Hey everyone! I wanted to share a quick update and reach out for some advice from the experienced coaches in this group. Last season, I pitched the idea of joining the goalkeeper coaching staff to the head GK coordinator at my son’s club. Things looked promising initially, but it didn't pan out because none of the existing coaches left, so there were simply no open slots. However, the coordinator remembered me and kept looking for an opening because he was genuinely impressed by my passion for goalkeeping and my eagerness to learn—even over formal coaching experience. Thanks to that, a real possibility has just come up: joining the coaching staff of one of the club's two Senior teams (it's a newly created team so they are currently in the lowest category in our region) to train their goalkeepers. To be clear, it’s not fully finalized yet. I still need to sit down with the head coach to discuss the project, schedule, expectations, and overall commitment required. For me, commitment is paramount and non-negotiable, so if I find that I can't give 100% to what the team needs, I won't take it on. But the opportunity is on the table, and I'm really excited about it. At 45, stepping into coaching is a huge milestone. It’s something I’ve been thinking for the past couple of years, and while I have the full backing of the GK coordinator—who knows my background as a player and that I've never officially coached before—jumping straight into it with adult football definitely commands respect. Setting aside official UEFA coaching badges for the moment (I'll have time to earn those down the road), I'd love to tap into this forum's collective wisdom to start preparing in case everything aligns: - Materials & Planning: Do you have or know of any free resources, session templates, or online databases to help structure training for adult goalkeepers (18-25 years old)? - First-Time Senior Coaching Advice: For those who made the transition from playing to coaching adults, what key details would you suggest focusing on during these initial conversations and early sessions?
