that greatly assist comprehension. Clubs often do not have
the fi nancial resources to hire a goalkeeping coach. For

relevance of individually targeted work.
How do the book and DVDs work together?
The three DVDs demonstrate relatively “traditional”
approaches to developing goalkeepers’ technical qualities
and physical capacities. There is a wide choice of training
exercises, even for the youngest players, that present tasks
ranging from the simple to the complex. These exercises can be
combined and modifi ed.
The book serves as a guide and user’s manual to allow optimal
use of the materials provided. At the start of each chapter
(physical preparation) there is a brief explanation of the issues
dealt with, including defi nitions, explanatory notes and general
application for the players. The concepts have been analysed
from the goalkeeper’s point of view such that they are of
practical assistance to the goalkeeper’s training.
Thus it is essential to work using both the DVDs and the book.
