1:11:35 - Camp Shutout Talk

Chad Prickett is a former goalkeeper from the University of Kentucky and is now the founder of Columbus Goalkeeper Academy. His passion for the position made him the perfect person to talk to about development for teenage goalkeepers, specifically the connection between three training environments: individual training, team practice, and games.

Although those three areas have a lot of nuance that we don’t quite get all the way into - the difference from coaching male and female gks, areas of the country, styles of play within certain clubs - our main focus with this podcast was to survey how our country approaches each of the three - again, individual training, team practice, and game. We talk about why they’re important, how we’re connecting the three areas to one another, and where we’re currently succeeding/failing within each one.

FC United’s Stan Anderson and Bill Reno take a deep dive on the USMNT goalkeeper depth chart. Prior to recording, Stan and Bill ranked their top USMNT goalkeeping options, then averaged the lists together, then counted up the list from 25 to 1.

As an aside: I’ve been wanting to do something similar for the USWNT yet I’ve been unable to find a buyer. If you or someone you know knows the USWNT goalkeeping pool and can talk about it beyond a couple of names, please reach out to me at [email protected].
