On the 4th of September I had to catch a flight to Gothenburg Sweden to watch and sign @abbeylielincoln an exciting, technical and dynamic midfielder who plays for the Swedish second division side @assyriska.bk. The photo was taken after they defeated the top of the league leaders @angelholmsff 2 - 0. What a win considering the team where on a mini run of bad results. I'm pleased to be working with this gentleman and I look forward to creating a successful and sustainable future #gkunion #football #entrepreneurship #postoftheday #the40percentrule #stayhard #comment #innovation #leadership #intermediary #playerdevelopment #footballmarket (at Assyriska Fotbollsgalan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE02hJKD4tY/?igshid=1gxelll9k107w

FIFA plans to introduce competency test for football agents/intermediaries in mid 2021, although there is much debate on what the competency test will entail and its relevancy. Already the governing body are taking measures to enforce a range of proposed regulations that will impact the way the industry operates. After reading "The Done Deal" by @footballlaw , its inevitable I had to get this complete football law book ( very pricey but definitely worth every cent ). To become a competent football intermediary one must fully understand the the law governing the game of football plus the intermediary competency test will be solely based on the content of this book. It's a big book, full of legislative jargon and it will be one hell of an experience grasping the contents but this highlights the amount of work required to become the best in my field of work. Bring it on! #gkcoaches #gkunion #goalkeeper #gkcoaches #moderndaygoalkeeper #goalkeepercoach #goalkeepertraining #stayhard #GKELITE #coachingtips #the40percentrule #playerdevelopment #intermediary #footballlaw #FIFA #postoftheday #comment (at Wood Green, Haringey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD3AH_Pj0QD/?igshid=1fzy2gtf1nmid

Core muscles is one of the most important part of the goalkeepers anatomy that is central to the development and transferring of power throughout the leg muscles and towards the upper body. It serves as an "engine room" that generates power that's why its imperative that conditioning the core to its optimal is key. There are different variations of core exercises and I is just one of them #gkunion #goalkeeper #gkcoaches #gkunion #goalkeepercoach #goalkeepertraining #stayhard #GKELITE #coachingtips #the40percentrule #playerdevelopment (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCiRsIsD64I/?igshid=1cz4y5fgxdd0o

This was a drill I set up pre-Lockdown to do with movement and footwork. You guys can excuse my form here as I actually couldn't keep up with it towards the latter stages (on the second round).. I mean I'm 46 years old and what do you expect? 😂.. Anyway, then main points to focus on is throughout the duration of the drill, the balls of your feet are constantly on the ground, the main point of contact, the heels of your feet barely touching the ground. This develops and programmes a habit of constantly adopting the "balls of feet" posture into the set-position at all times when under attack as opposed to the "flat feet" posture which seems to be a regular norm even with the professionals. The logic behind the balls of feet posture is to generate dynamic reflex actions in any given scenario when facing shots, crosses and movements into spaces. #gkcoaches #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #insta #innovation #leadership #postoftheday #the40percentrule #GKELITE #coachingtips #playerdevelopment #gktraining #goalkeepercoach #goalkeepertraining #stayhard (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCeO0zHjk7J/?igshid=1agn1hyvdstkt

On a weekly basis, I will share my with you parts of my life that inspires my drive to succeed as a contributor to society. Self education, is key and reading relevant books as one of many mediums of achieving greatness must be a major anchor at least on a fundamental level. This audiobook of a masterpiece from @davidgoggins explains his life as an underdog who mastered the skill of callousness of the mindset to face ANY form of adversity, OWN it and USE it to your advantage. Majority of the people in today's society will never experience their true potential because of the limitations of the belief systems we impose on ourselves, individually and collectively. Once I finished listening to the book I immediately started again from the beginning!.. this is how empowering his story is and also a lesson for anyone who strives in becoming more in life, because at the end of the day, life is bigger that the Self. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is intrigued by having a strong mindset to become successful in life. #gkcoaches #gkunion #the40percentrule #stayhard #mindset #fitness #wellbeing #businessminded #CantHurtMe #keepgrinding #10Xrule #hashtags # (at Wood Green, Haringey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCF8nA6DpMW/?igshid=1i3jsqj2mojjj

MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION As humans, and for every living thing on earth, we are ever evolving physically and spiritually. Keeping in tune with the body and spirit aids us in growth and development and there's no exception. One is either moving forward in life or regressing. As a goalkeeping coach and mentor, the importance for understanding the human psychology is paramount and should not be neglected in the syllabus of the fundamentals of goalkeeping development. I have understood this concept by constantly seeking ways of accentuating the pursuit of self development and one of these mediums can be achieved through the practice of #yoga, which is physical, mental and spiritual discipline that helps in improving flexibility and joints mobility, improving muscle strength, encourages healthy lymph drainage that helps boost the immune system. When all these systems are I optimal condition, one has the ability to create intense energy and focus on set goals and they become more attainable in a shorter period of time. I will be touching on this subject a lot more in the future and explain the correlation between having a strong physical and mental condition for a goalkeeper and #yoga #gkcoaches #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #insta #innovation #leadership #postoftheday #the40percentrule #GKELITE (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8w7U_j0UW/?igshid=1chblxlagri48

Gyms across the nation are due to open soon and it's important that #goalkeepers add the gym sessions into their schedules. The main reason for hitting the gym is to develop and condition specific muscle groups that are relevant in aiding mobility, speed and durability during training sessions on the pitch. In these particular videos, the exercises performed here targets the inner thigh muscles, the calf muscles and the last video exercise works every muscles on the legs including quads, hamstrings and glutes. Before undertaking any exercise, make sure you are physically healthy and you've got an outlined plan as to what, how and when you do any specific exercise at the gym. If necessary, consult the gym instructors before undertaking any exercise if you are not sure. These exercises are mainly for leg strength and development that will enhance your footwork, movement, agility and the ability to focus with confidence on various techniques of kicking the ball #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #GKELITE #coachingtips #playerdevelopment (at The Gym Wood Green The Mall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnkLQujVjD/?igshid=38kfkevd0z0e

Pre-season training is always going to be very tough and demanding mainly because of the length of time off in between. The main techniques that needs to be focused on are movement and footwork and when the fitness levels drops as expected over a prolonged period of time of no goalkeeping training, these techniques so suffer a dip in form, sharpness and composure. This drill, together with a various similar drills must be a priority on the training programme and be conducted over a reasonable amount of timescale to increase fitness levels #gkunion #goalkeeper #gkcoaches #moderndaygoalkeeper #goalkeepercoach #goalkeepertraining #GKELITE (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBkb_M5jjyM/?igshid=6t8scobvx5ht

The only way to be on top of your game in any undertaking is through growth and development. The same rule applies to my trade as a goalkeeping coach and the willing to learn and educate oneself is a necessity to be on top of the evolutionary spectrum. @gknexus is a goalkeeping platform for coaches and goalkeepers who are keen on developing their skills and delivering quality up-to-date technical and professional training methods and hosting a recent conference #GKNEXCONF was a masterpiece of presentation from renowned professional coaches from Germany, England, Spain and USA feedings valuable information on methodologies and philosophies of approach. If you are a #gkcoaches #goalkeepercoach , I highly recommend to subscribe on their website for professional unique content if you are dedicated to bringing out the best out of your students #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #insta #innovation #leadership #postoftheday #comment #goalkeepercoach #intermediary #playerdevelopment #GKELITE #coachingtips (at Wood Green, Haringey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBi2XDwDX1n/?igshid=ljioxzr0xvai

Yesterday's training gave me a chance to analyse movement and set positioning and these two shots presented the opportunity for that. In the goalkeeping community, there has always been a debate about the use and degree of effectiveness of the "A frame" set positioning. With legs far wide apart past shoulder width, this creates a "negative step" into a dive with little or no distance gained. This is seen on the first shot. The second shot set positioning was perfect but the timing of the dive was slightly off. The main underlining message here is fitness levels and once the mind and body are in harmony to that degree, adjustments in technical skills and abilities becomes more profound #gkunion #goalkeeper #gkcoaches #moderndaygoalkeeper #goalkeepercoach #fitness #goalkeepertraining #GKELITE (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZ6zVej2yc/?igshid=14vo665kus98g

