John Smith from Pro-1 Goalkeeping Academy just wanted to drop a quick note to highlight a few things about what’s been happening at the academy recently.
Based in Basildon, Essex, the academy focuses on helping goalkeepers develop their skills. Over the past 18 months, they’ve seen an impressive 61 goalkeepers move on to professional clubs.
John takes pride in the academy’s modern goalkeeping programme, which includes sports science and SaQ (Speed, Agility, and Quickness) training. This helps keep the goalkeepers ahead of their game, both in terms of technique and understanding.
The academy has also caught the eye of big names in the football world. Endorsements from the likes of Dave Beasant, an FA Cup winner and former England goalkeeper, and Ian Walker, who played for Tottenham Hotspur and England, really highlight the quality of coaching on offer.
There are multiple venues where training takes place, including the latest spot at Lakeside Sports Ground in Thurrock, along with other locations in Braintree and Bishops Stortford. They also run open trial days for goalkeepers aged 16-19 and offer tutorials on YouTube for those keen to pick up tips.
The academy’s affiliations and Hall of Fame sponsor give added credibility and showcase the achievements of the goalkeepers who train there. They also organise events and courses to further player development.
For more info, you can check out the Pro-1 Goalkeeping Academy website. It’s got all the details you need on services, coaches, training programmes, venues, and even a shop for goalkeeping gear.
John and the team at Pro-1 Goalkeeping Academy are dedicated to nurturing talent and providing top-notch coaching. If you’re an aspiring goalkeeper, this is definitely a place to consider.
