How can The Holder Goalkeeping School Help?
After playing 15 years of professional soccer and 23 years of coaching, the environment created by Thorne Holder at THGS will provide goalkeepers an opportunity to develop the appropriate mindset and habits of a great athlete, a great goalkeeper, and a great person in the world.
Why is Goalkeeping School important?
Safety
Shots are dangerous! All the players in the game are heading towards you and they want to hit the ball as hard as they can on target. Fingers, shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles, noses and faces are all at risk. (But its like driving, once you learn to drive, its pretty safe)
Self Esteem &
Confidence
Being in goal and not knowing what to do sucks! It makes all kids lose confidence. Being a Goalkeeper armed with skills, techniques, and training helps a player feel confident on game day. A sense of belonging occurs when keepers make plays to help the team win. This gives a child assurance in the game and in daily life at home and school.
Results
Teams work on drills, plays, and patterns, refining techniques to make winning plays. Goalkeepers need to be working twice as hard as one mistake can lose a game. A Goalkeeper's technique needs to be clean and their disposition confident. The Holder Goalkeeping School provides an opportunity to make keeper friends and making great friends means everyday is a win.
