Kohl and Zak ask Mark how he approaches training now with the modern day goalkeeper. Mark discusses what he sees in today's goalkeepers and how their roles are continuing to change in the team concept. He talks about how it is important for a goalkeeper to be good with their feet and be able to command the back line on a consistent basis.
