How important are plyometrics

Through coaching various age ranges at various levels ive become more obsessed with the study of plyometric training in goalkeepers. Its very evident to me as gks go through growth phases that their movement mechanics change dramatically. This is not because they're getting worse technically or plateaued in training, its because their brain and body aren't keeping up with each other during this period. Plyometrics in youth keepers is so important as it allows the signals from the brain to keep firing into the right muscle groups when needed. It also helps with many other areas like speed, agility and power applications in the movements we want to do. So if you or a goalkeeper you know "cant jump" or "has no co-ordination" apply some plyometrics to their sessions 💪🏻
