What Is YOUR TOP 3 Goalkeeper Attributes ?

Over my 40 plus years as a goalkeeper and coach running Just4keepers across the globe for the past two decades and meeting tens of thousands of people, I am still amazed how many people who have NEVER played in goal, think they are experts in goalkeeping.

I think any goalkeeper or goalkeeper coach will agree, you can never truly understand goalkeeping unless you have played in goal yourself, whether grassroots, amateur or professionally.

George has attended J4K sessions in Nottingham with Scott Foy for the past 3 years. We cannot recommend Scott enough, he works tirelessly with George and he has made huge progression within this time. George will only ever wear J4K gloves and has many pairs in his collection. After trial and error we discovered he was best suited to a negative fit. George also loves all the J4K goalkeeping attire which is great quality and always washes well. #J4K www.j4ksports.co.uk

What an amazing picture from young Welly who won one of the kit givaways last week... really makes our day when we have brought a smile to a young keepers face like this. ❤️

And like most keepers/parents have stated, at a time of year when companies are looking at ways to abstract money out of keepers/parents pockets, J4K is the opposite and giving away hundreds of pounds worth of goalkeeper gear trying to help the gk community. J4K-PROUD TO BE DIFFERENT!

This is why we do what we do at J4K!!! While other companies have gameplans to make money from the goalkeeping community, our gameplan is to try and help out when and where we can. And getting emails like this, make all our efforts so much worth it: J4K- PROUD TO BE DIFFERENT!

Hi Paula,

Please find attached a photo of myself with our kit winner. This photo was from Wednesday nights training that we used as our presentation evening as we haven't been able to have ours from last season due to lockdown and getting things organised for the current one.

At Bishop Auckland Girls FC we have a great group of goalkeeper's at our club, from aged 6 yo 14 who are all eager to learn and a pleasure to coach. To make it fair the easiest way to decide who got the kit I won from you was to put all their names in a hat and draw a winner.

Our lucky winner was our u12's keeper Olivia who has made a lot of progress so far this season. In her last game before lockdown 2.0 she got a clean sheet and at our presentation night won an award for 'Best Attitude' in her team, definitely a great trait for a goalkeeper.

She was extremely grateful for winning her prize from Just4keepers and is eager to wear it with pride once grassroots football can get going again.

Regards,

Michael

LOVE GETTING MESSAGES LIKE THIS - Shows we are doing the right thing for the goalkeeping community!

Hi Paula

Sorry it’s taken me so long to contact you again with pics , been a busy time. I have attached a few pics of Frankie with his new gloves on , which he wore for his first game of the season, he managed to keep a clean sheet with his team winning 4-0.

He loves the gloves and comments how comfortable they are , with great grip which has increased his confidence and has definitely made a difference to his goalkeeping skills.

Looking forward to ordering in the future

Kind regards

NEW PADDED GOALKEEPER GEAR!

One of the most important things for goalkeepers, is you still MUST get padded up when you train and or play in a game. Or if you are a PARENT of a goalkeeper, you must make sure your goalkeeping child is wearing the correct gk gear......

Sadly what most keepers do is copy the gk gear what that their favourite professional goalkeeper wears. But guys, YOU CANNOT do this because for the most part, the playing surface most grassroots goalkeepers have to play on, is NOT like what a pro keeper plays on. A pro keeper for the most part will be playing on a carpet of a soft field, that is watered…

But guys, answer this question, are local/council fields the same playing surface as a professional field ? I REST MY CASE.

Actually guys, out of interest, how good is your local/council field?

This is why I cringe when I see young goalkeepers playing in short sleeve goalkeeper jerseys on local fields without any grass!

To find out more why I think it is soooooooooo important to get padded up, goto https://j4ksports.co.uk/free-advise-for-gk-parent and see video 6 on the list.