What you consume for breakfast has a direct impact on the quality of converted "fuel" needed to start your day. For goalkeepers this is important for any training programme designed to improve ones mental awareness and focus and also to help with the overall conditioning of muscle tissues. These are my favourite breakfast meals that are full of the essential vitamins and calories needed for a productive day and of course, before my training sessions. What's featured in the ingredients are:- ✅ Oats ✅ Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Mixed Nuts ✅ Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries , Pears, Bananas, Granny Smith Apples ✅ Coconut Milk or Almond milk ✅ Granola Crisps, Cinnamon. ✅ Peanut butter, Plain Coconut Yogurt As you will notice there's no sugar in the recipes as there's enough sugar content in the fruits and berries. If you would like a bit of added sweetness to your breakfast then I advice to add a bit of Maple syrup or some dried mixed fruits #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #GKELITE #gkcoaches #gktraining (at Wood Green, Haringey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVPNwYD114/?igshid=gjc6r0fjg67d

It's a well known fact that nutrition is critical for producing the right fuel or energy for training days and match days. Although I cannot recommend exactly what one should eat before and after training, but I'll advice that one must do an thorough honest research on their diet habits to attain success. To maintain a high level of fitness like the professionals, all forms of junk foods must be avoided as they contain far less nutritional value and can potentially become a catalyst to nutritional deficiencies and in some cases, create toxins in the body. When toxins and mineral deficiencies occur in the body, it affects the physiacl and mental performance of the goalkeeper in training and match days, thus enhancing the risk of physical injury #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #GKELITE (at Wood Green, Haringey, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOGQQeDwgZ/?igshid=1tsbu5qjhwosv

Today, I did a few demonstrations on stretching the hamstrings. This is a delicate muscle group than must be conditioned in the correct way before undertaking any rigorous exercise or goalkeeping drills. There are obviously numerous techniques of stretching the hamstrings but always stick to the technique that is best suitable (comfortable) for your anatomy. Everyone is different hence the various techniques. The last technique involves the thigh muscles so I my advice is to do the first two exercises before advancing to the third which involves the thigh muscles. While doing this particular exercise try as much as possible to raise the hips high above the ground for the duration of the exercise #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #insta #innovation #leadership #postoftheday #comment #goalkeepercoach #fitness #wellbeing #businessminded (at New River Sport & Fitness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAupvAsDg_S/?igshid=demqmo4u3yr9

Water Fast Program:- Today it the day I start my 5-day water fast. During the course of this program, a number of objectives has been outlined for the reason to undertake this program. They are:- 1️⃣ Cleanse the body of toxins 2️⃣ Strengthen the immune system 3️⃣ lose lower abdominal excess fat 4️⃣ Increase the natural body's ability to repair damaged muscle tissue and rejuvenate cells 5️⃣ Heighten awareness, consciousness, focus and intuition. 6️⃣ Drastically reduce inflammation of the joints (especially my knees) 7️⃣ A harmonious mind and body biophysics. One thing I'm concerned about is the amount of weight loss I will experience, currently for my age (45 years) I'm guessing I weigh about 90kg (198.4 pounds = 14st 3lb) and I looking to lose 5kg and scale down to 85kg ( 176.3 pounds = 13st 5lb). This ideal weight will put me in shape to perform my goalkeeping drills and skills training programme when the crisis is over. My next picture update will be at the end of the 5-day water fast, which is on 22 April Wednesday next week. #gkcoaches #gkunion #goalkeeper #football #entrepreneurship #moderndaygoalkeeper #insta #innovation #leadership #postoftheday #comment #goalkeepercoach #fitness #wellbeing (at Wood Green) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_E6ENwj5yP/?igshid=1e5xbu2gxgrdo
