Goalkeeper Training Session: Recovery Diving

The video features a training session focused on recovery diving. The original session was led by George Kostelis during an NSCAA National Goalkeeping Diploma Coaching Course.

This session was one of the more memorable of the Level III course. The video quality isn't outstanding, but is pretty good considering it is from a hand-help Flip camera.

You can get a good idea of the positive intensity that George Kostelis brings to training. Using one of his favorite terms... it's "Magic". Somebody needs to hire this guy on to their college or professional staff while he's still available.




Warm-up:
Phase 1 - One bounce catch
Phase 2 - No bounce catch
Phase 3 - No bounce catch x 6
Phase 4 - One bounce collapse dive
Phase 5 - Collapse dive recovery
Phase 6 - Collapse dive same-side recovery

Exercise 1:
Phase 1 - Foot Service - Volley to Chest
Phase 2 - Foot Service - Ground to Side
Phase 3 - Recovery Footwork
Phase 4 - Accelerated Recovery From Near Post

Exercise 2:
Phase 1 - 1v1 Collect & Shoot
Phase 2 - Collect & Shoot Competition

Restricted Game: Small Field 4v4 + GKs

Special thanks to George Kostelis, Instructor; NSCAA Coaches & Willing Participants. Filmed on a Flip Video Camera.

  1. Thanks for putting this up Jeremiah!

    I was also at this course, and the videos definately help "jog the memory" from my chicken scratch notes!

    Let me know if you are going to put anymore of these up, or if you would be willing to send me some of the videos for future reference.

    Like the blog too, keep up the good work!
