James L.

I have coached at the high school level for 2 years now primarily with goalkeepers, some of whom have gone on to play in college as well. From ages as young as 7 to those who are in college currently, I have developed keepers ranging from those new to the game altogether to those changing positions to those who have been consistent for years prior. I am a USSF Licensed coach and am constantly learning and staying up to date with new drills and training methods through continued education courses.

I have played at the collegiate club level as a goalkeeper and have had the pleasure of meeting and training with some of the best players in the US. I have had the pleasure of attending countless ID camps and talking with many coaches at the college and pro level about what they look for in keepers, something that influences my coaching to this day.

A typical training session starts with a short warm up and stretch focused on goalkeeper specific movements before moving into a session specific combination of either saves, claims, positioning, distribution, IQ/decision making, or reflexes.
