Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football

Have you ever wanted to take up goalkeeping? Would you like to understand the position better? Do you want to support a goalkeeper on their football journey? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then this fantastic new publication from goalkeeping specialist Andy Elleray is for you. Like any sport, the basic foundations of any physical or technical action in goalkeeping are fundamental to performance. Without the basics, it's impossible to expand a player's game in terms of more advanced techniques. This book investigates the common types of saves, movements, and actions that the goalkeeper can - and is expected - to perform. Goalkeeping in football is made up of many techniques, both with and without the ball. In "Goalkeeping Basics", author Andy Elleray goes through a wide selection of common techniques and strips them right back to their fundamentals, what they look like, and how they can be properly learned and enhanced. Accompanied by photo examples, plus a series of practices designed to work specifically on certain saves and situations, this colour book will illustrate and consolidate the key aspects behind goalkeeping in football. About the Author. Andy Elleray is a goalkeeping specialist and holds the UEFA A Goalkeeping License, as well as the Advanced Youth Award Goalkeeping License. He is also the author of Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football (1st and 2nd editions), Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football: Age-Specific Goalkeeper Development, 101 Goalkeeper Training Practices, 65 Goalkeeper Training Exercises, and 50 More Goalkeeping Training Exercises. This is Andy's seventh goalkeeping book.

In this latest publication from goalkeeping specialist Andy Elleray, the goalkeeper’s position is looked at through an age-specific lens. Looking deeper than the traditional 4-corner approach, the book covers a variety of topics, such as: innovative player support, the latest in performance analysis platforms, age-appropriate training practices, and female player development. Numerous player case studies and 30 ready-to-run practices are also included in this full-colour book. Young people learn and develop in different ways and at varying rates – depending on factors such as age, genetics, and environment. This book seeks to provide useable blueprints for goalkeeping development, and the overall intention is to provide a meticulous and comprehensive guide to working with goalkeepers across different age groups and with differing levels of ability. All the methods of support and player development have been used not just at the highest level of youth international and professional football, but also with amateur and grassroots players. Andy Elleray is the author of: Scientific Approaches to Goalkeeping in Football (1st and 2nd editions), 101 Goalkeeper Training Practices, 65 Goalkeeper Training Exercises, and 50 More Goalkeeping Training Exercises.
