This Level 2 course provides an in-depth exploration of advanced goalkeeping techniques, starting with an overview of shot stopping methods and the critical role of reaction time in preventing goals. Learners will understand how to maintain composure and handle stressful match situations, including penalty scenarios, through psychological preparation and mental resilience.

Core technical skills such as positioning for shot stopping, diving for close and long-range attempts, and effective catching and parrying are covered extensively. The course emphasizes controlling rebounds and maintaining control in chaotic moments. To boost reaction speed, participants engage in specialized drills, visual tracking exercises, and reflex training using equipment like reaction balls, alongside cognitive strategies to sharpen focus and anticipation.

Handling pressure is further addressed through modules on commanding the defence, managing stress, and making crucial decisions during high-stakes moments. Physical fitness tailored for goalkeepers—including strength, flexibility, agility, and injury prevention—is integrated to enhance overall performance and longevity. Practical application sessions use match footage analysis, simulated pressure drills, and training on set pieces and crosses to prepare learners for real-game challenges.
