Andrew Owens

Goalkeeper Coach Success Story

I share my passion for goalkeeping with players who can benefit from my experience and expertise. I have been a goalkeeper since the age of 9 and have over 15 years experience as a goalkeeper coach. During my playing career I had trials for Bristol City and Birmingham City. As a former goalkeeper, I want to give goalkeepers of all ages the opportunity to fulfil their potential and learn the technical, mental and tactical skills required to be a top goalkeeper

The company is a reliable point of reference who have always gone out of their way to offer me advice and drive forward my coaching opportunities.

What's your motivation for being a goalkeeper coach?

Being a goalkeeper is a unique position which requires a lot of mental strength. One mistake and you are more heavily criticised than any other position on the pitch.

A great keeper must enjoy the trust of his team and be able to remain calm and focused. There may be key moments when the team needs him/her to take direct action. Maintaining focus is important, but very hard to achieve, particularly against certain teams.

I make the most of that calmness I’ve already mentioned. I am passionate about goalkeeping, I love being a keeper. You have to enjoy it in order to be calm and relaxed on the pitch.

Would you recommend Coachability to other coaches?

I feel that Coachability has offered me a new direction in my coaching career and I can see many more interesting opportunities coming my way. I have worked with players of varying ages and abilities and being able to work with and provide advice to help so many different players at different stages of their development is exciting.
