Fozcast - The Ben Foster Podcast

Are we coaching goalkeepers WRONG? 🧤⚽

Former England goalkeeping coach Martyn Margetson joins Fozzy and Tom to discuss how modern goalkeeping has evolved and whether today's goalkeepers are being asked to do too much.

Having worked at the highest level of football for decades, including with England under Gareth Southgate and now Wales, Marge shares his views on modern coaching, the growing pressure to play out from the back and why traditional goalkeeping fundamentals are sometimes being overlooked.

He also shares behind-the-scenes stories from his time with England, what it was like working closely with Jordan Pickford and the small technical details that can make all the difference at the highest level.

From coaching philosophies to the demands of the modern game, it's a fascinating insight into what it really takes to be an elite goalkeeper.
