is to reduce the number of deaths from cancer. As the world's largest independent cancer research charity, it conducts research into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease.

      Over recent months, I’ve experienced the effects of cancer first-hand as our first team goalkeeper at Birmingham City Ladies was diagnosed, treated, and is now undergoing rehabilitation.

      The resolve and strength she has shown through this process has been inspiring and she is an amazing role model not just for young girls in football but for cancer sufferers and people supporting cancer sufferers everywhere.

      Hopefully the royalties from this book will go a small way towards helping the charity to continue researching and supporting families going through their own individual battles.

      Introduction

      Nearly five years on from my first book, the position of the goalkeeper has continued to grow into a fundamentally important position within a football team. There are more young players taking up the position than ever before, more ‘goalkeeping schools’ than ever before, and much more match analysis on television than ever before.

      The general consensus throughout the football world is that the goalkeeper is now seen as the 11th player and not just an isolated position.

      The overall aim of the book is to supply the coach or the player with a selection of practices and exercises they can use at any time. The exercises can be browsed through when designing sessions, or even deployed straight onto the training pitch.

      I must stress, at this point, that the aim of these practices is not to tell you ‘how’ to develop the goalkeepers you’re working with. Every club whether it is professional or amateur, youth academy or grassroots, England or Spain, approaches the position differently; ultimately, the book provides an opportunity to share practices that have been used at all levels of the sport in order for goalkeepers to develop the tools required to excel.

      Each club/environment will have their own philosophy and fundamental ways of working whilst developing goalkeepers. The practices in this book will set the environment to work on different goalkeeping attributes whilst providing suggestions on areas that can be focussed upon within each practice.

      The practices can be adapted as the reader sees fit in terms of dimensions, ball positioning, and the number of players/servers. Within the practices there will be a few key elements that look to build some realistic scenarios and situations where possible – these are as follows:

      Using a moving ball for shot-stopping practices.

      Varied shot positioning to create different angles and problems to solve – this includes working both sides of the goal when the diagram shows a specific side.

      If a ball is secured, having distribution option for the GK (sometimes mentioned in the practice descriptions).

      Rebounders to act as strikers to pounce upon loose balls.

      Vision blockers (human or mannequin) to create a sense of a crowded penalty box or situations where players are looking to close down the ball.

      Usually, one GK is shown in some practices – there can be two
