EDUARDO MARIA D.

I have extensive experience coaching goalkeepers, with a background that includes a variety of coaching roles at different levels. I am the Director of Goalkeeping and Goalkeeper Coach at Global Football Innovation in Houston and also serve as the Head of Soccer at Camp Laurel in Maine. Additionally, I have coached at the USL Academy, where I implemented a mixed style of goalkeeping training, adapting techniques to each player's natural talents and predispositions.

I typically work with athletes across various age groups, focusing on goalkeepers of all ages. My coaching style is highly personalized, where I design specific training programs, including fitness plans tailored to goalkeepers' needs.

Regarding certifications, I hold both an Italian degree in Sport Science and a Master's in Nutrition. These academic qualifications enhance my ability to coach not only from a technical soccer perspective but also from a holistic, performance-focused standpoint.

In a typical session, I assess the goalkeeper's strengths and needs, focusing on footwork, reaction speed, handling, and game scenarios. I mix drills like diving, 1v1s, and crosses with agility and strength work to improve technical skills and decision-making. Sessions start with a warm-up, then drills to target specific areas, finishing with a game-realistic situation. I adapt to the player's level, pushing them to grow while ensuring steady progress.
